Rules review of Dungeons and Dragons: a "mess"

Pielorinho · Feb 27, 2003

A friend of mine just linked me to this review of "Dungeons and Dragons: Rules for Fantastic Medieval Wargames Playable With Paper and Pencil and Miniature Figures.". It's a riot!

Yep, you apparently weren't around last week (or the week before) when it first circulated around here. It's funny stuff, though, no doubt about it.

D'oh! Sorry about that! I shoulda guessed it woulda shown up here.

If someone wants to shut this down, that'd be fine.

I hadn't seen it before, then again I wasn't around last week. The optimum solution is to play by phone? Strange thought. I wonder if anyone ever took that seriously and tried it...

I hadn't seen it either yet so I was happy you posted it.

On that note, when I was in HS my friends and I would quite often run solo or two player sessions over the phone (I had three-way calling almost as soon as it came out). Worked pretty good, actually.

Turns out that reviewer was prophetic. Very cool; thanks for the link

I was here last week, and I missed it, so thanks.

Bitchin about price is nothing new it seems; the reviewer thought the game expensive at $3.5 a pop

Perhaps the link to this review should just become a sticky thread for a little while.

Heck, someone could even submit it to the reviews page...

I like that idea haiiro!

It seems that most of the complaints i have heard about 2E and 3E (heck even Hackmaster) are all contained right here too. Looks like nothing has really changed
