Welcome to the dark side!

Well, I am up for playing whatever. I would prefer to play something that wouldn't require me to buy any new rules. I'm a little concerned about the low-magic fantasy ideas we have tossed around before. I'm really not that enthused about a fantasy world with virtually no mages, priests or magic...

Was talking with Jason and Dave last night. We all agreed that Conan would be the second choice for all of us. So even though it is not represented at all in this vote, it is still quite popular with us. I voted for superheroes (which I'm assuming I would be running) but I still think we should...

Frankly, I don't think I can pick between these three games/genres. I could easily see a year where we play each game for 3-4 sessions and then another for 3-4 sessions. Long enough to get a substantial adventure completed and some character growth, then something else for a month and a half of...

Well, I love the stories too. Not saying I don't guys. I'm just saying that it is entirely possible to come back to a campaign after a hiatus and dive back in with the same characters. I mean, I waited years between Star Wars episodes (even if the last three DID suck,) a year between LOTR movies...

Freedom!

Well, I assumed we would be looking at the top few choices as campaigns to play in the coming year. I certainly didn't think it was THE ONLY game we were going to play in the coming year. It seems to me that RPG campaigns work in natural highs and lows. When we reach a good breaking point, we...

As always, I think the D&D class/level structure is a completely false and antiquated system. It is a straitjacket that was imposed in the first RPG and has only been enforced by D20/3rd Edition. I would much rather play in a classless system, such as Hero or BESM's Tri-Stat. All that being...

And can I say, for the record, how happy I would be if we could get Bob, Craig, Allen and Chris playing with the group again regularly. And Mark involved at all? Has anyone spoken to Allen recently? Is he even in town?

Hmm. That means that of me, Jason and Dave, I have the better attendance?!? I find that SO hard to believe but I'll take it. I RULE!!!

Just to add a bit and clarify Vince's description, Grim Tales is based on the D20 Modern open rules, rather than the D&D/D20 rules. So instead of having a fighter, magic-user or thief, you would have a "strong hero" or "smart hero" or "fast hero" or what have you. In addition to skills and...

Sure has been recently! Myself included.

As a wise man recently said to me, errr, wrote to me, most of the time we can't get everyone together anyway. So having too many players would only be a problem rarely, since normally, if we had seven players only 3.5 could show up on any given day anyway. When I reduced the group size down to...

I think I made a huge mistake when I tried to break my D&D group up into two groups 'cause it got too large. That's probably why it has been on hiatus so long. Sure, the group was so big it was unwieldy and hard to get everyone together at once, but everyone seemed to be having a good time...

Well, I voted for D&D Inzeladun, even though I have only played one session in Inzeladun. Why would I prefer it over Iron Heroes or Grim Tales? 1) I wouldn't have to buy another book or learn another set of D20 sub rules. I mean, I wouldn't HAVE to buy the book whatever system we chose, but I...

Dave and Jason would be six and I'm pretty sure both of them are still interested in a regular game (or as regular as Dave can make it.)

I'd drop him a line or e-mail just to let him know. Then you don't have to take the chance on rejection. I'm sure it would make his holidays to hear from an old student. Speaking of which, I came across my high school Web site and I was absolutely stunned to see how many of my old teachers are...

And Dave has a whole LIBRARY of books to organize! Isn't he lucky!?! (Hey chachi, good to see you are alive too.)

Which reminds me Vince, in my last weekend burst of house arranging, I came across the Planescape stuff you loaned me a while back. I forgot I even had them. I never realized I was such a mooch, but I found an awful lot of games, movies, books and what have you that I need to return to people.

Putting my books in place, helps me to settle my mind, I think. Makes me feel like there is SOMETHING in my life with some semblance of order to it. The house may be a mess, but I can put my finger on any gaming book I own in 15 seconds or so. Now I just need to buy enough shelving to get all...
