Remember TOCs? It's been a minute since they were a thing, but Jared Hoffman (aka @mugato) recently unearthed some pieces of 2e Trek history and sent them to me, so I wanted to share them here.

21 players from at least 6 different states ranging from the east coast (New
Jersey) to the deep south (Alabama) to the heartland (Iowa). Those were some heady days.

Look at this crowd! See any familiar faces?

Row 1 (Seated): Josh Sheets @prylardurden , Michael Mercer, Ray Linton @RayJ , [Unknown]

Row 2: Steve Rotz @YeahToast , Pat Bortz @bortz65 , Jared Hoffman @Mugato , Richard New @The Guardian , John Corbett @KillerB

Row 3: John Walchle @nalan bal , Tim Claypool, Sandy Barnabas @sandy , Rob Corbett @trekwars2000

Row 4: Rick Sollman, Tony Groh @gedca, Ken [last name unknown], Brian Sykes, Blake Mandalas @Devoras , Tobin Mellberg @Altoid , Chris Trevethan

If anyone can help me fill in the blanks I'd appreciate it!

Also, the one not pictured because he was taking the pictures is of course Charlie Plaine @MidnightLich . Definitely can't forget that guy!

If you have tournament reports from that era I'd love to read them.

Not many are still with us.

Tony Groh just played with us at GenCon today. He might appear at Worlds (he's in the Cincy area.)

First Unknown on the front row is my friend Michael Mercer who only played a handful of games before taking a road trip with me

Updated. Thanks, Ray!

Nice to see pics from the Decipher era. When it was a game.
