The Complete Cast of Characters

Everyone who's passed through, from September 1987 to the present. Contains tables, but there's also a table-free version.

Obituaries from the Early Days

Most of the in-jokes would be pretty lame if I tried explaining them (especially well over a decade after they were written), but here they are anyway.

Previous Deaths of Recovered Characters

Low-level characters generally stay dead. Mid-level characters, on the other hand, are often worth reviving...as long as they can pay the price (which is never as simple as gold, of course).

The Tale of Zoron the Moron

This story is actually from Rahul's PNG campaign, but this seemed like the place for it.

Campaign Song Parodies

Pillage, Rape, and Loot and Burn
Presented by Matt in 1990 to the tune of Supercalifragilistic; Dan quickly pointed out it could also be sung to Yankee Doodle.
Home on the Plane
Erich wrote this during the party's first trip to the drow plane in March 1991. (It certainly poked a hole in G's story about spending a few months on the wandering minstrel circuit during an absence from the party; maybe he just told stories and strummed a little tune while he talked, eh?)
Are You Sleeping, NPC?
Concocted by Erich, Stan, and Gita during a drive home from Pittsburgh in November 1992, partly because the party had just discovered the joy of tracking down Nirduk operatives and killing them in their sleep, and partly because there was nothing good on the radio. Performed (as a round, which was only proper) by Stan, Erich, Matt, Dan, and even Gita on New Year's Eve, 1992-3, which must have been a frightening experience for Rahul.
Hellward Bound
Dan wrote this one while the party debated a trip to Acheron in August 1997, providing the impetus for this part of the nostalgia page. (Let's face it, I wouldn't be adding this section to immortalize "Home on the Plane" :-)
Rockabye Red One
During the party's first night on the Dustplane, Silvana sang a lullaby to help the Chaotics get to sleep. Erich figured this probably wasn't it.
Songs of Insanity
One of Ganeth's Dustplane insanities was euphoria in battle, which he expressed by singing in melee. Here's what he came up with. (Just remember he was nuts when he sang them.)
