Power to them.<br /><br />I'm willing to try any game, though my preference now leans now towards strategy-heavy and rules-light.<br /><br />When I can't get my RPG fix, I can always rely on getting together with those friends who play eurogames like Settlers, Ticket to Ride and such.Aaron E.

When 2e came out, I switched because (at the time) I liked many of the changes. When I left D&D for other systems, it was because I didn’t want D&D anymore. When I came back to classic D&D, it was because I wanted D&D again, and 3e wasn’t doing it for me. My friends who play 3e genuinely like 3e. (Heck, I like it too, though it isn’t my game of choice.)<br /><br />I don’t know anybody yet who plays or likes 4e.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16733274876782876659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6707455220399106053.post-28214288736708341582010-06-03T14:59:34.084-04:002010-06-03T14:59:34.084-04:00Way to be.

Not that they would have. They didn't buy the D&D was evil nonsense when it started in the early 1980s. Of course, by then I had been playing games for years and they had seen first hand what happened in a game. No magic spells cast, no demons summoned, no human sacrifices -- just a bunch of people sitting around a table talking, eating, and rolling dice every once in a while.Randallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13879930955049101533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6707455220399106053.post-45745441186242419292010-06-03T07:48:39.728-04:002010-06-03T07:48:39.728-04:00@Todd - back in 78, I wished my mum and dad would ...@Todd - back in 78, I wished my mum and dad would take any kind of interest in what I was doing but reading your post, I guess I didn't have it all bad...Daddy Grognardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05559857164172090739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6707455220399106053.post-4645514281880579982010-06-02T22:10:37.205-04:002010-06-02T22:10:37.205-04:00I'm of the same mind, but feel myself tempted ...I'm of the same mind, but feel myself tempted by some Indie Games, and try them out from time to time... However, I ALWAYS find myself coming home to Holmes. <br /><br />I still have my battered copy of Holmes with highlighted sections I long ago memorized, and the Harpies with their "boobies" colored in with Number Two graphite. My dad was a Pastor and my mum was worried that D&D might be bad... I was taking no chances and colored those puppies over so that Holmes wouldn't end up in the same fire my AC~DC 8-track tapes ended up in...
