jerome1232 Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) Our group has been on hiatus for about six months. We are starting up again Friday night. I am running them through the Giant series. There are occasional "trips" into Ravenloft. Currently they are in the upper level of G1. My group consists of one of my old high school friends, his son, my sons and some other kids in the ward. Unfortunately I am the DM, so I don't get to "play" as it were, but I enjoy creating the stories. We use AD&D/First Edition rules.That doesn't have THAC0 does it?*jerome1232 assumes the fetal postion and begins crying.I seriously love the newer D20 system. 3.5 is where I'll stay forever... even though I don't technically play anymore.

mirkwood Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Warhammer, warhammer 40000 Both are fun games, but a very expensive hobby. I have several thousand dollars invested in figures over 20+ years for GW games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bytebear Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 also I like Eurorails/Empire Builder and a fun little card game called The Great Dalmudi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windseeker Posted August 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 Had some friends over and ended up dusting off one of our old games I have cast into ameritrash outer darkness. Guesstures We actually had a blast with lots of laughter. I'm glad my son decided to dig it out of his closet. Finally unboxed Arcadia Quest and set it up, but didn't have time to play thru a scenario. Looks like it will be fun and the figures are adorable.

char713 Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 My husband gave me a new game for my birthday recently, Spy Alley. I enjoy those kinds of games, where the strategy (and level of enjoyment) depends more on knowing your opponents versus knowing the game itself. We hope this one will be similar to Resistance and Acquire (and others) because they bring my family closer -- even though it might seem to outsiders that we are about to claw at eachothers' throats. We are always left with a peculiar feeling of satisfaction, closeness, and contentment, that we know eachother that well, the good and the bad attributes, in order to play the game so well.

Vort Posted August 24, 2015 Report Share Posted August 24, 2015 Once I realized that you could actually infer what cards other people held, Clue took on a whole new life. Unfortunately, after the game where I realized that, it was probably 20 years before I played again. mordorbund 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
