    Games You Rarely See Played "Correctly"

    When we played CP2020 (and CP2013), we never saw them as divorced from the genre, nor did we read it as the only thing important and the only thing the game wanted you to focus on was the style. We were in high school, I'm not going to claim that we were doing deep dives into the philosophy and...

    Games You Rarely See Played "Correctly"

    Yes, but I would also say that's not all that there is in the cyberpunk genre (and I would argue it's not the main thrust / genesis of the literary genre). It's also a world about corporatocracy and the absolute crushing of everyone beneath it; it means a world where life is treated on the...

    Battletech Public Playtest Thread

    Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to give them a good read through yet. (And now I'm curious if they're similar to how Renegade Legion's Centurion incorporated Interceptor strafing and bombing runs...)

    As someone who loves 'taurs of a different sort (of the four-legged variety, including publishing 3e, 4e, and 5e supplements for them), I raise a toast to you and your joy of Minotaurs! :) Here's to a fine year for taurs of all types.

    General video game discussion

    Heh, aye. As I said, I seem to be the oddball out. :P One fun thing was if you played multiplayer MOO2 (over dial up to a friend's house, of course), and tried the alt-MOOLAH cheat, it would pop a dialogue box to let them know. (Yes, I tested it out ;))

    I have a Battlecat

    -nods- To this day I am grateful/amazed at my parents for what they had to do to scrimp and save to get that thing for me. 7.5 feet long! I could stand on it and it wouldn't break. A wonderous chunk of plastic. We ended up sliding a leftover sheet of cabinetry wood underneath it so that...

    I have a Battlecat

    I too remember the comics and their TF/GIJ crossovers. (No crossovers with Masters of the Universe that I am aware of...) Though I never really got into following the comics, the few that I read I appreciated the different tone and that they weren't just aping the cartoon.

    I have a Battlecat

    Excellent! I never had a lot of Transformers, but I have none of them now except for the cassettes (both the Deceptacon and Autobot ones).

    I have a Battlecat

    I noticed the excellent classic Optimus Prime behind your Battlecat. :) (Wonder if that would be a fun or just weird crossover...)

    General video game discussion

    Consider me one of the oddballs who preferred MOO1 to MOO2. I haven't played either in a number of years (mostly because I know if I do all my time will be forfeit) so maybe my view would shift, but at the time I felt MOO2 got too fiddly for not enough extra benefit. That said I did want to...

    I have a Battlecat

    Haha, I was more of a G I Joe and Transformers person than a MotU person. So didn't have the Battlecat, but I did luck out to have the USS Flagg. (Had... don't have it today. Alas? :P)

    For the players: Lovable drunkards nonetheless protect village. For the Me: Learning to run new system live! (Well, mostly live... I'd done a quick read through a month or so ago, but didn't get a chance to really review before the game so very much rough still. Legends in the Mist is the...
