AD&D Character Creation 1: Player Name and Phone Number

The player's name and phone number should go at the top of the sheet. Phone numbers are to be provided at which the referee can reach the player if he needs to know character information, or if a game session is scheduled, canceled, or rescheduled. If it is likely that someone other than the player will answer the phone, it will be useful to know the identity or relationship of those people (are they your spouse or your friend, your children or your siblings?). Although this seems like a small point, I can't tell you how many scraps of character papers I have found lying around that can't be identified, because there is no player information on it, or how many times I was unable to let a player know that a game time or location was changed because I couldn't find his number.

The site which inspired this site....

M. J. Young's Dungeons & Dragons Materials
Collection of such pages as the much-praised Alignment Quiz, What is an RPG? (excerpted from Multiverser), the highly valued Confessions of a Dungeons & Dragons™ Addict, along with special rules and player aids in both written and computer formats, this site was highly praised by RAWS, linked by Gary Gygax, and is worth a look even if you don't like what you found here.

The best new role playing game....

The Multiverser Information Center
The complexity of creating a D&D character always reminds me of how much simpler it is to play Multiverser®, the game which incorporates all other games, all other worlds, everything imaginable, with nothing else to buy.

A consideration of time travel....

Temporal Anomalies in Popular Movies
There are enough time travel films out there now that most of the things which could go wrong in time have been shown on the silver screen. This page applies a new conception of how time works (discussed in the Multiverser® game system to help referees sort out game scenarios in which player characters travel in time) to unraveling the most popular of such movies. An Event Horizon Hot Spot and Sci Fi Weekly Site of the Week which has won the author national recognition as an authority on time travel in fiction.
