The News Heroes Are Made Of

They (whoever "they" are) say that no news is good news. Unfortunately, No news is also dull. So, what's been going on in my gaming end of the gaming world? Not much really, although (wonder of wonders) I've once again got a regular group together and am currently running Fantasy Hero (yay!).

I've taken an odd approach to this Fantasy Hero campaign, based on the idea that (prepare yourself Herophiles, I'm about to utter a blasphemy) there are some good things in classic Dungeons & Dragons (by classic, I mean anything prior to 3rd edition). So, with this thought in mind, I cobbled together a few campaign guidelines designed to encourage my players to build characters that are reminiscent of the classic D&D archetypes and have started running sessions based heavily upon (ie. lifted nearly in whole) some of the great old xD&D modules. I'm having a blast (and the players seem to be having fun as well). I do, however, wonder if any of my players have recognized what I'm doing yet (even though I've not told the players what it is, the PCs are currently fighting their way through one of the most famous "dungeons" even published). I guess eventually one of them will mention something.
