D&D/d20-style games

Thanks Private Panic. I just did that.

We just got a couple of these in at the game store that I work for.  Has anyone here played it?

Apparently it was designed by a sub commander, Andrew Benford.  I think that some of the components look interesting, like the acrylic sonar overlays.  If anyone’s interested, I can try to give it a play and post a review of it here.

@Pvt.Ryan:

thanks skinny! Now I know what to d othis weekend.

It is a fun game and has an easy to understand rule book.

Yeah, that’s the game.  It was something between the simplest RPG-like game you can play and actual D&D.  The gamemaster could make their own scenarios, if they wanted.

I am still looking for a really good Civil War map file. Does anyone have any leads?

@bbrett3:

Some people said it was just like Fallout, but with more customization, is that true?

I don’t really know.  I think Fallout 3 is more in depth, but I never played it, just assuming so from Bethesda.  Borderlands focuses on action, multiplayer, quests, and getting more and more loot. It’s really simple and the character customization is basic - 3 trees with 7 skills each (1 master) that is unlocked as you put more points in the tree.  The weapons are never the same except for the unique ones bosses always carry.  It looks nice and is well done, but plays really well.  You can kill quite a few hours on it the first time through, but once you know what to do I think you can run through it and even skip side quests.

So if you are interested in playing some Eurogames, there is a very good German site for doing so:

Have a try, I think, you’ll like it.

All Axis & Allies games. Some American Civil War games. Also Railroad Tycoon. No time or players for any others. I thought that I would like online versions of AA but the commitment to others that I do not know is awkward. I feel bad if I start and then have to leave before the game is over. If its someone that I know then we can always save and continue later. I am involved with this forum only.
