Yesterday, I had planned for a quiet 4th of July.

Quite frankly, most of my days are quiet these days.

My friends were not about to let that happen. G-d bless them.

They showed up at my house most unexpectedly at 10 am. I wasn't even dressed. They brought food, drink, and were prepared for a day of fun, whether I was ready for it or not.

For the first time in more than two years, I got to play D2e. For more than 12 hours we played with the app and battled the demons of Terrinoth.

Tomorrow, I turn 75. This morning, I am thoroughly exhausted, mentally drained, and feeling ill.

It was the best **** birthday gift I have ever received in my life. I love my friends.

Happy birthday:-)!

75? wow! Congrats and bless you

Happy B-Day Young Man!

This was awesome to read! thanks for sharing!

Happy Birthday! This is just another example of why I really enjoy face to face board games - especially this game!

peace

Playing Descent in dressing gown has always been my dream!

Very nice of your friends, sounds like it was a ton of fun judging by your physical/mental state afterwards.

Be happy they didn't bring Twilight Imperium 3...

Happy birthday to you, may the attack dice give you great range and damage for the year to come!

Happy birthday.

May the blue die in your life always roll X less than 1 time in 6.

Happy birthday.

Xs usually make for a lot of good stories, though

Very nice! I hope to keep playing these types of games for many years to come! I am 41 now and have 3 boys ages 3,3 and 5 so they aren't quite ready for descent yet but soon!

Happy Birthday, sounds like a great day!!

Little late, but I also would like to wish you Happy Birthday. I wish you more days like that one.

Thank you to all for the birthday wishes.

I was brought up playing games ... all kinds. Board games, card games, etc. I did the same with my children. I think it provides incredible opportunities for teaching moments, improved critical thinking, and social interaction.

Quite frankly, I believe this is sorely missing in today's young people. They consider social interaction texting back and forth, even when standing/sitting right next to the person with whom they are communicating. And don't even get me started with the lack of critical thinking, performing math skills in their heads, etc.

I know, I am sounding old ... "oh, the good 'ole days ..."

Still, I think it has some merit.

Happy Birthday.
