Re: Today in History!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: The Role-Playing Game Thread!

Man, I enjoyed the 2nd Ed rules too. 20,000 miniatures not including terrain!? DAAAAM! I would love to have something like that but 4 kids kinda killed the funding. Now that the divorce is pretty much done, the new girlfriend is interested in trying it (she's never played before but has been interes...
