[Ghosts & Goblins & Chocolate]

I knew my expectations were justified!

Awesome read @melkathi

Yeah, some things haven't changed the last 40 years when it comes to how games are marketed. The games don't always match the box art (said the guy who stared at curvy women box art painted by Boris Vallejo on the old SSI and 3Do games in the 80's)

Hope those cat forks pays your next games!

Tl;dr; 20 years is a life time

 

I still think back to those days in 1983, when fighting my mum over access to the TV. I swear, she never cared watching TV before, until I got that Commodore 64 and didn't have my own screen (yet)

It was the fight of the titans, seeing who was the most stubborn

In the end, I made enough money to buy a 12" black and white TV to put up in my own room. Peace settled over the land and everyone could back to worry about total nuclear war (the real thing, not the later video game)

But it's been a long journey, technologies come and go, concepts come and go, target audiences come and go. VHS won out over Beta MAX, but nobody today knows what the heck either of them are. Tapes were the original medium video games were sold on for home computers, whether they be Acorn BBC model B or Sinclair ZX Spectrums. Floppy disks followed and less floppy, floppy (3.5") followed and eventually cd roms. Even those eventually died out and everyone gets their fix from the internet. Scratching my head and wondering what replaces the current internet some day? All of that in 2x20 years.

Nice reading Bruce!

I don't know the specific book, but Enid Blytons "The Famous Five" books were something I loved, growing up. The four kids and their dog going on all kinds of adventures, helping a young mind escaping the limitations of the physical world and go to various places of the imagination. Had the very same "red" D&D basic rule book too

Good to see, that circumstances didn't completely block your access to things that interested you

[If Obsidian + Kickstarter = ?]

Agreed, this isn't the place to have a rage filled debate over ideas, even if people do want Obsidian to make Final Fantasy Five Billion

Just thought I would emphasize this point...

[How far have you gotten in MoTB?]

One of the Top Ten RPG's and definetly best one in many, many years.

 

Huge congratz to Obz team! Keep up with the great work

 

 

I've finished it 1 and half time. However, I have 4 other characters planned for MotB already...

Got it about a week ago. Fiddled around a long while with character creation and a few trial runs in the barrow. Now playing "for real", currently in Act II
