• • Terrible game.

  • God knows I gave it a good shot through open beta but the OP is dead on. I tried to like it... I really did. I even went so far as to write a few positive posts about the game's potential yet the sheer grind and the prickish community drove me out. Too bad Snail deigned to depend on a few arrogant egomaniac players to dictate how the "western world" would like to play. I got a real kick out of recieving an e-mail in regards to some VIP Key. I wouldn't come back to that game if they paid me a salary!

• • General: A Tribute to Gary Gygax 1938 - 2008

  • Thanks for beginning this thread. It's a great way to ease the sadness of his passing and it gives us an opportunity to say "Thanks for the memories!" although belatedly.

    There are a very many of us who have never met Gary Gygax and many who never had the opportunity to sit down and play a really good game of D&D, yet, all of us here in these forums owe him a huge debt of gratitude for his vision and it's affects on how we game today. Since J.R.R.Tolkien's novels first brought us the Hobbits and their grand adventures, each of us who grew up with the visions those pages brought us longed to take part in them. Long before video games Dungeons and Dragons allowed us to embark on tales of our own in worlds created by our own imaginings by giving us a doorway and a set of rules to give it all substance. I and many of my friends (some who have passed and are waiting to perhaps play now with Gary himself) have shared in many nights of laughter and adventure that are indelibly carved into memory. Hearing of his passing brought all of them to light again in my mind and with bittersweet recollections of laughing faces I will never see again who took part in so many grand adventures that may never have happened without Gary Gygax... well... all I can say is "Thanks for the memories Mr. Gygax and tell Kim (your greatest fan) I said hello".

    May he rest in peace.
