This note from Sally & Brent was rather mangled -- apparently the "quoted
printable" encoding didn't mix with the font size setting -- so this is the
plain-text version instead...

Once upon a time, in the fair city of Auckland, there was a DragonQuest
campaign started by the one called Robert Leyland.  After he departed these
fair shores, his disciple, Jeff Leddra assumed the mantle of godhood to keep
the campaign alive.  Before long players were flocking to join the party, and
even the addition of a second GM, in the form of Pete Simunovich, could not
cope with the influx.  Moreover, there were two other DragonQuest campaigns,
mastered by Mike "MTB" Young, and Gary Jackson, which were eager to join the
fray.

So, in the winter of '82, the three campaigns melded to form a truly multi-GM
campaign. Thus, twenty-one years ago, the inaugural meeting was held for The
Seagate Adventurers' Guild.

We now call upon all players from the campaign, past and present, to come
together to celebrate the fantastical achievement of such a long-lived
institution.

    "Fantasy role playing, as a way to spend one's leisure time, has come of
    age in the last five years. Since the days when a small group of devoted
    die-hards first uncovered an enjoyable fantasy role-playing game, the idea
    has attracted an ever-growing body of people whose divergent tastes demand
    innovative and original new works. Thus, enter DragonQuest."
