Is it me or are alot of the old games I use to play as a nipper and teen coming back?, further more they seem to suck and over simplified. Does everything have to revolve around a D20 now?, good examples of this is starfleet battles,traveller D20, the multitude of MMO RPGs,paranioa,shadowrun,Cyberpunk. Heck even battlech tech has come out with a 3085 and new more broken technology than before, and I thought the clans were BAD!.

I mean who remberes the old school games like carwars,traveller,GURPS,first and second edition D&D,The old starfleet battle. Back when Huge battles depending on system could take DAYS or even your whole weekend! [a company size game of battletech is one way to kiss you weekend goodbye]. I mean here I am on thanks giving, and my younger relitives are pulling out their favorite games and cornering me after the feast and hand me theses to memorise and play for the family gathering this weekend.

I can't say I like what I am reading, and some of it is down right an insult to ones IQ level!, has gaming targeted idoits and morons incapable of grasping simple mathmatics byond addition?. Isn't Roleplay suppose to be a mental exersize in both playing your role AND mechanical advantage?, this new stuff seems to only espouse 1+1 to get an advantage. Like in D&D 4th ed there are no flavorful feats, and everyone basicly does the same damage the only differaces are range and effect.

Like D&D 2nd ed was total bais towards humans, there were stat requirement for races not to mention some hard math at some points, more so once your magic user got higher up in levels. Now it seems everything has to be bland, even and politicly correct. What happened?, what caused the taking of flavor out of todays roleplaying games?.

To wrap this up, anyone feel like playing these older games with me, I'd gladly dust off my fathers fairly large traveller collection.

mmm FB at the end..face book?

I for one have never really liked Diablo, there's little to no real replayablity for me. the first time through is the hardest, then it's just to easy, besides it's just aonther blizzard rehash just paying for new box art.

Whats the surprise?, it's just another blizzard rehash people. You really paying for new box art, sure minor upgrades but it's still the same thing.

SHHHHH your not suppose to say the name of "He who must not be named". You'll bring him down on all of us!

I whole hartedly agree with Darlene, why do you think Minna often paid lower level adventuring groups to do the lumber jacks mission for a plot that went as yet unfinished?. I didnt mind helping new comers at my own expense

so… is this saying I was right on a few points?, should I have this feeling of vindaction?

She still keep a viligant eye out for any other related topics

Well with EVE, I did join a corp…guess I didn't get a good one. Prehaps you are correct ..as for LOTR I sorta had a feeling it wasn't a good one.

i can install it I choose NOT to, there are much better programs as ways to do the same thing.
