Can you give us your favorite gaming story?
Boy Can I! Just Recently I Was Running The Picnic Game Day Afternoon Session, Aron Was Supposed To Run An Ebberon Setting That Same Afternoon. We Decided To Combine The Two, And Give Aron The Opportunity To Bask In My DM Greatness.lol. We Were Playing The Updated Version Of Gary Gygax's Classic " The Tomb Of Horrors". The Party Adventured Abmirably For Awhile And Came Upon A Puzzle. Easily Solving This Puzzle, The Party Recived A Gem. The First Person That Touched The Gem Was Informed That It Was A "Gem Of Wishing." Roberts Character Gave The Gem To Toms Character Who Impaitently Used The One Wish Right Then. The Wish Was Fairly Simple And Straight Foward, "I Wish For The Whole Party To Be In The Room We Need To Be In To End This Quest." Easy Right? Wrong! The Gem Is Actually A "Cursed Gem Of Wishing"! The Gem Is Made To Twist And Pervert The Wish As Much As Possible! Gary Gygax Is A Genius! I Deposited The Players In The Antechamber To The Room They Needed To Be In. The Door Into That Chamber Is Made From Adamintite. The Door Behind A DC 40 Search Check Secert Door. The Room Dimensions 20x20. The Secondary Power Of The Gem, Roll Init. For The Gem And On Its Turn It EXPLODES In A 30ft Blast Of Hell Fire. Thus Dealing The Death Blow Of 200 Points Of Hellfire To The Entire Party. 70 Points If You Make You Reflex Save. The Whole Party Died. Awesome. The Best Thing Was The Last Character To Go Seeing A Noisesome Purple Mass That Had Been The Gem Chuckling At It Through A Magic Mouth Spell.

What hobbies do you have outside of gaming?
I Ilke To Read Anything I an Get My Hands On. Love Frisbee Golf Too!
