[QUOTE="Messageboard Golem, post: 2014907, member: 18387"] Is it me guys or did cyric miss the point of hack master? I love this game because its a playable spoof of first edition\second edition AD&D. Cyric, the appendixes are there because the first edition PHB and DMG were almost half appendixes and the huge honor system makes fun of the fact oriental adventures introduced a complex honor systen for fantasy japan this honor stat was on every character sheet printed by TSR for years after the book was out of print. the knight errant (which btw is the funniest class in the world) spoofes the 12-16 year old min maxer that every gamer with at least fifteen years of experience has had to deal with. I've played AD&D from 1980 till 1989(hated second Ed.)than started in 1999 (loved 3rd Ed.)hack master is a fun throw back to the days of mountains of useless charts and weeks of looking up that obscure rule the gm killed the party with last game. but for the love of pete don't look at this game as a serious venue for role playing (I mean there is a freaking manual in the back on the proper care an feeding of dice..how to roll properly and wot not) cyric look up knights of the dinner table the comic ....... your review must be a joke there is no way possible that you actually think this is not a humorus exploration of how silly first and second Ed. AD&D really was. please say this was a big joke and I took the bate. [/QUOTE]
