I decided it was time to convert my Mary Sue quartermaster to 4e from 3e.

Lots of fun memories from that group of players, and the combination was magic.
We had spectators watching us perform as our characters in the game.

I used to trade emails with the late Christopher Hitchens after he gave out his email address on a late-night show (he was also in the DC phonebook for anyone who wished to phone him), on one occasion we were trading verses of the obscene sea shanty The Good Ship Venus. I regret his premature death more and more every day, he'd have had a fine time commenting on the 2016 presidential race (and probably supporting Bernie Sanders).
