I once won a d300 and I loved it. I was very sad when I lost it.

Ahh yes Fighting Fantasy by Steve Jackson. My personal favorites are those books that has something to do with that labyrinth. And one set in Far East with you playing a samurai was terrific.
Personally I find Lone Wolf's game rules and structure more sophiscated and enjoyable but FF are terrific too.Comment

well... this post is probably too late to do anyone any real good but all the rules for DnD (Player's Handbook, DM's, Monster Manual, Unearthed Arcana, and the Epic Level Handbook) are legally available on the internet here:
(you don't even need to buy the rule books!)

On another subject- self biased- still playing the old version (The Masquerade) or White Wolf's new version (Requiem)? Myself, I'm a mage player

Don't forget the lowly d3!But you can't live with just a d20. You'll just have to have a couple of d10s, at least one each of the d8s and d4s and scores of d6s and....
And of course the d12- friend of barbarians everywhere!-->Visit CGN!

Assuming that you're referring to White Wolf... Never heard of Lone Wolf- though I'm willing to learn if you'd like to enlighten me... Eh, I dunno, the dice pool thing was really complicated, I thought. The LARP rules with rock/paper/scissors however, are definitely superior.Personally I find Lone Wolf's game rules and structure more sophiscated-->Visit CGN!

Lone Wolf is a set of solo adventure books, published by Steve Jackson Games IIRC.

Of course it doesn't exist in the physical realm, but that doesn't mean that there aren't legal situations in DnD when they ask you to roll a d3... I believe a small knife in the hands of a halfling does d3 damage (!)
Therefore, the d3, at the very least, exists conceptually.
Ah, okay... What's its particular catch. How is it different? What sort of special things does it offer?Lone Wolf is a set of solo adventure books, published by Steve Jackson Games IIRC.
You know, I thought that too... until I participated in a professionally done 3-day LARP (had to pay money to get in... not much though) [lasted from 7pm-1am each night] with about 50-60 other people. It was a Dark Ages scenario in the World of Darkness (produced by White Wolf) it combined their three settings of Werewolf: The Apocalypse, Vampire: The Masquerade, and Mage: The Ascension in a very artful manner.Nothing beats a paper and pencil RPG session, though.
The opportunities for inter-character interactions were amazing, and everyone was well behaved.
Basically, the LARP (Live action role playing) combined everything I love about acting with everything I loved about pen and paper Dungeons and Dragons.
Now though, as a word of warning and a caution- there are definitely some very dull LARP groups, and there are jackass LARP groups that actually hit people with swords, etc. or have people in them who don't really understand the difference between acting and reality.
For that reason, I personally have decided only to participate in LARPS at conventions like Origins or GenCon... much easier to get away from strange people playing in the meeting rooms of a hotel rather than in a field far away... or someone's basement.Last edited by DarkCloud; July 14, 2006, 22:40.-->Visit CGN!
