that Joker scene should have been in the movie! -- nm - mud Mar 24, 10:58 3

- Similar situation when my gaming group expanded. - ReluctantCynic Mar 24, 11:48 2

    - We had some rules queens who loved C & S. I was pretty "meh" about it myself. But I loved running games of Tunnels and Trolls. - ReluctantCynic Mar 24, 11:59
- I have a bunch of GURPS sourcebooks I bought just for the setting material. They were great references. -- nm - Baruno Mar 24, 11:18 9

  - My RPG group, for whatever reasons, chose to play the competitor to Champions: V&V, Vilnians and Vigilantes -- nm - JD Mar 24, 11:13 2
    - I was way into Champions until they got sued. Picked up the reissued edition a couple years ago, and it's still pretty good. - ReluctantCynic Mar 24, 12:33
    - Did that in the early 80s, I think -- nm - zork Mar 24, 11:32

        One session had a fatality before leaving base - zork Mar 24, 11:37 2
        
        Yeah. We cheated and gave initial body armour to prolong things. And allowed replacement after mission. Otherwise you rarely got anywhere. -- nm - VMan Mar 24, 11:42 1
        
        We ended up calling our platoon All the president's men. Each character's (last) name was from a president. -- nm - zork Mar 24, 11:44
