We were tasked by a local mage to find a powerful anti-undead gauntlet. This gauntlet was buried in the ruins below the town where the mage lived. The interesting twist was that to get the gauntlet out of the ruins we were going to travel back in time to before the dungeon collapsed.
Our merry band of dwarves gathered around the magic time traveling bowl and completed the ceremony. We were whisked away back hundreds of years into the past. All was good until we started looking at each other and realized the reason we felt so different wasn't just the exertion of time travel but we were different people (thus different characters / classes). Dun dun DUNNNNN!
After making sure none of us had been changed into elves, thereby being forced to commit suicide, we began familiarizing ourselves with our new OD&D selves. We then spent the next several hours ten foot pole tapping our way around the first level of an old school D&D dungeon. I had a great time and very much look forward to further exploration of the second level.
It speaks as to how much 4th edition experience I have had that I felt more at home with my OD&D self. Now if we can only set our time bowl to a when in the late 1980's . . .
. . . who knows what will happen.
