Huh - is that usual (for all you others)?

Thanks guys. Cappallan - you confirmed many expectations. How furnished do most places come? We've discussed visas but this is all still theoretical - I've interviewed but so have other people so we'll see what happens. Oh yeah - the office is in Malden, not Boston.

That would be ideal! All good to know - Melbourne is very expensive real estate wise - so much so that I think Boston may be cheaper. As a friend of mine said to me yesterday 'I thought San Francisco was expensive until I moved to Sydney'. That I didn't know and while it won't make a blind...

I currently live in Melbourne, Australia but yesterday had a job interview for an internal transfer to Boston. I have no idea how likely or unlikely this all is, but I applied more or less because I felt I ought to with no real expectation of it happening and now think I should do some thinking...

Are these available to buy online?

So I was planning to start a new WFRP game next week, but now suspect I'd like to run a Gary Gygax memorial game. But I've no time to prepare, so where can I get classic OD&D or AD&D modules? Ideally, they'd be free, but I'm happy to pay too. But to get them in time, I'd need electronic copies...

I, to my surprise, actually did cry after reading the Order of the Stick. I'm a gamer before I'm almost anything (except a father I think). It defines me in all sorts of ways. That, indirectly, is thanks to Gary Gygax. He was one of my earliest heroes and I'm sad he's gone.

I'm currently playing in a Harn game using modified 2e rules. Actually, it's not a Harnworld game, it's a homebrew setting. It's fun enough - the lack of anything except a "hit him" option in attach is a bit dull, but the choices for defenders are good. And I like the healing rules. But I can't...

Yeah, I'm sure the complete package of board games etc really appealed. As a gamer, I wish it had gone to GR, but that's not why GW would have made their decision.

Nice. And not something I ever expected to see!

So I was reading Wikipedia and it said it would be set in 1957 and I was sad because of the no Nazi thing. Then I realised it was set in the 50s in South America. Now I'm happy because there is guaranteed to be Nazis...

It was six months from the first post till the next at the beginning and only Horatio's dedication got us this. I mean, I don't really expect to see much more, but it can't hurt to try.

I'd even consider buying this just to have, if the sculpt is nice and I can get it for a reasonable price. I'm pretty sure that a minature of a Gargantuan Orcus is being made to sell to collectors as much as it's being made to be used in games.

I went to buy the GURPS basic books yesterday but they were out of stock at the LGS, so I've ordered them off Amazon with some other stuff...

Surely the point is that a) we were always promised what we got and b) Chase made amazing compelling art where as everything Tarantino has done since Jackie Brown has been tripe? What I never understood were the people who watched the Sopranos for the violence. There really wasn't enough of it...

Really? How come?

I'm going to give GURPS a go as well. I've been wanting a game which was reasonably crunchy, with a different magic style, deadly combat and the rules to let me model a fairly standard fantasy world (monsters, magic, outer planes etc). I'm going to get the Basic books, Fantasy and Magic, but...

That's probably going to be the clincher for me. 9 - 5 job? Check (plus occasional travel) Baby? Check Time poor is a pretty apt descriptor.

What does this mean?

What about the comments that HERO is simply much more complex than GURPS?
