W00t, I've not been totally forgotten. Here's to hoping a part of the Blackisle community will forever live on. Where are they all, these days? Is there one community with most of them in or has everyone drifted?
Personally I'm quite fond of the Storyteller system (used in World of Darkness). I find it the best for basic character building (it doesn't take too long) and it's an easy system to use. The club I play at often spurns game on principle if they use D20 (which I don't agree with, although it is often a cumbersome system). I'm also a fan of the Unisystem.
*shudder* I remember that. A whole bunch of people behaved really badly, IMHO... not that I ever wore a halo myself, but that was just... wrong. Not the old board's finest hour, for sure.
