The Right to Dream is Proud to Present

Sarah Dungan
My "first time" - heh - roleplaying that is, was at on
an overnight camp out at summer camp when I was about
12. It was supposed to be a "themed" camp out, ours
was Arabian Nights...however, after we had finished
our "just add water" arabian food we realised our
councilors didn't really have any further plans. And
so, our junior councilor whips out this huge binder
and says "I've got a game if anyone wants. Anyone
ever played Dungeons and Dragons?" Turns out he'd
written up his own version of the thing - I was
extremely impressed...my 12 year old self had not know
stuff that cool existed! To my thinking, it was the
greatest thing since that cartoon show I used to watch
by the same name. I went home and bought the only
similar thing I could find - which was one of those
box sets with the board and the stand up figures and
such. My sister and I TRIED to play it, but we
basically gave up.
I started up again in high school, when a friend of
mine found west ends Star Was RPG and ran a game for a
group of us. I wasn't going to stick with it, but I
lost a bet and was forced to play with another group
and got hooked again. Since then we've done Star
Wars, White Wolfs Vampire, Werewolf, and Changeling,
Deadlands, Call of Cthulu, Seventh Sea, heck we even
started on the old TSR Marvel Superheros game when the
X-men movie came out and we all reread our comics and
remembered how damned cool they were (course we sort
of rewrote the dicing system - damn TSR's tables and
conversion charts and more dice then anyone should
ever need)
I tend to be terribly long winded when given the
opportunity, so I'll focus on making this last part
brief...^_~
I'm an Film/Animation major at the Rhode Island School
of Design. I draw...alot. I am one of those
obnoxious sort of role players who is either to poor
or too cheap to buy the rule books. I mooch off
friends, get them as gifts, or find other ways to get
them for free, or I just don't get them. Hey - when a
single class requires you to spend a hundred bucks on
watercolor paint you have to learn to make
concessions. I have a web page:
