    Cost and Time for Training?

    yeah, iirc, another of the rules dealt with interruptions in training. meaning you had to start all over again. you trained the whole time. so no "I go to the market and buy a pig" until you were done.

    What D&Disms have you never liked?

    How often do you play?

    yeah back in my school days we gamed 3-4hr per session; 5 sessions per week; 50 weeks per year; for just shy of 11 years. and starting in 1999 we gamed pretty much every 2 weeks. but nowadays it is when we can. so it is down to about once a month.

    hee hee. we have this problem at work. not the issue of time. the issue is floor number. there was a decree basically that said no building could be taller than 8 stories. it was based on the original layout in 1951. so the first building was at street level. all the buildings since have been...

    Are you using battlemats or similar visual representations in your games?

    i've used minis since the beginning. but that just means pulling them from my wargames for use. way back we used protractors, tape measures, string, and rulers. since 1999 or so i've been using battle mats

    What D&Disms have you never liked?

    really though that is not a fault of LotR. it is a fault of the wargame origins. Chainmail in particular. same with alignment. it is sides in a battle. humans can be any side elf vs orc dwarf vs goblin gnome vs kobold which get carried over into the write ups for the races in the monster books.
