The byline (am I using the right word?) of this blog is: Ramblings of a gaming addict. Keep that in mind.

     I have been collecting Knights of the Dinner Table (KoDT) for years now. I have all the core issues. Number one (which I bought years ago on Ebay for $300) through to the current issue #279. If I had all the issues stacked together, it is possible they could stop a .50 cal round. Sadly the responsibilities of life have kept me away for far too long. I knew that I was behind but is turns out that behind meant two years of unread issues. Two years...I have been picking up my issues from a comic book shop some 70 miles away (another story) in what I thought was a religious manner. When I finally sat down to pick up where I left off I discovered I was missing two issues. One of the issues that was missing was of course the issue after the one I last read. Sigh....so clickety clack on the  Kenzer Co website and I ordered the missing issues. A long story long, they arrived in the mail today! I just opened it and read the editorial. I was smiling all the way through as Jolly once again hit all the right geek notes. That reminded me that my second post ever on this blog in December of 2012 was regarding KoDT.  It is still a favorite after all these years. 

     I have also been reading the 5th edition of the Player's Handbook (sorry Hackmaster but I still love you too) and I am working on creating my first 5th edition character. Let me tell you it has been fun. Played another session of basic D&D with my good friends online this week. I felt the magic again. Is this the midlife crisis of a geek? Who cares.
