Holy Pants!!!

I abandoned all hope long ago...

I came home from my initial orthodontist appointment (9th grade) to find that Melee & Wizard arrived in the mail that day. I wasn't really expecting it, for this was when "allow 6 to 8 weeks for delivery" meant "whenever".

I read the rules then put Flavius and Wulf through their paces. Again and again. I had teams of spearmen pitted against Giants, bears, and wolves. I think those were all the "monsters" available. Maybe snakes?

Later that night I dove into Wizard. Man, it was so cool. A few months later my brother came home for Christmas and taught me about summoning creatures in shadow hexes, which was all the rage among thegrad students in the Cornell Comp. Sci. Department.

Enough for now. I've got to go explain to my wife why I'll be breaking out in random giggles for the few months.

YEE-HAH!!!!!
