A little while ago my best friend, Ban, had talked about tentatively putting together a D&D campaign that’s run through the mail. He had all kinds of his own special twists to the idea – like having the story be told through drawings by the players – which we immediately volunteered to be beta-testers for.
Yesterday, Chris and I got our starter kits in the mail. I marveled over the envelope for at least 5 minutes before tearing it open (I had to verify that Ban did not actually hand-draw on every single envelope, otherwise I never would’ve opened it!). Inside was an introductory letter, as well as Ban-style doodles and the classic hand-drawn typography.
Still trying to decide whom/what my character should be, but I’m leaning towards Tall Mouse for the prospective cheese rewards that might be in my future! :D
Long story short: my best friend is the best.

Thanks, everyone!
Mat – I’m sure Ben would love to mail you a starter kit, if you’re interested on joining the fun! He’s on FB (Benjamin Meteorite) if you wanna get in touch.

That would rule. Would it matter that I’ve NEVER played D&D before?

You HAVEN’T? I find that really surprising… But no, it won’t matter at all because you have enough intuition thanks to the collective geek-conscious. You’ve played Munchkin – this is sort of like a more crude version of that with lots more player-participation. I’ll hook you two up on FB!
