Wheel 'o' time.

Be happy you had such an overall good gaming experience. At least you didn't have to suffer through the usual hour and a half of dick jokes that sometimes preceed some of my gaming sessions.

Sumo wrestling, a minigame in one of the original dragon magazines. It was essentially rock paper scissors with dressing on it to look like sumo wrestling.

As long as the player is not allowed to change their action to get another bonus, it's not cheating-- for instance, if they simply added stuff wrong, or forgot they are subject to a +1 spell bonus from the cleric, that's not cheating, it's just double checking your numbers (however the GM vs...

I didn't even know they sold modules for Melee.

"Vote for Gygax!"

Somehow, though, I don't think Scorsese would be interested in directing Thompson's life story, what with all the dice-chucking, Star Trek t-shirts and miniature painting.

Does anyone remember Melee? They haven't produced it in about twenty years, but as newbie gamers many moons ago, we used to play this obsessively. The perfect pick-up-and-play combat game (by SJ no less) I posed this same question over at rpg.net and got a lot of "oooohs" and "aaaahhhs" as...

While a big fan of Paranoia XP, one criticism is that the secret societies are largely unchanged. I was confident that after so many years, they'd have some great new SS. Having played for fifteen years, we have about a dozen. On animalball we've started an article which describes a few we've...

This dude is wicked. The artwork is pretty cool too.
