[QUOTE="jdrakeh, post: 4163517, member: 13892"] Well, while I'm taking a break from spiining wrenches, allow me to chime in on the positive merits of vs Monsters. I started off running it as 'the other game' that our group would play when somebody couldn't make it for the regularly scheduled C&C game. After something like a month of C&C and two sessions of vs Monsters, the group very nearly unanimously (there was one hold out) voted to make C&C 'the other game' and play vs Monsters instead. This is where vs Elves originally came from. I haven't had a chance to do much playing of [i]anything[/i] lately, due to work (and today, due to an unexpectedly necessary heater core replacement), but vs Monsters is one of those games that I own in every printed version (minus the box set) and never plan to trade away. [Edit: I also typically [I]hate[/I] card-based RPGs. Starchildren, Castle Falkenstein, Dust Devils, et al. . . I dislike all of them. I disliked the card-based initiative in Deadlands. All of those systems, I felt, were horribly clunky and not very fun. I didn't at all expect to like vs. Monsters. But [I]man[/I]. I like vs Monsters and what it does with cards. A lot.] [/QUOTE]
