"Are there any girls there?"

In my dream, I was scrambling to find five ten-sided dice. The party were facing their first encountre with my younger brother as GM, and somehow I'd never gotten around to rolling up my character. The only skill listed on my sheet was "Dodge +1". I thought to myself Maybe I should figure out if he's even got decent dexterity before I spend my points on that. The method for generating scores was: roll five ten-siders, drop the lowest, and add the total to 19. I quickly reckoned that this would give PCs and average score of 41 in every trait. My attempts to scoop up five ten-siders kept netting me a few six-sided dice. I was thinking about giving my character animal-training skills because he had a companion mastiff, but my older brother was already playing something of a beastmaster and I didn't want to overlap. I was thinking of my character as "Viktor", but then I remembered that I'd found that too generic a name and wanted something different. Something more German. In my half-awake state, I considered that "Sigo" would make a good choice, sit it could be an abbreviated form of any Old High German name beginning with the element Sig- "victory". "Sige" is the setting demanded Middle High.

Six years since I've played a role-playing game of any sort and I still have dreams like this.

I hope I was fair, and killed your character in a reasonable way.

In my dream, I was about to fight Lou Ferrigno when I woke up. He's old now, I could totally have beaten him.

I read this post, and made my saving throw against mockery. Yes, I occasionally have gamer dreams, too.
