Although I once received a rejection that said that D&D fans would probably like the story so that says something, right?Nicole Zoltackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07464800543376449290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27144766.post-9588776272115293642011-06-07T11:41:20.468-04:002011-06-07T11:41:20.468-04:00Ciara-Thanks for stopping by.

I had to DM as I was the adult and I forced my wife to play a character. Unfortunately, not a lot of time to play any other way.Buddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17142269413009487783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27144766.post-38890734833662466432011-06-07T07:26:48.996-04:002011-06-07T07:26:48.996-04:00I also am someone who never got the chance to play...I also am someone who never got the chance to play D&D growing up (for lack of friends interested in it). I don't know anyone today who would be interested that lives nearby, either, except for my two nephews (11 and 13).<br /><br />I did break out Settlers of Catan with my nephews a couple weeks ago and they loved it. We were all learning together so nobody really had an edge, but it became apparent after a few games that it definitely requires some strategic thinking that the 11 year old didn't quite have down yet.Rosshttp://rossotron.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27144766.post-25496611498585209492011-06-07T02:58:44.083-04:002011-06-07T02:58:44.083-04:00I've played Resident Evil 4.

I picked up all my books from Half Price Books when every other store was treating my D&D edition of choice as out-of-print books -selling them for twice the price of new books.<br /><br />I also agree that 4E really emphasizes miniatures, but this is easy to work around. Lego men make awesome minis. I also use M.U.S.C.L.E. men I've had lying around since the 80s, or even Go pieces if I need a whole bunch of baddies. Also, sites like Trollandtoad.com often sell minis for as little as $0.50 a piece.GeoffN.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14506445477494524672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27144766.post-5149994295455683142011-06-06T15:21:25.421-04:002011-06-06T15:21:25.421-04:00Pat- RE4 is creepy, you gotta try it.

If you can find the books at a used book store, it's a really cheap game to play. I think I have boxes still of old modules...<br />Thanks for participating in the blogfest!Alex J.
