  13. Thanks for commenting on my post a Genevieve's Blog, Kristen!
    And my husband always played the Dungeon Master role. The only reason we eventually stopped playing was we moved from NM to NC. We tried it a few times with speakerphone, but it was never the same...
    Good luck with the contest!
