Description:

"The door creaked and groaned in its hinges as the party slipped inside
the ancient doorway. The room was dusty and the air was stale. The room
was 10x10, stone walls, just enough space for a collossal desk, pushed up
against the far wall. The other three walls were busily occupied with
books of all shapes, sizes and craftsmanship. Finally, the party might get
paid a little for their troubles. It takes a few minutes, but soon the
party discovered they were not alone in the room. There, in the chair at
the desk in the center of the room sat a man, covered by the overgrowth of
hair eons ago forgotten, a beard tangled all about the room as he slept,
or so it seemed. Upon further inspection the party realized that the man
was not sleeping or dead, but READING. His eyes darted back and forth
across the pages of the book. The book in his grip is green, and inscribed
along the spine are the words "Gamehendge". The party edged closer to the
man. One of them reached out a shakey hand and prodded the man. Nothing.
They moved closer. A quick glance at the book is all it took. Suddenly,
new words sprang forth from the pages, appearing almost before they were
read. "Sorcery!" someone called out. It was too late. The party soon found
themselves unable to remove thier gaze from the tome. Each of them, one
way or another had at least glanced at the open pages, and each found a
different fasination. An unsteady moment, a feeling of falling, and the
party woke up in a field... to the north, a great river and beyond that a
forest, to the south, gently rolling hills, covered in watermelons of
various colors. The sun was shining blue..."

Welcome to Gamehendge in Watermelon Sugar. Prepare yourself for a wacky,
original co-adaption of some cult classic tales you've probably never
heard of. A sense of humor and a willingness to toss the rules is
required. Storytellers, wackos, eccentrics abound in this tale of
uncoordinated knights, powerhungry bankers, renagade accountants, robots,
dubious mushrooms, busty druidic maidens, and a doll that shoots flowers,
etc, etc. etc. This is a world of my design, and almost every square foot
is mapped out in graphic detail, just bear with my eccentricity if you
dare.

Send me a basic character sheet, classic AD&D style characters. We need a
well roumded party of about 5 good strong wacky wrighters. Start at lvl 3.
Turns about once a week or more, depending on participation.
