[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 7632550, member: 996"] I don't think it implies that - you could be nostalgic for something you had oodles of fun with when you were younger, and that nostalgia could make up for not having so much fun with it, now, for instance. But, neither does it contradict the idea: never getting to have as much fun with something back in the day, can contribute to feeling nostalgic for it, and wanting to 'do it right this time.' Exactly. Nostalgia is a /good/ reason to get back to something and enjoy it! Well, if you've gamed together for a decade or decades, you might each have a very good idea how likely it is. That's a rules quirk I don't often hear brought up. Greatly ignored, I think. The rules in question were quite different and unintuitive from the rest of the combat system. IIRC, there was a free attack that spoiled an unarmed attack, even in 1e. Or maybe that was just if you squinted and held the book up to the light at the right angle. It was a long time ago. I expanded it out to shifting the turn cycle from rounds to segments when unarmed combat came into it, which had... consequences. Yet, 2e came out in '89 and it was hardly different at all. ::shrug:: [/QUOTE]
