My Gaming History

Jorus's (The Elder Lands) Gaming History

I wanted to give credit to all the people who have help shape Jorus over the years (and I do mean years :) The first group to step onto the face of Jorus (The largest of my created worlds) back in 1985. The members were Jason Willard (Hathor Dangar, Ranger), Eddy McCarthy (Mordron the Barbarian), Andy Olsen (Olorin the Druid), David Fox (Played a very wise and crafty thief (eventually theives guildmaster), David Kraus (Lord Gordin, Master of trident and bow, bane of Byssul) and of course my character the great and msyterous Malis the Arch mage Orge Magi. This great group was and is the Lords of Aragon. They adventured on Terrus Arran in and around Tennor.
After I moved from NC to CA a new group was formed in 1991. This group marked a heavy jump into role playing over dungeon hacking (both are very fun). The group was made up of Eric Watkins (Icen the Ranger Elf), Anne Clark (later to become Anne Watkins)(Jerill the High Priestess of Charnis), Laurie Steckler (Alya the Mage (Merged and ascended with a demi-god) Elder Dungeon Master's Wife), Mirium Bayman (Gian, Bard and Adventurer and Rosie the Hill Giant) (Mirium died in 1994, she was a good friend and we all miss her!)
In both groups there was several short term players (currently I cant remember all their names , but as I do I will include them here.)
These people were all very important to the development of Jorus and I salute them all!!.

Cheers!

  2. Don't forget your side-kick, god-jr. I have a pretty cool picture of the two of you, when you were being very evil as DM. And I think you're leaving out a dwarf and a thief/halfling/kender who irritated the bejeebers out of most everyone.
