Korgana Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I hope some of you people are left from the Black Isle days, if not sorry to bug. Black Isle actually is what got me back into gaming after a hiatus after the "White Box" games. Are Bishop and Fergus still there? If so Hi!

mkreku Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 White Box games? What are those? I got stuck in the realm of RPG's after experiencing the Gold Box games myself. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightshape Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 White Box games? What are those? I got stuck in the realm of RPG's after experiencing the Gold Box games myself. Yeah, must be something us part time geeks missed... Seriously though, its gold box isn't it. Also, don't remember person from black isle days. I came up with Crate 3.0 technology. Crate 4.0 - we shall just have to wait and see.Down and out on the Solomani RimNow the Spinward Marches don't look so GRIM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amentep Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 White box is obviously a racist gold box. Then what is a Black Box? A flight recorder in a plane? An event recorder in a locomotive? I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walsingham Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 It could be some sort of revolting salted licorice collection? "It wasn't lies.

Korgana Posted April 10, 2011 Author Share Posted April 10, 2011 Sorry, I got my video games mixed up with my table top games. The video games were indeed gold box games, D&D 1st edition table top game was at one time released in a white box verion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gizmo Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 I only know of the Gold Box series (and the Legend series). It could be some sort of revolting salted licorice collection? They make that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purkake Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Look up salmiakki for all your salted licorice needs, also makes for interesting ****tails. I thought Black Box was Valve's cancelled companion to the Orange Box, reported to contain only Episode II, Team Fortress II and Portal and be cheaper than the all-inclusive Orange Box. And hey, I was at the BIS boards as well, but I was a relative newcomer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Fun! Isn't GoldBox original D&D rules though? My first D&D set was the red boxed set (and red books), but that would have been 83-84' or so, not before (I think).

Though I remember playing D&D in the 70's (not the color of the books though ) gold box refers to the ssi crpg stuff. the red (basic) blue (expert) came along some number o' years after the original d&d rules were released in 1974. for some obscure reason we never could figure out, the original d&d rules is often misidentified as white-box d&d, 'cause in 1976 the rules were released in a white box. the actual original rules were released a couple years earlier and had hobbits 'stead o' halflings.

Gizmo Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 gold box refers to the ssi crpg stuff.Yeah... I was not at all clear (the way I wrote it)...but I only meant that the SSI games used the early D&D rules, (not a 'gold box' D&D set ~though... the Immortals books were gold, come to think of it ). the red (basic) blue (expert) came along some number o' years after the original d&d rules were released in 1974. for some obscure reason we never could figure out, the original d&d rules is often misidentified as white-box d&d, 'cause in 1976 the rules were released in a white box. the actual original rules were released a couple years earlier and had hobbits 'stead o' halflings. HA! Good Fun! That's pretty cool to know; and understandable about the Hobbits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
