I got the band back together

[Rigon]

So, a while ago, I converted my old 2e FR character, Rigon, to C&C. He's been sitting around in a file for a long time. The other night, I was going through some old folders and came across my other FR character and, for some reason, my buddy's old character, both of whom are a part of Rigon's adventuring band. That got me thinking, "Boy, wouldn't it be nice to have all of the old group converted." So I sent out a few emails and made a few texts and I gathered enough info to do just such a conversion. So for all of yous out there in Troll-land, I proudly present

[Geleg]

it's cool that you still have your old pcs. kinda jealous over here ...

[Tadhg]

That's awesome!!

[Zudrak]

Cool, Rigon. Thanks for sharing.

When my brother and I resumed gaming with Third Edition, he decided not to bring his old 1e PC back. He wanted to start 3e from scratch.

However, he gave me his original PC's character sheet so I could use him as an NPC in the City of Greyhawk. When we converted the campaign over to C&C, I converted his old PC too. That was a lot of fun to see a 40th level thief from AD&D change from an accountant's dream in 3e back to simplicity with C&C.

I hear ya, Z. We played these characters pretty steadily for about 4-5 years to get them to this level. When 3rd edition came out, we converted and in about 1 year, they were all in the high 20s and they became to much to really enjoy, so we stopped playing them. I just have them because of my packrat mentality. Converting each only took about 15-20 minutes, most of which were looking up magic items to make sure I didn't miss anything. Some of the items we have might as well be considered minor artifacts, but we where young and it was fun.
