<\/div>\n

Since Katherine has expressed an interest in D&D (and played in a couple of generic D&D 4e games Doyce has run), we’re slowly (given interruptions of other things like business trips and vacations) starting up a Home D&D Group.<\/p>\n

To wit, Katherine, Margie and I will generate characters, and the Margie and I will trade off GMing while Katherine plays her character and the other adult player runs the other two.<\/p>\n

Katherine, going with what she knows, has decided another Halfling Rogue is the bee’s knees (though she did toy with some other possibilities). Current plans are Margie with a Dragonborn Warlord, and myself with a Half-Elven Paladin.<\/p>\n

The plan is to have a weekly (say Wednesday night) D&D family game.<\/p>\n

If we pull this off, I’ll be very tickled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
