Gee, I dunno. Maybe being told I'm part of a flock of sheep becuase I enjoy spending time with my family is what put me and others off. Keep shucking the blame off to others, it will get you far in life.

C'mon dude. d20 is not my favorite family of systems, but that is such a sweeping generalization (even for a messageboard) that I can only conclude you are trolling. Get the acid and fire boys.......

Hope she recovers quickly and can enjoy some of the holidays with you and the BOZette. Merry Christmas to you and your family, Boz.

Your X-Mas wish is granted! I just told my kids that some people in the world are complete killjoys, and that Santa will keep coming to visit them as long as they are good children and beleive in him. :)

:p Fixed. :lol:

I think it's wonderful that we can all spend Christmas the way we see fit. You wallow around in a pile of cheetoes and self-pity. I enjoy the time with my family, especially the delight in my children's eyes when they see what Santa has left for them. Somehow, I think we all get what we...

ADVENT is the one true text adventure game. All others are pale imitations of the real thing.

Do you have Thieve's World and Shadowspawn's Guide to Sanctuary yet? I'm a persnickety curmudgeon, and I like them both.

I picked up a couple of starter packs from Half-Priced Books, and I got a gibbering mouther. I think it's pretty cool.

It's more of an aftertaste. ;)

Dunno. Didn't play 2e at all. But I can tell you that I've played in some fabulously flavored 3e, 1e, and B/X games, and played in real dogs in each of those systems. I think it has more to do with the DM and players than the ruleset or setting.

Thank you Phil!! E-mail sent.

<grognard voice> Son, your party needs some henchman and/or hirelings. Back in the old days, when we had to carve our own dice, it was common for the PCs to have a posse following them around to carry torches, etc... </grognard voice> :D

Ah, but see, that's one reason why I prefer GH over FR. I want a foundation to work on, not a complete backdrop. Frankly, outside the '80 Folio and the '83 boxed set, I've not used much of the GH material, either. Even taking just one of the FR boxed sets or the 3.0 FRCS book, it's way more...

Well, there were only 2 starter boxes at the store I was in, so don't be too bummed.

They were sitting by table right by the front door, within sight of the register. Also, I was incorrect, I picked them up at HPB on 86th on the NW side of Indy. I'll edit the other post.

I picked up 2 D&D Miniature Game starter boxes at the Half-Priced Books on 86th on the NW side of Indy monday night. The dude running the register asked, "Whooooooah! Where'd you find those?!?!?"

My group, except for one cheapskate, is very generous. They always bring way too much food, and I end up tossing some of it before the next game night rolls around. Not only that, they all chipped in $25 and gave me $125 total for X-mas to put toward my GenCon fund for next summer. So, werk...

I've got V.5, and have played some solo adventures. I'm most picking it up for the same reason I always buy some dice off of Lou Zocchi at GenCon: I like to see the old guard keep on keeping on. That, and I think it will be a good starter RPG when my boys get a little older.

Somewhere, in one of the "Ask Gary" threads, I asked if he thought RPGs would have developed without D&D, specifically asking about Traveller. He said that Miller had told him he used D&D as a model, so who really knows?
