When Chris mentions links most are coming from here:<br /><br />http://eternalkeep.blogspot.com/<br /><br />And for the best solo game (maybe) ever you have to check this out:<br /><br />http://dwarfstar.brainiac.com/ds_barbarianprince.html<br /><br />everything but the mini and the die. I still own my original copy of this. <br /><br />And the downloads are legal. The other games there are great but BP is unique. Be certain to get the errata:<br /><br />http://www3.sympatico.ca/ccamfield/games/barb.html<br /><br />And the variants and extras:<br /><br />http://boardgamegeek.com/thread/527613/new-map-variants-and-player-aids-updated<br /><br />Happy gaming! :)xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17814063435676111475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-549940298295825812.post-39518302735281709672011-08-02T16:36:51.522-06:002011-08-02T16:36:51.522-06:00You're welcome!

You're right of course. ...Hey Thanks Alexander. You're right of course. I do enjoy bringing new people to gaming. Our club can boast over 90 gamers, more than half of tehm new to gaming. That's always gratifying. <br /><br />But what I really want to thank you for is your last sentence. That is very true as well. Others may have found what I have lost. It actually got me thinking about things and prompted today's blog post. Thanks again.<br /><br />And ADD Grognard, your a fountain of information. You've set me on so many trails about what's going on in the industry, since you've been commenting on my blog. I want to say thanks for that. I look forward to continuing to hear from you and following your blogs as well. The Eternal Keep is a great resource.<br /><br />And I didn't know you were writing a game! Where can I check it out? I've been tinkering with a game idea for the past few years now, but it's always been back burnered. I would love to know more about what you have going on. <br /><br />And thanks for the links by the way. It's always good to hear others opinions on OSR games. There's so many out there that It's hard to know what others think of some of them.<br /><br />Thanks again for stopping by.Sizzaxehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13715649618278080709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-549940298295825812.post-29049738387106247142011-08-01T19:41:58.526-06:002011-08-01T19:41:58.526-06:00I know how these funks can be. It's what cause...I know how these funks can be. It's what caused me to go away from gaming for a long time.<br /><br />But honest to god, I've not had this much fun since the early days. There is so much going on.<br /><br />Some things I'll throw out, hope they help:<br /><br />For commercial gaming enough good things can't be said about the Dragon Age RPG from Green Ronin. Inexpensive, rules lite, great and fun mechanics and fan support building everyday (I downloaded every linked item on a resource site the other night).<br /><br />In the OSR, I don't know what all you have looked at but the M74 / M75 material from Randall Stuckey is excellent.<br /><br />I'm cheering for the underdog, Basic Fantasy RPG (http://www.basicfantasy.org/main.html). There is a lot of goodness there and it feels the most like AD&D 1e of anything I have found. <br /><br />And I hope you give my system a look over when I drop it. Using a top down modular design I am in the process of building the game for everyone. It's plug and play all the way. You like lite and simpler, done. You like a wider scope and the ability to make it the perfect game for you and your players, done. 12 years I have worked on this total and finally the light at the end of the tunnel is in sight...just hope that's not a train.<br /><br />And try some solo stuff. The Arax setup is free to download at <br /><br />http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product_info.php?products_id=89451&filters=0_0_0_0<br /><br />I could fill screens, but I know how you feel. Have you considered playing with the group formed up in Google+ ? They seem like they are having a good time...and you can play or GM.
