Wish I had a group to play with.  I've never really played D&D but I'd like to give it a try.

We still use second edition though we haven't played in nearly a year.

Wow and to think I use to be a sucker and buy every add on known to man from 1st to 3 (stopping at 3.5).

It was nice how he reminded me twice in that article about how much cash (over two decades probably over 10 grand) I dumped into a MIND GAME and have nothing to show for it that's still current and "valid".

So once I get over my anger you think I'm gong to run right out and buy all the new 4e books? Why?  I bet when 5ed comes out all the 4e books are gonna get burned anyway. They admit every X years they reboot the system and make you do it all over again. PC games don't make you do that at least, they debug and PATCH IT! :)

Thank god for electronic PDF's is all I'm going to say on the matter...    :angel:

You have nothing to show for it?  I have memories of many good times with friends just for a start.  Very worthwhile.

Actually, most games just fad off and the operating systems quit supporting them.  Try and play the old X-wing fighter game now, probably will not run (and support is long gone).  At least a board game you can keep playing it even if it isn't the current version. (unless of course all your books get taken out in a flood ::))

Good example marstone but X-wing, Tie Fighter and XvT are XP compatable. Though you probably need to run in 95/98 compatability mode for the earlier ones.

It's been so long since I've played D&D, I've forgotten how many sides a d20 has!  I just expect 4th ed. to be as bad as 2nd and 3rd.  Back when Gary Gygax was running the show, D&D was nice and wierd.  I still like the AD&D rulebooks.  After the franchise was stolen out from under Gygax, D&D descended to the lowest common denominator.  If I ever play again, I'll unpack the old books.

This thread is going off track fast!

Ah, but how many people still have a floppy drive on their spiffy new computers??
