 ====== The 1987 Anniversary Adventure ======
+==== Invitation ====
+March 18, 1987
+By receipt of this notice, you are hereby acknowledged as a member (honorary or
+otherwise) of the Snell-McNary Hall Lounge Rats.  As a benefit of said
+membership, you are welcome to partake in the **Second Bi-Annual Lounge Rats
+Beach Trip** which will occur the weekend of April 11th and 12th.
+This year the motivating factor behind organization of this excursion is the
+return (albeit temporary) of a wayward member (one Mr. Roy Guisinger) to our
+fold.  Mr. Guisinger has been suffering in the wilds of Florida for several
+months now and is clearly ready for a re-introduction to the beauties of Oregon
+weather.  What better location than the balmy Oregon coast in the month of
+April?
+For those of you with a propensity for requiring exacting details (translation:
+Brian Bishop), I hereby dictate the parameters under which this year's
+expedition will be undertaken.
+Recently, my parents have acquired a comfortable second residence quite near
+Manzanita, Oregon.  Said residence is open to my immediate family and as the
+membership of our lounge rat organization has not in the past been known to
+wild, destructive parties, we have been approved for a temporary stay.  Said
+domicile has two real beds (one of which I claim host privileges to) and two
+fake beds.  Obviously, this is insufficient to accommodate our needs so you are
+encouraged to bring sleeping bags and/or blankets.
+The arrival of members on the morning of Saturday April 11th is encouraged.
+Activities will commence until the afternoon of Sunday the 12th at which point
+the house will be cleaned and abandoned by all members.
+For detailed instructions on how to navigate to said abode, I suggest that those
+who will be drivers should contact me at the below address as soon as possible.

+|  OFFICIAL INVITATION\\ TO THE\\ **SECOND ANNUAL**\\ JIM SEYMOUR\\ **ANNIVERSARY DUNGEON**  |
+It is with great pleasure that I formally announce my second annual
+__Anniversary Dungeon__.  Now, two years after the [[Dark Mage]] met his
+apparent end, and one year after he met his true, final end, I will run a
+fantasy adventure in celebration. The date shall coincide with the previously
+announced **Second Bi-Annual Lounge Rats Beach Trip** and will occur the evening
+of April 11th.
+This time, the game will be **Fantasy Hero** not Advanced Dungeons & Dragons.
+"What?" you shriek, "I won't be able to run my mega-death ultra-character that
+I've spent the last five years developing?!"  Wrong!  In order to properly
+emulate the established AD&D characters in my campaign, I have decided that this
+game will be played with **legal** Fantasy Hero characters built on a 300-point
+base.  Yes, I said **300**!  (By 300, I mean 300 plus Disadvantages.  However,
+since FH Disadvantages are not worth all that many points, the characters will
+most likely be no more than 325 points total).  This will allow established
+players to construct reasonable approximations of their AD&D characters as well
+as let players without established characters to build an interesting one-shot
+character.
+**If you are unfamiliar with the __Fantasy Hero__ game mechanics**, then you
+have two options: **1)** Do not play or **2)** Find a player who knows what they
+are talking about and ask him or her.  As for the first option, I would really
+like to say that I feel it to be unacceptable, but in all fairness this game has
+the potential for fifteen to twenty players and any excuse to cut this down is
+appreciated.  As for the second option, I of course am available to answer
+questions if you are Portland-based.  Those of you who are Corvallis-based
+should probably track down Chris Bezodis or Pete Norton.
+**You must tell me if you are interested in playing**.  If I do not receive an
+RSVP, then I cannot plan your character into the adventure.  If you are going to
+play, please send me a letter and tell me what character you are going to be
+using. Those without established characters (or those unfamiliar with the rules)
+can opt to let me provide you with a character, but this must be stated in your
+RSVP.
+|  **SPECIFIC RULE MODIFICATIONS AND ADDITIONS\\ (for the benefit of my players)**  |
+I will make one pass through the rule book and quickly jot down the appropriate
+rule changes that I have incorporated into my campaign so far.
+**__Skills__**:
+In addition to the **Brawling** skill, I have included the **Martial Arts**
+packages from Danger International.  Costs and effects are as listed in that
+game with no modifications.
+**Swimming** costs one point for the first inch, and two points for each
+additional inch.  (This is merely a clarification).
+**__Spell Effects__**:
+**Accuracy** and **Protection** can be considered the same effect, but the
+amounts in each cannot be changed unless the **Variable Results** advantage is
+used.  (Similar to PD and ED in a Shield).
+Extra-planar evil and good can be considered types for use with the **Detect
+Type** effect.  This will **not** work on a mortal creature (even orcs and
+elves), but will register on such things as demons.
+**Heal** may be applied to individual wounds if the Hit Location option is used.
+Thus, a 2d6 Heal could easily heal ten body points if they were spread out in
+five two-point wounds.
+The advantage **Full DCV while Flying** (as outlined in the monster section) is
+perfectly valid on the **Levitate** effect.
+The **Locate** effect is to be replaced by the Champions **Mind Scan** power.
+This allows a +1 to the roll for +3 points and does not require Line-of-Sight.
+**__Spell Modifiers__**:
+The **END Reserve** limitation recharges at a faster rate in my campaign.
+Instead of 3 hours and the +½ and +1 levels, the rate is 1 END per 10 minutes.
+At the +1½ level, the rate is 1 END per 3 hours and at +2 it is at 1 END per
+day.
+**Innate Power** is a new limitation, though it is worth no bonus (consider it
++0). The spell is considered **Independent**, but cannot be dispelled.
+The Champions advantages **Armor Piercing**, **Attack with No Normal Defense**,
+**Autofire**, and **Based on Ego Combat Value** may be used but only with
+permission from the GM!
+**__Miscellaneous__**:
+Creating Magic Items should be done the "long-hand" way.  In other words, for a
+magic sword, figure out the **Blast** effect with **Fast**, **Easy**, and **No
+Magic Roll** advantages and the **Material**, **Independent**, and **STR Min**
+limitations.  The last of these is not strictly +1.  Instead, it is figured from
+the **Melee Weapon Limitation** chart on Page 107.  A similar procedure applies
+to Armor, Missile weapons, Shields, and Scrolls.  I do not recommend
+constructing Potions as they are detailed on page 108.
+The **Follower** and **Restricted Magic** disadvantages may be used without a
+specific package deal associated with them.  They must make sense to the
+character conception, though, and are subject to GM veto.
