Super Squirrel Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Re: Musings on Random Musings Carton Network does have a lot of crap on it. I did, however, discover Fullmetal Alchemist which is a gem of an anime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermit Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Re: Musings on Random Musings I have been bitten by the write up bug big time. Let's see the JLA, JSA, maybe the Titans, Avengers, X-Men? Nah, I hate them. Emotional Archetypes, The Knights of Razrial I haven't even unzipped the USPDII, TEEN CHAMPIONS, Galactic Champions, or Ultimate metamorph HD sets... Too much HERO goodness... maybe I'll call in sick on monday. Some excellent stuff it has been too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zornwil Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Re: Musings on Random Musings Weirdness at work today. An elderly lady buys a cup of coffee, then looks at me with glazed eyes and in a slow monotonous drone says: "I am Countess Maria von Falkenberg, wife of the esteemed Marquis Alessandro Grimaldi. You have been very kind... I'll tell my husband to visit this cafe and leave a one million euro tip". So, here I am, waiting for this Marquis. If you don't hear about me for a few weeks, know that I've been busy spending my humungous tip on some faraway Carribean island. Odd - good luck, once in a while truth is stranger than fiction. Did you think of anything to say? This month is the one year anniversary of the legendary RFK incident. Somehow it seems longer. PS - and just this evening at dinner we were discussing it, oddly enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you know you wanna spend it shopping in Stockholm! One million Euro would have been close to two billion old Italian Lire if they were still around. Given how prone our old currency was to speculation, I think we're better off with the Euro, but I miss the old Lire bills. They had some very good art, one of the prettiest currencies around if you ask me. As for shopping in Stockholm, care to suggest any good Swedish RPGs?

Get thee to either SF-Bokhandeln in the Old Town or to old Tradition in Gallerian (I think it's an EB Games nowadays, but I'm not sure). There thou hast to pick up a copy of the latest version of the game I cut my teeth on - Drakar och Demoner! The game is in it's sixth edition now, and very different from when I played it. The game world is a mix of standard High Fantasy and Scandinavian folklore - lots and lots of trolls! Then there's Eon, a fantasy game I've never played, but I have acquaintances that swear by it. And then there's Mutant, a Post-Apoc game set several hundred years after the Big Kaboom. Fortbidden Zones, Mutated Animals and Cyborgs, oh my!

Solomon Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Re: Musings on Random Musings DoD looks like something I might get. Every country should hang to its own D&D clone...

I got Das Schwarze Auge and I'm loving it. If I was rich, I'd resurrect a couple defunct Italian D&D clones. Mutant was the game that evolved (devolved?) into Mutant Chronicles? Yeah . . . Too bad, really. The first version seemed fun (it's the version now in print! Some fans brought it back to life, bless them.), the secon version was pretty much like the first, but much more cyberpunk. Then came Mutant RYMD, which was some kind of hodgepodge between Space Cyberpunk and Kult horror. It's second edition was, if I remember correctly, what is now known as Mutant Chronicles. And DoD was originally a translation of the Fantasy part of Basic Roleplaying, Chaosium's generic RPG system (as used in the original Call Of Cthulhu). Someone published a swedish version of D'n'D, but they went belly-up faster than you can say 'Pie'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
