[QUOTE="bloodtide, post: 9183087, member: 6684958"] As stated in places like the old timers thread, things were different a couple generations ago. Back in the Time Before Time, we had no internet or cell phones. And we had few gaming stores. Sure some people lived in big cities right next to game stores......but that was not true for of most of the country. And even making the huge trek to a game store was often pointless: they often did not have anything. And when they did have something....prices would be sky high. The "Wizard and evil minions" pack cost all the money in the world. But the bag of DFC Dragonriders of the Styx Figures was only $3 at the flea market and has wizards and minions(and the infamous faceless nagas). Then, of course, you sit and say "gosh wish they could publish X", but they would not....ever. So...you had to make your own. I have dozens of adventures written on Yellow Legal Pads (they were only 5 cents at D&K Store) with maps drawn on Everready Battery Company Graph Paper(my friends dad worked there and gave me a whole box of graph paper pads). And then down the years I have made more and more. [/QUOTE]
