Hello!
First, I think it’s important to acknowledge the fine work that all of our Dungeon Masters (DMs) have done for us in the past: take a bow Matt L, Pierre L, and Peter W! Without your dedication to this game, we would not be here to talk about the future. Also, thank you to all of the players, without your involvement there would be no game to play.
Second, apologies go out to Peter W and Paul D. It was not my intention to overwhelm your game with new players or to ruin your gaming experience with an influx of younger people. For both things, I am very sorry. You have to understand that I RAVE about Peter (and Matt L and Pierre L)! They’re great people- doing incredible work for the D&D community! And, as you saw last Thursday night, a lot of people wanted to experience the game that Peter is hosting. I honestly thought we would have 4-6 people (including the new players) show up given the rotating nature of the game: some of our regulars haven’t shown up in a couple weeks! Anyways, Peter and Paul- I should’ve messaged you, this won’t happen again!
Third, to all of the new players I can promise that as long as you continue to make your purchases here, I will have a gaming group ready for you. Funny how some parents rush out to Chapters or to our competition to buy their D&D books and then send their kids to me to be entertained. While, I can understand this if my prices were high or if we weren’t supporting the game with a game session, the truth is: all of our D&D books are price BELOW US retail and we’ve hosting D&D Encounters since it started. we don’t charge to play D&D Encounters and don’t charge membership fees either. Go figure.
At the moment, I am waiting to hear back from a young person who expressed an interest in hosting. In the meantime, I will start Season 3: “The Keep On The Borderlands” over at Session 1. Our first meeting is this Thursday, November 25, 2010 at 6 PM. Please post on our D&D Forum Group (community.wizards.com/thground_dnd)!
Forth, to our original D&D group, I can promise you that your gaming experience will go undisturbed. You are welcome to continue your sessions on Thursday nights as well hosted by one of the best DMs I’ve ever seen, Peter! (See you Thursday, guys!)
I await your comments, concerns, death threats and e-mail bombs.
Thanks for reading and see you at the games!
Regards,
iRoy
