I started this campaign in the Virgin Islands during my sister's wedding. Third edition D&D had just come up and I remember copying character sheets at the hotel. This is start was also unusual in a few ways-- first, I hadn't DM'ed a game since 1980's and second-- I didn't really have any players yet. Janis and I played a "test" game at the resort at night with a few one-off characters. I had played in Jason's game a few times but really wanted to run a game with the new fangled D&D 3rd edition rules.

I think this was one of my more successful campaigns but sadly it all sort of came to an end when the dot com era ended and Jason and Christian moved away to the Sacramento area.

It's also a first for Janis in that she played a Paladin (she's got a thing for the slinky all-black characters of questionable alignment).

The adventure starts in the small but important town of Dirole (as do all my campaigns since the early 1980s) with the chatacters as caravan guards (the McDonalds entry-level job of the D&D world it seems) but quickly takes a turn as one of their party is mysteriously kidnapped and taken to the northern wastes of Jotsplat where powerful long-dormant forces are awakening from their slumber.
