    "Luck be in the air tonight" doesn't work. "I" was already in the puzzle.

    What have you been reading?

    I've always loved the Black Company books. Those I had no problem following. Now, Gene Wolfe's Shadow of the Torturer...it took me three tries, but I kept going back because I enjoyed the writing so much. Finally, I started it again just to enjoy the writing and imagery and didn't worry about...

    Favorite non-D&D Fantasy Game from 1970-1989

    For the time, it was probably the most complex game out there. Given that this was around 1981 that was fairly unusual. (Far more skills than Runequest, and Rolemaster wasn't out yet.) (This is all going off of archived memory...I haven't really looked at it in decades.) It also had an...

    One D&D

    I've actually seen way less anger about this than I expected. At least in the forums I frequent, the general attitude has been cautious optimism, some indifference, some dislike of specifics...but very little hatred of the entire concept.

    One D&D

    Admittedly, I bailed on AD&D after 1st edition. 5e actually got me back. So far I like a lot of what they're proposing, and there are other items I'm dubious about...but overall positive. (There's a much longer interview that was interesting to watch. See below.) One thing he emphasizes...

    Favorite non-D&D Fantasy Game from 1970-1989

    I started with RPGs in '79. During the '80s...man. We had some great games in a lot of systems...but the ones in Rolemaster, Ysgarth, and HarnMaster were the most memorable. The longest campaigns were RM and HM. I ran RM and played HM, so it's hard to pick between the two. That Rolemaster...

    Star Trek: TNG Returns?!

    Loving Strange New Worlds so far. I haven't noticed any canon violations that matter, IMO.

    That's funny. Below is a picture I took of a truck I've seen driving around town.

    Rolemaster Standard System

    What I really like about the roll high approach of Rolemaster is the ability to get open-ended rolls. Even if it should be above your character's ability, there's always a slight chance he can succeed. Target numbers above 100 aren't uncommon. Especially when it comes to combat, getting that...

    The New A/State RPG and why I’ve decided not to back the kickstarter.

    Yeah, CORPS was the inspiration for the original rules. Probably why I liked them. I'm likely to use CORPS or EABA whenever I'm able to run it.

    The New A/State RPG and why I’ve decided not to back the kickstarter.

    I love the setting and backed the Kickstarter. Maybe their implementation of the mechanics will work for me, but it's unlikely. I'll likely use a different set of mechanics. I backed it to support the setting.

    Your oldest RPG possessions?

    Okay, it does thank Chaosium, so I assume a second printing.

    Your oldest RPG possessions?

    Also 1st edition Deities & Demigods. I think this is a first printing...? (Update, second printing, apparently.) I bought it in the summer of 1981, I believe.
