The first character I ever created was a fighter-type in Steve Jackson’s The Fantasy Trip.<\/p>\n
His name: Chris the Conqueror.<\/p>\n
Alliteration was a thing for me, even though I didn’t know it then, due to reading comic books.<\/p>\n
I think I ended up naming the other two members of our party, Nelson the Intelligent and Anders the Swede.\u00a0 Real original, huh?<\/p>\n
We spent a good part of freshman year of high school playing Melee\/Wizard and all of the adventure modules that we could get our hands on.<\/p>\n
We fudged the rules a bit as we played, giving ourselves magic weapons as we progressed in skills.\u00a0 Nelson ended up with Excalibur (yes, THAT Excalibur) and I had some enchanted sword that I named Phoenix.\u00a0 Anders stuck with a two-handed battle axe throughout our time in that world.<\/p>\n
By the time we finished playing, we had another set of characters go through one of the last adventures, Orb Quest.\u00a0 I think we may have had a larger party (4 or 5?) and to this day I think Nelson’s character is still stuck on the second to last floor in that tower, frozen for all eternity.<\/p>\n
And while it seemed like it was a long time, I don’t believe we played more than a year with that system.\u00a0 We abandoned it before sophomore year, when something more interesting came along, at least for me, personally.<\/p>\n
