It would be neat if somebody actually started something AD&D around here...

Don't know much about D&D, but am sure that if they pu tme on the top of the subject I should do fine. I hope :(

Wow! Someone that has never played D&D (in any of its forms)??? Incredible.

Most people I know have been playing it for at least 20 years - or at lease since Third Edition came out...we definitely could use some more coverage of it...

Wow, the two big cheeses in the forums are getting testy with each other--let's all have a nice hug and go back to acting goofy and flirting with Zhaneel like we used to. ;)

Thank you! Someone else agrees w/ me on how all of these D&D games that call themselves CRPG's are nothing more than overglorified real-time strategy games...

I started a D&D game using "old rules" since I didn't have a 3rd ed. DM's guide and it petered out after a while.

And Icewind Dale/Baldur's Gate is pretty much turn-based as you can hit the spacebar at any point to give orders. I thought BG was a great addition after such a long RPG drought anyway...

D2 is still an old fav. of mine. Just can't figure why its called cheating to change your characters name.

Anyhow, M:TG should get an RPG for the computer.

Is that blasphemy I hear? Get him!

I remember the RPG drout - I think it was something like in '97 or something? Around the same time Baldur's Gate came out, Might & Magic VI came out. MM6 was a great game that helped remind people of 'old school' CRPG's - unfortunately, because it didn't have AD&D in front of its name it was overshadowed by Baldur's Gate...

Train: I agree that an RPG for MTG would be great - the original MTG game for Windows 95 had that little Shandalar game that I loved (too bad I can't get it to run in XP), but I think that Wizards/Hasbro should come out w/ a new version...

"...of course, they preger MTGO because they can milk people for lots of cash w/ it..."

Good heavens, Ferret and I agree on something!

I like turn-based games that no one else plays.

our opinion is that online games (i.e. sims online, everquest, etc.) are just an evil way of getting more money... If you bought the original game and never got any of the add-ons, you would have re-baught the game in about three months of playing it.

Its addictive as hell, and a good idea to make money.

Nuff said
