Staying up late working on the Char #TTRPG #Dragonbane setting. Tired, but now I know the name, race, sex, and profession of every NPC living in Char. I also have the names of all 14 Queens of the kingdom (queendom?) and their kids in the current dynasty. Off to bed if I can make it that far.

My first 5 #TTRPG 1. Paul Kaiser's Nimolee 2. Russell Vannemans's Hyperborea 3. D&D (white box) 4. Traveller 5. Call of Cthulu Games I ran combined 1,2,&3. Or 4 AD&D was published between 3 and 4. I looked at it and bought the Monster Manual as a reference for my own games, but rejected the system
