The most fun we had was converting a high level D&D wizard that I had into TFT stats. He was forced to take the same time to cast his spell in TFT that he would have been required under D&D rules and he had to memorize spells. He fought a "resurrected" [I'm sure we killed him more than once] Tollenkar, who was strickly a TFT wizard. The battle was epic. My D&D wizard, Kail, took FOREVER to cast a spell while Tollenkar and Co. fired stuff off left and right. When the D&D spell went off, however, the effects were larger than anything allowed in TFT. It was a phenomenal battle. Tollenkar was perched on a dias on a magical throne with gobs of protection and was supported by an ungodly number of apprentices. Kail dispatched almost all of the apprentices with a high level Otiluke's freezing sphere spell. Wham, bam, thank you ma'am. It took him a while to get it off but his D&D protection was more than enough to keep the bad guys at bay. After that, neither Tollenkar nor Kail to touch the other, and if either one did touch the other it was game over. Kail eventually won but not by the sheer power of D&D spells. Nope. He teleported behind Tollenkar, walked through the spell shield and clubbed him to death with his staff!

Do you remember the first time you played? My regular Dungeon Master said "We're not playing D&D" I am immediately offended. He's got some new flimsy little game with like three dice and a booklet that's smaller than a TV guide. "Do you know how much money I just spent on these D&D books?" He shows me the Hand of the Jedi Widow Washer and stays on message. "We're just going to do some Melee fights today. We still play D&D." I Narrow my eyes at him. I can't believe how easy I am to manipulate. But yeah, we played, and it was fun. I mean he shifted into my side hex for a free attack that first game, but I never let it happen again I promise. So every afternoon when we got out of school we would go to his house, each make a bowl of Ice Cream and play a round or two of Melee. Soon we added his younger brother, and then another friend. A month later we were all experts. When he announced he was staring up a Melee campaign permanently we all nodded enthusiastically. I mean how much longer we would put up with that broken old game system called D&D I don't know. I mean in D&D one could have eighteen double zero strength and only one hit point. It just didn't make any sense at all. David Michael Grouchy II _________________________________________________________________ Need to know now?
