I'm the same way with almost all the forms of gaming I do, whether console, computer, or tabletop. All the history is somehow remember or collected so that it interweves to help build or inspire the next, all ultimately adding--from small details to large themes--to a core RPG persona and history. I presume you've slowly been adding to it (the online archive) over time? I've been scanning through many of the entries and it's quite the massive collection. How about pictures? I saw one and I grinned. I can appreciate such an archive. I’m the same way with almost all the forms of gaming I do, whether console, computer, or tabletop.

I was a year ahead and headed off to the Air Force. The DM and other players were all a year behind me, but with me leaving we decided to off the homebrew campaign we had been on... which seemed to have gone on forever (in reality, just over 2 years... 2-3 times a week). We ended it like we started, goofing off and having fun. We were never serious role players, always off track and driving our DM mad. But that is the magic of D&D I guess. It changes for every group that sits down and plays it together. That homebrew campaign is the reason I am still deeply in love with AD&D. I still don't really enjoy the 3.0 rules, but that is what gets played now a days. We tried IRC a few years ago, but it just didn't bring back the magic. Then we were dead set on doing Neverwinter Nights together. Unfortunately NWN came at a bad time for all of us. You just can't beat sitting at a table with 4-5 good friends and escaping for a few hours. I still remember the day that my high school (and first) group had to say good-bye.

My own group is most of the way through Chapter Two after ... about nine months. Since we only play once a month or less, I expect we'll be done with the campaign some time in 2013. Oh dear. Maybe we should have picked something a bit lighter for our once-a-month game? Congratulations on the completion of the campaign, and on the having of a good time by all.
