It's been about two years since our GNOME (Guys Night of Monster Evisceration) has met. Our last adventure ended in a cliffhanger with a portion of the party nearly captured (at least, I think that's where we left it). My thought was what if we met one of the days that I was down there and picked up the game; however two years have passed for our characters as well. Each player comes up with some explanation of what happened to their character in that time (amnesia, prison time, life on the lamb, etc.), but they have been brought together again to correct some sort of wrong in the universe (they traveled to various worlds in a Stargate-like fashion). Perhaps they failed in the last mission we were playing and now have a chance to redeem themselves.
I don't know if we will get the chance to GNOME, but it was at least a pleasant daydream.
