[QUOTE="Fiery James, post: 165562, member: 625"] [b]I blame everything on RangerWickett! :)[/b] Wow, I read the first page when this thread started, and then come back to find 5-pages of lots of stuff going on (would have read sooner, but try to get on the boards during the day!) First off, I blame everything on Fiery Mike! ;) LOL Second, as a person involved in the industry (although I'm just in Room 2A of the vast 36-level RPG-Industry dungeon), I've got to say: How can people [I]not[/I] be playing this game? Really? I mean, I do understand how they can not play, but hey - they're missing out. I love it! It's great! And, it's nice to get together with the boys! Do the FDP gang play once a week? No - but we all wish we did. I'd love to be able to get together that often. We're actually working on a Play-By-Post game, just to keep our jones in check. One of the best things about this industry is this: Trading stuff with other companies. And seeing all of the other stuff makes me want to play more! We did some fun mix-n-match with Atlas Games' En Route and Beyond the Veil (They couldn't figure out what the hell Monte was doing with that cow in there!) Plus, we often play "bits" - either single encounters, or sections of an adventure we're working on. I was all set up to run some CoC this past week, but we went long discussing business - obviously we've got a lot going on in the last while. Anyway, back to my point - those who aren't playing are really missing out. For me, this is like a second "Golden Age" of D&D, and is quickly ranking right up there with the days that we used to play 3 or 4 times a week! Blah blah blah..... - James (really!) [/QUOTE]
