 May 18, 2010 - 10:51pm | I'm so behind in the times. I hardly know what "tweeting" is. The site is pretty lite currently. Feel free to sign up, discuss, and post content. it's intended to become a commercial side of all this stuff - I hope. So keep things public-friendly! We can be dirty rotten scoundrels on this site lol... 3. We wear sungoggles during the day. Not because the sun affects our
vision, but when you're cool like us the sun shines all the time. |

May 25, 2010 - 1:58pm | That 80's RPG FeelI'm in love with science fiction, and with 80's style of role-playing. Is that a crime? If so, I'm guilty. Does it make me an old relic? I don't think so. I talk to many and hear the same things (and there exists a whole host of projects to revive old game systems all over the web).(snip) So here I am ready to make a new science fiction role-playing game. A lot of the mechanics have already been worked out, though they still evolve with each new playtesting. I sincerely hope I can capture some of this old 80's feel in a new genre, while packaging it as a modern game. So I have a question for you... What are the elements of role-playing games you look back on from the 80's and miss most? Did I hit any marks in my 3-point summary, or am I way off? Let's hear from you? -BL |

Less record keeping: refer to items number 1&2 Thats How I remember the '80s and gaming, Nostolgia does stuff with your memories so my perceptions maybe that it was all great while in truth it may have been 50% great and 50% stuff I wished they'd fix - and the fixes now exist in 3.5 and 4.o kind of tediousness. BUt I can say this: if a game is fairly simple and easy to learn, fast paced and fun- you can squeeze in more than one combat encounter in a session, I There is a high likelihood of me playing it. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
