Totally magic. I've not seen him in years but I know if and when we meet again that the first thing we talk of will be that 477That's one of those magical moments that are impossible to create, but make it all worthwhile.
I miss those times.
We used to have an AD&D group fluctuating between 8-12 players regularly. We had a lot of fun.
Had a similarly bizarre episode playing Gamma World as 14 year olds. Another friend had his character die on him and got quite emotional. Said "come on...what about a twist of fate or something that see me survive".....I felt sorry for him and said "sure....2% chance...Go for it"......Rolled 01 and announces "EASY". We decided that the bullet which had killed him had stuck in his metal hip flask and just winded him.
I've seen whackier shit playing ASL for 25 years mind you (although the 477 is unlikely to ever be bettered).
I miss role playing to. Tried to get a group together in Manchester in the last few months but one of the guys was very weird, and the less weird one explained to us that he "can do magic....REAL magic though....not the stupid stuff in acts". Errrr.....ooooo kkkkkk. Play a bit of Call of Cthulhu on occasion with the Liverpool ASL mafia to. But it's too rare to get any real momentum going.
I LOVED AD&D. Had something like a 20th level half pig half man call Eru Pigsy whose favoured weapon was a magical mud-rake.....The TV programme Monkey was all the rage at the time.
