Attendees

Steve Johns Tactical School TF Instructor, tactical teaches recruits to solve complex military problems quickly, planning to execution. 24-30 year olds and 30-35. so 4-6 year and 8-10 year. He likes taking long walks on the beach and enjoys cuddly animmals. Stephen is in touch with his emotional side and believes in the healing powers of chrystals. He attends today as he is interested in tools to improve his personal hygine and his ability to draw powers from his many chrystals and books of elven law. Stephen is a Dungeons and Dragons enthusiast and owns his own 21 sided dice with which he battles warlocks and avitaurs. He is particuarly proud of the dice as it is topaz in colour and has a sparkle and diaffanous quality that is alluring to the eye. He has indeed used the dice to make a saving throw against a magic missile fired by a 15th level goblin or whatever you make saving throws against. He thinks D&D is a realistic life experience and uses many facits of the game in making real decisions.
