Weregaming:
a term Herb created circa 1976 when the fantasy role-play gaming group at the Defense Language Institute was looking for a name for their unofficial organization. There was already a wargaming group, who focused on SPI’s games such as War in Europe, War in the East, War in the West, and War in the Pacific (among many others, but you can grasp the concept) who were known as “The Wargamers”. As “our” group focused on the newly emerging Role-Play Gaming, epitomized by TSR’s Dungeons & Dragons, Herb called the bunch were-gamers. Clever pun, yes? No? Ah, well.
“They were dead before we met them!”
This has been the rallying cry of our gaming group for nigh on 20 years. It’s a mostly true statement, especially when you count the number of zombies, skeletons, and other undead we have gone up against (and generally survived.)
Herb was introduced to Dungeons and Dragons shortly after its initial publication; Katrina was bitten by the gaming bug before they met, and in the intervening 3+ decades, we played a number of role-play games.
Shortly after Herb and Katrina moved to Washington, we met Bjoern, Erynn, and Marcus. Gordon moved up not long after, and the six of us gamed together for several months. Marcus dropped out, Bjoern met Liam and Clemeth and later, Stuart and introduced them to the rest of us, and more gaming ensued. Clem died, Liam and Richard moved away; Cat & Mike and Adam joined us, and so it goes on to today.
The group currently consists of our rotating Gamemasters: Bjoern, Stuart and Adam, and players Erynn, Katrina and Herb. Cat & Mike still occassionally game with us, but as we’ve grown older, interests and friendships change. Our core gaming group has now been together for over 20 years, and while we wander from one gaming system to another (GURPS, DragonQuest, Munchkin, etc.) we have fun with it.
A few quick links
Our friends and GameMasters happen to have written GURPS For Dummies. You should buy a copy! (Shamless plug, royalites are a good thing.)
Information about some of our GURPS campaigns will likely show up here at some point.
Likewise, our DQ campaigns may show up here, along with links to resources for this gaming system.
