I've never played any of these games, and I really have no idea what it's all about. Are these games all chapters in some grander story arc? Or are they just tied together by some other common element(s)? What else is this franchise into? I seem to remember an anime movie a while back.... The...

I just went looking for this after reading your post. Unfortunately, it looks like this book is not only out of print but a bit difficult to get. I only found one copy on ebay, at $51 with two days to go. NobleKnight is selling it for $50 too. Too rich for my blood at the moment. :\ Carl

Yeah, Thanks. I just caught up on 20 years of gaming history! Carl

This is fascinating stuff. I wasn't particularly familiar with the concept before reading the shades of grey link. It seems that a number of the more "serious" micronations are grounded in the concept that the territorial nation-state is becoming a anachronism and that people should be able to...

Nah, what would he know about anything? ;) Carl

Yes, that is exactly what I meant. Carl

As long as we're on this topic, can somebody differentiate between the various editions and their individual traits? I played the original when it first came out, and have been lately dabbling in the d20 version, but most of the stuff in between is a mystery to me. Carl

I agree. I struggled desparately with math in high school and avoided it in college, mostly because nobody could explain what it meant in the real world. It was all just theory and problems; there was absolutely no discussion of how any of this could be used. But I later mastered trig in the...

This is the absolute truth. We've got a Dave & Buster's in our local mall, and it turned my otherwise-non-gaming wife into a FPS junkie. I love Dave & Buster's. www.daveandbusters.com Carl

In addition to years spent gaming, I'd like to see reviewers' ages included in the bios.

I liked Liveship Traders. It had some great ideas, but KB is right; Hobb doesn't pull punches with her lead characters. If you're used to heroes escaping danger in the nick of time, it can be surprising and a little depressing to see her characters beat down by the world around them. Nor does...

That's great. What IS the status of the Watchmen movie project? Carl

Death Test for Melee/Wizard was the first published module I ever played -- albeit solo! Those MicroQuests were great fun. B1 for D&D was the first I ever ran. Carl

B1 In Search of the Unknown

So many. Here's a few that come immediately to mind: Bladerunner: The style, the tone, the pacing, the imagery -- it all took my breath away. I've seen it dozens of times, and I'm still completely immersed in it every time I watch it. Captain Blood: I first saw this when I was a real little...

I became a Tarzan junkie at a very early age. I don't even remember what originally drew me to it, but I'd read 'em all by the time I was 12. The phenomenon worried my mother a bit, accompanied as it was by the need to climb to the very tops of all the biggest trees I could find. Tarzan lead...

I'm more curious to know whether their market studies are indicating any significant shift the demographics accompanying the 15-percent increase. Who are these people? Is the number of female players proportionally on the rise? Are younger players finding the game? Or is a lot of the growth...

Awesome recovery time! Hey! Bravo, kudos, thumbs-up and general applause to the Enworld hosts! Hit by a cat 3 hurricane Monday morning and back online the next day! Wow. That's just awesome. I really didn't expect to see this site for at least another couple days. Thanks. Carl

Oh yeah, some of that is sounding familiar, now that you mention it.... Sorry about that. :o Well, count me in for some bagels and cream cheese. Carl

Hey Mavrick! If you've mentioned it already in this thread, I didn't notice, but is there anything particular folks can bring in the food department? Carl
