[QUOTE="JeffB, post: 4463176, member: 518"] My sub had lapsed right before time ILOJ came out, unfortunately. I remember Erik Mona getting a TON of flak about the inclusion of the poly mini games and it made for some big arguments here on ENWORLD. I do believe that I gave him a bit of flak as well re: the mini games. The general gist of the arguments of those who were complaining was that the mini games made less room for adventures. Erik fought hard in favor of them. I actually enjoyed several of them-The D20 pulp game, for example. However there were a few really silly ones- There was one that was like Scooby Doo Ghost Hunters and another like Dukes of Hazzard meets Smokey and the Bandit...those were the ones that got my (and I suspect most people's) goat.If they could have kept out the silliness, I think there would have been much less complaining, though Erik may or may not agree. All in all those were great times for D&D, and the mags. In retrospect, I feel we were in a much better position then, than we are now (and I'm a 4E fan!) ackkk..hijacked my own thread :rant: [/QUOTE]
