Arguably they are the ORGINAL hex-crawling sandboxes. The Wilderlands was/is the only published fantasy setting I've ever run - I think it's brilliant, and it still strongly influences how I approach roleplaying games. Dude, old man is old - I don't think that will come as a great surprise to...

Leisure suits are standard attire.

Hi-yoooooo!

Of course, and I agree. Horses for courses. :)

As they do in Kriegsspiel as well, which only goes back as far as 1812.

Y'know, that's a really interesting question. My first refereeing experience was a dungeon I made on my own - in fact, I wouldn't run a published module for at least three or four years after I started playing. Shortly after that first experience, I was introduced to The First Fantasy...

It could be worse, Quickleaf - it could be the player's name.

I am running Flashing Blades for a group and I ran Boot Hill at a con. I played 1e AD&D and OD&D at a con and a game day, respectively.

I would not find anything entertaining in this, as a player or a referee, but I wouldn't worry about it too much - I'm in no way your target audience.

Rape, incest, and child abuse are my taboos. For whatever that's worth.

Flashing Blades, 1e AD&D, Boot Hill, and OD&D.

I saw a psychiatrist once. She had herself committed the next day. I'm not in here with you. You're in here with me.

Words to live by.
