Heh...Patryn of Elvenshae said:Err, yeah, sorry about that. I could have been clearer.
G-little-g constantly harps about how I (and others) are not actually playing D&D with my (and our) friends in every thread in which it arises. Given that I'd come to ask for a little more clarification on your own views, it was something I really didn't need to be reminded of.
I thought you were rallying to his defense - which on the surface made sense, given the disgust you'd previously mentioned.
Sorry again for the confusion!
In all, I view all gamers as fellows.
Quite!med stud said:Heh we had those stick wars as well but we added fire wood as throwing weapons. One team had their fortress up a steep cliffside (maybe 15' high) and the other side stormed up. It ended when one of us got a stick 1" under the eye and another one got unconcious from another stick.
That instant correct decision indeed saved the party, for surely most would have dies instantly otherwise. good showDeogolf said:But, of course, master! Whatever you say!
As it was one of my crowning moments in the adventure, I can pat myself on the back for that one!!

Back in chicago in the early 1940's we used wooden swords and garbage can or peach crate lits reinforced with cardboard shields to have "wars" against the "enemy gang" that were at the north end of the long alley that ran in an L-shape on the 4100 block of Kenmore Avenue. Out gang was in the middle of the block on both sides of the streets--the Pirates on my side, the east, the Indians across the way. Of course we'd team up is any "strangers" came around

My older brother was in high school, had some big friends, Jack Markam being the largest at around 6'4" and near 300 pounds. when cleaning the basement as was his usual Saturday chore, my brother put Jack in my old baby carriage and wrecked it, so mother had him take it out to the trash. thus came into possession our War Wagon.
I had gleaned a rug pole from the alley, that being about 9' long and around 2" diameter...a marvelout lance! I was elected to ride in the sprung baby carriage, and armed with the lance, two of my pals serving as the team pushing the vehicle, and another couple of stalwartf flanking it to right and left, we forayed up to the dogleg in the alley where the "enemy kids" held sway. They spotted us porming up, got their shields, swords and rocks ready, and formed up to drive us away. The war wagon was too much for them, though. We were at least 50' from them and charging when the lot of them broke and ran for it.
That bloodless defeat ended their challenging our right to ranging the alley even though the war wagon was soon gone with the trash pickup and the mighty lance lost who knows where.
The defeated forces made the circular park across from St. Mary's of the Lake their new domain, but they didn't challenge us in armed combat again
The year after that we got into a serious fracas with a big gang of boys from further north, there were at least 30 of them to out dozen, but that's a whole different story, and the main reason my father decided to move from Chicago
Cheers,

Since in the discussions you remember you and others pointed out how much you didn't like "old" D&D and had left the game and only "returned" for "3e," I can't help but point out (by way of clarification) that "3e" and "3.5e" are not D&D, but part of the d20 System rules set. I don't understand why it upsets you so much.Patryn of Elvenshae said:
