Country Boy, City Girl Chapter 52 free porn video

Saturday morning. And I started my new routine by going out and trying to run 1 mile. Well, it turned out to be more like my jogging a few hundred yards, then walking for 100, then jogging again. But it was a start. Sgt. Corey had told me it would be easier if I could do at least 2 miles before I started boot camp, and I took him at his word.

I got back to my house and took a shower, then went downstairs to work on some notes I had for another adventure. At about 10 Holly came in and asked where my girlfriend was. “She had to go see her dad today, so she'll call me when she gets home.”

We chatted half the day, and when we had Lunch she got Jack on the phone and discussed plans for the evening. We decided a movie would be good, and I told Jack I would pick him up at 6. Then a few minutes later as I was washing the dishes my dad called. He and Holly talked for a few minutes, then she handed me the phone.

“OK, this is not your dad now, but your agent. Deana got her company to include you as a guest speaker on the final day of the convention. They want you to expand on your paper on, what was that dear? Yea, dual class characters. I hope you know what that means, because it’s Greek to me.

“The point is, I tried to throw in the same deal that you got from Mr. Cummings, but no dice. But I did get them to go in half on a suite just like you got last time. I will cover the other half, and I am still in talks with Mr. C on something for the convention. If he agrees, then we will get him to cover the other half and a little extra for other expenses. So start making plans for the con now, it’s only a couple of weeks away.”

I whooped, and as soon as I hung up I told Holly the news. She and I danced around for a moment, then she suddenly calmed down. “But Pete, what all will happen? I mean, what about Jack? That will mean 4 girls and just you, and I know for a fact I am not ready for the games that we usually play, and neither is Jack.

I went to the couch and she cuddled up next to me as I thought. Then I smiled. “OK, how about this. If it ends up just the 5 of us, you get the couch so the girls can have the other room, that is only fair, right?”

She nodded without hesitation. “Yea, they should get a room to themselves if they want. Not fair for me to be in there by myself. And I would not have to worry about walking in on them ‘en flagrante delicto’.”

“Strange, I thought it was ‘in cunnilingus’, but no matter.” And that got me the slap on the chest that I fully expected. “Anyways, why not ask Jack to come along? He might say yes, if nothing else than to spend a nice weekend with you. We will have you and Linda in one room, the girls in the other and Jack and I get the couch. Either way, this can work out, if you want it to baby. That way we can each spend some time with our lovers, and also be monitoring each other.”

”Pete, he’s not a lover yet.” Holly softly whispered.

“No, I know that. But he might be, right?” She nodded. “I actually meant it when I said he and I get the couch this time. We will just tell the girls to keep it cool, and that he is going to have to be let in on their secret if they agree to this, as over a weekend it will become obvious they are much more than just friends. Or we can also suggest to Mike that he comes along.”

“Oh, that will never work! Then you would have Peggy and Mandy both drawing into a shell, they are in no way ready to be open around him. And just call it a hunch, I have a feeling that he and Peggy will be dating soon.”

I raised my eyebrow at her in question, and she nodded. “She has dropped little hints a few times that she is mightily interested in him, and that Mandy understands. In fact, she said that Mandy has dropped a few hints that maybe they could share him like Linda and Kimmie share you, and she told her no, flat out.”

I felt the soda coming out my nose as I gasped when she said that. Drinking around Holly during conversations like this can be dangerous.

“How did Peggy know about that!” I exclaimed.

“Oh Pete, calm down. Of course Mandy knew, because, ahhh, she said when she hugged her sister goodnight a week or so back she saw lip gloss on her neck. And her face smelled of pussy. And since there was no way Linda could have licked herself, it had to be another. Which only leaves Kimmie. And of course she told Peggy about that. You should know we are all, what is it you say, ‘discreet’ around each other. I have seen those little baby lesbians eating each other out, so it is not like I had no idea what they do. And I have made out with each of them also, and I have a really good idea what is so fun about it. I have no interest in anything beyond what I have already tried, but it is sexy I have to admit. And they are such a cute couple.”

I remembered my talk with Kimmie, and then kissed Holly’s cheek. “Holly, I got a question for you. Linda let slip that we sometimes get involved in some sexy games with others while talking with Kimmie, but I managed to cut her off before she said any more. It was when talking about our boundaries among others, and Kimmie made a guess and said you were one of them. I basically gave her a ‘no comment’ response, saying I did not violate the trusts of others. And that I would ask if it was allowable to give out more information. So I am just going to leave it at that and pass the ball back to you.”

She went through several facial emotions at this, and stopped and thought. “Tell ya what Pete. Sometime next week I'll pull her to the side and have a talk with her. I assume I have your permission and Linda’s to discuss what we had done in the past?” I nodded and smiled.

“OK, I will then tell her as much as I am comfortable with. But I will have to clear things with Peggy and Mandy first, which considering it is Kimmie should not be a problem. The only person I will not ask permission of is Mr. Herpes, he can go fuck himself as far as I care.”

I gave an evil chuckle. “Well, since his toy slut had dumped him, he probably is. For some reason I think the rest of his senior year is going to be very lonely, since he is no longer in a band, and almost every girl must have seen that cold sore on his lip.”

We both laughed at that, and she snuggled into my arms and whispered “How in the hell did I find a best friend as great as you are Pete? When I am with you, I almost feel like I am one of the guys, and yet completely a woman. We talk about things I can only imagine guys do, but also things I would rarely even share with my best girl friends. I even tell you things that I would never say to Linda.”

“Well, I think because there is no sexual tension between us. Oh, there is a little, that is natural. But we both know it will only remain that and neither of us would ever push things further. I can hold you as you masturbate, and you know I will never do more than hold you. I am happy in my relationship with Linda, and I know you will never do anything to interfere with that.”

“Oh hell no! She is my best friend next to you, and like the k** sister I always wanted. And since Kimmie, she is finally more like an actual sister.”

“Oh?” was all I said, and she gave a long sigh.

“Well, on a few occasions in the last year or so, we have, errr, masturbated together. Never nude, reaching under clothes. Kinda like that time with her and Kimmie. Never doing more than holding hands, just pleasing ourselves next to each other. Then cuddling as we fell asleep. You ain’t mad, are you?”

“Naw, not at all. It was with you, and I trust that things would only be kept there. Other than being together it would really be no different than if you had done it in your bedroom and she had been in the bathroom.”

Linda called a short time later, and as I was talking to her on the phone I heard the first thunderclap. “Oh crap” I said softly, and went to look outside the window. Within the last 2 hours it had clouded up, and it was coming down fast. Well, there went our plans for the night.

I was telling Linda our plan was to go to the movies, but that apparently had just been canceled. “Pete, why not just stay in here?” Holly asked, and when I asked Linda she said that seemed like a great idea. I told her I would pick her up in an hour or so, and gave the phone to Holly so she could call Jack.

So I took out some fingersteaks I had prepared the week before and started thawing them out as Holly dashed out the door and headed home to get ready. About 30 minutes later I had just finished changing into jeans and a button-up shirt when there was a knock on the door. I went and opened it, and saw Linda there. She gave me a huge hug as I saw Rosie waving to us and driving away.

I brought her inside and we shared a kiss, and she told me her mom had to go do some shopping and dropped her off on the way. We kissed for a few more minutes, then went to look through my movie collection as I started to set the table. Holly showed up about 10 minutes later and they quickly went into the game room and shut the door!

Hey, that is my private inter sanctum, not theirs! I laughed softly and was about to knock on the door when there was a knock on the front door. I opened it and it was Jack, just taking off a baseball cap and shaking off the water. I had him come in and called out that he was there.

Holly came running out and gave him a huge hug and kiss. Linda came out more slowly, but with a big grin on her face. I kissed my baby again, and told them to go through the movies and decide something while I was cooking.

Thankfully fingersteaks are done quickly, and Jack was amazed. “Damn, I have never had this before. These are pretty good!” he said, finishing the last of his and working on the last of his fries.

“Yea, he made these for us before, and they are really good. He said it’s a common meal in Idaho.”

I nodded at Holly’s comment, adding “It takes a bit to make them, but the nice thing is that you can do up a large batch at once, and just freeze the rest. I do these every month or so. And because I know the girls like them, it seemed like a good choice tonight.”

Soon we were all settled on the couch, a girl in each lap as we watched first movie, which was 9 to 5. There was a moderate amount of smooching going on, and during a break between movies Holly d**g Jack into the game room, to “show him around” she said.

About 20 minutes later they were back, and the two girls went upstairs while I got the next movie ready. We had agreed on Airplane, and I was just waiting for the girls to return and then started it. About halfway though Holly said she was a bit cold, and I looked over. Yea, her nipples were straining against her blouse. Hmmm, I could have sworn that she had a bra on earlier. But being the gentleman I was I grabbed a blanket from the hall closet, then two as when I got back Linda said she was cold too.

I started to caress my baby’s belly, and she popped open the buttons on her blouse and guided my hand inside. So I spent the next few minutes nibbling on her neck and ear as my fingers played with her hard nipples. And it was obvious that her bra had also vanished sometime in the evening. And glancing at what was going on next to us, Holly and Jack were doing much the same thing.

The movie had ended and I was putting the blankets in the closet and Jack was rewinding the video when my dad came home. I introduced him to Jack, and told him that because of the weather we had just stayed in and watched movies.

We headed into the game room, and Holly was telling Jack about our convention in 2 weeks. He said it sounded interesting, and then Holly asked him if he wanted to join us. “I’m not sure about that, what all would happen?

“Well, this is a 3 day convention. But my presentation is Saturday evening, so it will be Friday through Sunday.”

“Presentation? You are giving a presentation at the convention?” Jack asked me, his voice a little confused.

“Oh yes!” Holly joined in. “Pete has been doing that for over a year now. At almost every convention now he either runs a game, or gives a presentation. Sometimes both. I have been there for almost every single one, and they are great. He even has some videos of them if you ever want to see.”

“Yea, I am doing a presentation, it is about a little known rule in the game that most do not know about or use. Each time it is usually something different. This time our expenses are mostly being picked up by a magazine I write for also.”

“Magazine, you are a published author too?”

”Yep, and game designer. They two go hand in hand. It gives me some pocket money, and gets me things like all expenses paid admissions to conventions with hotels.”

Holly then went on “Normally, it was 4 or 6 of us. My ex-asshole, and these two mostly. But sometimes Linda’s little sister, and her best friend also. We generally get 2 room suites, so 4 people get the rooms while the other two share a pull-out couch in the main lounge area. We generally spent most of the time in the convention though, but it was nice not having to try and drive all the way home each night.”

I looked at Jack, and he seemed to be thinking about it. “OK, I’ll go. But how will the sleeping arrangements work?”

”Oh, I'll sleep in one room with Holly” Linda chimed in. “My sister and Peggy will get the other room, you two share the couch in the lounge.” He thought about it a moment, then agreed.

Then after a long pause, Linda said “You don’t have a problem with 2 girls being together, do you?”

Jack laughed at this. “Linda, half of Hollywood seems to be gay. I got absolutely no problem with it, why?”

“Well, because Peggy is kind of my sister’s girlfriend. They are not real obvious about it, and it is more fun between friends than anything else. But you will probably see them cuddled or kissing when we are in the room, or hear them having sex after everybody goes to bed. It will be close quarters, so pretty much impossible to hide.”

He laughed again. “Yea, no problem. Been there before actually. But they are in the closet, so nobody else knows, right?”

I laughed at that. “No, it is not so much that they are in the closet as what Linda there said. I think they really are both mostly straight, but have kind of this girl crush on each other. Peggy has a thing for a guy in our group, and if given a chance either one of them will generally grab ahold of a guy if they can. I think that for each other, they see a way of release that is safe.”

By this time it was time to go, and Jack gave Holly a big kiss and headed out the door. Holly gave each of us a hug and kiss and walked home herself. I drove Linda home and kissed her before she went in, then I went home myself.

On Monday when I got home Linda went into the game room as I grabbed some sodas. I noticed the light on the answering machine was blinking, so hit play. It was a message from my dad, and he wanted me to call him. He answered, and told me that the arrangements for the convention were all done. Mr. Cummings was paying for the rest of the expenses, and throwing in a small cash bonus and picking up all other expenses. But he wanted me to run 2 games.

The first was an open game, covering the first 2 modules in the new beginners module that was being released at the con. The other was a private demonstration game of the new Kaos adventure. I called Mr. Cummings and made the final arrangements, telling him that this time we needed “2 stooges”, one of them being Linda and the other as Peggy playing Kaos. He was surprised I was not going to have Holly do it, but he understood that too many knew her as Kaos and it would make them realize that the positions were faked up too soon. “It can actually be played with only 1 stooge, but a good Kaos will make it play smoother.”

He said no problem, and told me the check would arrive in a day or so. I called Holly and Peggy and told them the news, and I then moved to the side as Linda called home and told Mandy. I went into the game room and started writing out some more ideas for my presentation. 2 games and a presentation, I had a full schedule ahead of me.

Linda came in, closing the door behind her. She knelt on the floor next to me, telling me to pull the chair out. I did, and was surprised when she reached down and unzipped my pants. “It’s ‘that time’, but you got something I want” was all she said, then took me into her mouth.

I leaned back and rested my hands on the table as she worked me over in her special way. First hard and fast, then slow and loving. Finally moaning on my cock as she stroked me hard with her hand, obviously not wanting to wait anymore. I moaned that I loved her as I came in her mouth, spurt after spurt being swallowed as quickly as I could give it to her.

We then moved to the couch for a little cuddling and kissing before we sat back at the table and did our homework. Then I took her home and spent the night with my dad, talking about our plans for the convention.

Mr. Cummings sent back a copy of the adventure after editing and internal playtesting and they made a few more minor changes, but nothing major. The note said it had already been accepted, and they just wanted a final playtest in the convention. Both to help build hype for a “new Kaos adventure”, and to see how well it was received.

All the parents signed off on the weekend, and on Friday we all left school early and at noon were getting on the freeway. The traffic was light since it was midday, and we were pulling up in front of the hotel by 2:30.

We got checked into the room, the 6 bottles of champagne were in the fridge, and everybody was glad to finally be here. But we did not hang out in the room long, we all headed down to the game floor. We all broke up into 3 pairs, with Holly taking Jack by the hand and showing him the various games being played. Peggy and Mandy headed off, and said they wanted to check out the amenities. Linda and I first went through the sales area, and as usual I signed a few dozen copies of games I had written previously. I got a few magazines I did not have, and some glow in the dark dice that went into my backpack. Linda picked up a few figures.

Heading back to the floor we decided to have a little fun, and I set up a game of Chaos in the Capital. I was able to find some that had never done it, and told them I was only doing the first part. And once again we soon had a crowd, and Linda just stood in the back and watched. And as usual, everybody groaned when they realized they had been tricked.

Deciding to go upstairs for a bit before dinner we were soon cuddled on the couch hugging and kissing. And at around 6 Peggy came in, with a robe around her and a towel covering her head. When we asked her where Mandy was, she said that she was still downstairs in the pool flirting with a guy. But she said it with a grin, so she was obviously not upset about it.

We told her we would meet her downstairs in 45 minutes, and went off to look for Mandy. Well, she was not hard to find, she was sitting next to this guy about her age, and from 30 yards away it was obvious they were flirting. We went up and she introduced us to Chris, and we told her we would be eating in about a half-hour. She reached out and squeezed his shoulder, and said she would meet him later on then went up to the room.

We wandered through the game rooms, and found Holly and Jack playing Risk in one of the game rooms. We gave them the same message and they tried to find 2 people to take over for them (Holly had South America locked up and was pushing north into North America, and Jack had Africa and part of Europe and Asia in his possession). They found 2 people to take their place and we all headed to wait for the girls.

“Dude, I thought this would all be D&D and stuff. They have a ton of board games. Risk, Axis and Allies, Diplomacy, and a ton of others as well. I am really glad I came now, this has been a blast!”

I pulled out the schedule I had shoved in my pocket when we arrived, and told him to check out the tournaments and topics of other speeches. He really got stoked over that. Hmmm, I have quite a few board games, but the girls rarely play them other than Dungeon. Maybe I should expand game nights a bit.

At dinner, we heard all about Chris. He lived in Glendale, and was there with his older brother for the convention. We heard all about how cute he was, how nice he was, how funny he was, and all this and that he was all that. Peggy was grinning along with Holly and Linda, and Jack and I talked about the board games I had.

When we were done eating Mandy took off like a bat out of hell, and we all chuckled as I reminded her the rule about no guests in the room without Linda or I present, and no going to the rooms of anybody else without Linda, Holly or I being present. And to be back in the room by 11. Peggy decided to wander the game area a bit, and we passed her later in a game of D&D. We spent 2 hours mostly wandering and looking at the games, and I watched a large Roman army and Viking one with over 1,000 led figures on each side doing battle.

It was kind of interesting, but when they said this engagement would take about 6 hours I knew it was not the game for me. I was not real interested in a game that took that long for one battle, and could not be packed up and moved if you needed to stop for the night.

Linda squeezed my hand and bumped her hip into mine, and taking the hint we headed up to the room. And I should not have been surprised when I heard a squawk when I opened the door. I caught a glimpse of a topless Holly running into her bedroom, and a very red faced Jack sitting on the couch.

“Well, I see we're not the only thing thinking about that” Linda chuckled, and headed in to talk with Holly. I sat next to Jack and told him not to worry, next time we would knock and wait about 10 seconds before we came in.

He said that sounded like a good idea, and they would do the same. A few minutes later the girls came back out and cuddled into our laps and gave us each a kiss, then we just cuddled and talked. At about 10:30 Peggy came in, and then at 10:50 Mandy came in.

Linda giggled and a moment later so did Holly. Peggy made tsk-tsk noises at her and wagged her finger, and Mandy looked very confused. Peggy went up and ran her finger along her neck, and said “Mands, did you know you have a hickey?” She turned beat red and squawked and ran into the bedroom. This seemed to be a night for girls squawking and running into bedrooms.

Peggy went to follow her and I told her to be back in 10, I was about to break out the champagne. Holly and Linda went into their bedroom and changed into long Ts for sleeping and joined us just as the girls did.

Peggy and Mandy were cuddled together on one couch, and the Jack and Holly on the other one as I broke out the first 3 bottles and poured drinks for everybody. We just cuddled and talked for about 20 minutes, then the younger girls said they were heading off to bed.

Holly looked at Linda and I, and said “Jack and I want to borrow the bedroom for a bit, come and knock on the door at 1 sis?” she said, and we both waved to them as they headed in. Probably to continue what we had interrupted earlier.

We did some lovely kissing and hugging and caressing, but knew not to get carried away as we could be walked in on at any moment. But it was still very nice. And at 1 Linda knocked on the door and I pulled out the couches and made them into beds for Jack and I.

I should not have been surprised when in the middle of the night Linda crawled into bed and cuddled with me. We both fell quickly asleep but it was a bit of a surprise to Jack when we woke up and saw us spooning on the other couch.

“Dude, sorry if I'm getting in the way or anything.”

”Naw,” I said. “We rarely get to sleep together like this. And by sleep I mean sleep. We have plenty of chances to be alone, but it is rare we can spend all night just holding each other.”

Linda agreed, saying “I love waking up and having Pete here holding me. It's the best way to wake up ever.” She then gave me a kiss and headed into her bedroom to get ready for the day. I started the coffee and knocked on the other door saying we would be heading down to breakfast in an hour.

“Dude, you got a sweet setup here” Jack said as we sipped our coffee and waited for the girls. “A 2 room suite, meals paid for, and you get to play games all day and even get paid for it!”

I told him it was, but also a lot of work. “I probably on average put in 6 to 12 hours or more a week on adventures, articles, and other things that make this possible. But it’s worth it, as it gives us weekends away from everything. Kind of like a mini-vacation.”

When the girls came out I reminded them all that I was doing the public exhibition at 12:30 today, and the private one at 7. We would be having lunch early at 11, and they all said they would be there. And I should not have been surprised when while passing through the miniatures room a little later I saw Mike. Linda and I hung out with him for a bit, and he said he was only down for the day. I kept him tied up as Linda took off for a few, and shortly came back with Peggy. She gave him a big hug, and I reminded her once again that I needed her for the game at 7, and Mike blushed a bit as she took his hand in hers and led him off to explore a bit more.

At 11 we all met up and had a good lunch, Mike joining us of course. The girls were all glad to see him, and I asked him if he wanted to crash with us and catch tomorrow also. He said he would call his parents but it should not be a problem, and he and Peggy soon took off again.

Once we finished lunch I went to meet Mr. Cummings, and Jack watched as I started to set up for the exhibition. I explained to him that this was a public exhibition of a module I wrote that is being released tonight. And at 12:15 the girls were all in place, as well as Chris and Mike.

After saying that this was the first 2 of a book of 20 modules designed to take a party from Level 1 to 6-8, the selected gamers took their seats and everybody watched. As I had stated, we were finished in a little under 2 hours, and had completed both modules. Everybody loved it, and as usual I spent the next half hour signing copies and talking to fans.

Fans. I realized that many of those coming up I had met at previous conventions, and they loved that I was writing beginner modules. This was the first time I realized I was gathering a following, with people coming up to me on the floor and asking what I was doing next, and even giving suggestions for future adventures. It was during the maybe 6th time that happened that I realized that the girl chatting with me was trying to flirt. And thankfully Linda also noticed, and quickly left the conversation she was in to come up next to me and take my hand in hers. Thankfully the girl got the hint at how possessive Linda was and how I did not flirt back and headed off. Then we went to hit the floor for a bit more, and at around 5 we started looking for everybody else.

Jack and Holly were easy to find, they were playing Diplomacy. Finally we found Mandy sitting in the lap of Chris exchanging kisses by the pool area, and then we finally found Peggy pressed into a corner in the empty arcade room, making out with Mike.

Once dinner was finished we split up again, and Linda joined Jack and Holly as I reminded the girls they had to be at the test room before 6:30. I told Jack and Mike they could join us as observers, and they said they would.

The exhibition went off just as planned. Linda was in perfect form, and Peggy was playing the ditzy Valley Elf Kaos to perfection. And Linda had been flirting with the guy playing the fighter that sat next to her, even caressing his arm a few times. But partway through after passing her one of the notes to randomly roll a die she handed it back saying that she loved me. Sylvan died on cue, and they all got upset at this. The guy she had been flirting with even tried to console her and vowed vengeance. They did not notice that Sylvan wore the symbol of the Thieves Guild, and they attacked the guild they then found the book describing how she was a member and was trying to kill the party. And the other players were flabbergasted.

Right as I passed out the critique sheets Linda came and sat in my lap and gave me a huge kiss, and everybody laughed. The guy she had flirted with laughed the loudest. “I should have known something was up, I thought I recognized her from other conventions!”

Finally I gave everything to Mr. Cummings, and he said he was very happy with the test. “That worked out just as we had thought it would, expect it to be on shelves before Christmas Pete. And you are right, having an experienced 'Kaos' should be suggested, but in no way required.” And we shook hands and headed off.

Whew, finally done for the night! We went to the club and drank sodas and danced. All 8 of us. I saw Peggy out of the corner of my eye during a slow dance as she pulled Mike tight against her and swayed with him, as I saw Mandy and Chris pressed tight together a few feet away from them. Finally at 10:30 I told everybody we were heading up and champagne was available in 30 minutes. And when asked I said that included Chris if he wanted to join us.

As we drank the final bottles each guy had a girl in his lap. And there was a little kissing going on until right before midnight, when Chris took off and it was just the 7 of us. I converted the couches into beds, and Mike set up a blanket and pillow on the floor. A short time later we kissed our girlfriends goodnight and everybody drifted off to sleep.

It was the last day of the con, and once we finished breakfast we went upstairs to pack. Soon all the luggage was in my truck, except for Peggy’s, which was in Mike’s. And on time I started to give my presentation. And it was a big hit! I could see a lot of people nodding as I described how the Dual Class rule could be used to make characters that often had a short lifespan very survivable. The idea of a Cleric turned fighter as a kind of “Paladin Light” of any alignment really got their interest, as did having a Ranger convert to being a Druid (or the reverse).

Of course they really liked the idea that started it all, with a 4th or 5th level fighter becoming a mage. “This is what actually inspired me to write this article, but I can not take all the credit for it. A friend of mine, Mike Kwong actually thought up the idea and I just ran with it. Mike, please stand up for a second so everybody can see your royal nerdiness!” After a few nudges from Peggy he did indeed stand and he got a round of applause.

I then explained how he had pulled this on me when he joined a campaign already in progress. The party was weak in magic, but even a level 6 mage can die all too easily with a maximum of only 36 hit points. But by making it a 6th level fighter that had changed classes to a first level mage, he could have a maximum of 84 hit points.

“And because the earliest levels move up so fast, about the time the rest of the party is hitting 8th or 9th level, he will be 6th or 7th. And able to use his entire fighter abilities short of armor.”

I then went on about modifications as a DM that should be considered, like armor. I told them that I had decided that a leather vest with cloth armor under would be allowed, as it had no metal and did not restrict the movements once they passed the level of fighter. “But as a DM, that is really entirely up to you. I simply made the decision that since leather chest and cloth arms are so light that for an experienced fighter they would not restrict their armor use. I simply do not allow him to use anything more or then they have to roll for spell failure.”

I then expanded on other things I had thought of after I had written the article. “For example, if you read the Handbook, it says only humans can be dual class. Yet a half-elf could be a Bard. And by definition, a Bard is a dual class character. Therefore I have expanded this to include the 2 'half human' races of half-elf and half-orc. Also, another class that can benefit from this is the monk. Imagine a 7th level monk, that had been a 6th level fighter. We have not played that yet, but that might actually become a formidable warrior in itself, and not the joke class it is now.”

The applause when the presentation ended was great, and dad and Deana came up to congratulate me as I left the stage. “Peter, that was great! You even brought up a few combinations that were not even in your original article.”

“Well yea, I've had a few more weeks to think about it and the idea of a Ranger-Druid or Druid-Ranger seemed like a natural as well. Also the way that they would gain levels really quick because of the newer experience requirements mean they will quickly only be a little bit behind the other characters. N The same with the other races and monk. I bet in future conventions we will see this done a lot more often than it had been done before.”

Everybody was stoked and chatting on the way home. But it was only the 5 of us. Mandy was asking if we could go to Moonlight on Saturday so she could meet up with Chris again, and of course we all agreed. It was dark by the time I got back to The Valley, and started dropping everybody off. First Jack, then Linda and Mandy. Finally Holly and I were chatting in the back yard drinking a soda as we chatted.

“Pete, this was a great weekend. Jack is still not real interested in role-playing games, but we learned we both share a love of board games. So maybe once a month we can make game night about board games instead.”

I told her that was not a problem, we could do that the last or first Wednesday of the month. And she was amazed at how quickly Peggy had finally hooked Mike, and even Mandy seemed to finally have a guy.

“Well, I know Peggy has been after him for a while now, he just never knew it. And once Mandy knew Peggy was soon going to be ending their special relationship she wasted no time in getting a guy of her own. I really was right when I said they were more straight than lesbian.”

“Yea, you called that right for sure. And Jack really loved being with us all. He got 2 more games, and I will probably be learning them soon as will the rest of us. But next week, I think he and I are going out alone on Friday night. We will still join you all on Saturday at Moonlight, he said he had never been there before. So it should be a lot of fun.”

“Yea. Peggy is going to bring Mandy and Mike, Chris is going to meet us there. Are you and Jack gonna drive there with us, or just meet us there?”

”We might as well go with you two. And it only makes sense really, since Linda and I live so close to you. Jack said he will meet us here before we go.”

“That’s fine with me,” I said, and gave her a hug as she got up and went home.
