...Ha! Ha!<br />It's funy 'cuz it's true!<br />:-)<br /><br />The 2E era was awesome, so no complaints if 5E brings back that vibe. Or spawns a similar sized customer base. There were many more people playing than certain 'official' sources that have something to gain by downplaying this time in the hobby are willing to admit. The Campaign Worlds were great, there were some good adventures(but there should have been more), and Dragon and Dungeon magazine were at their height, imo. It'd also be great if other RPGs experienced a revival, and who knows....velaranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15689908090884198784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2005132770907882258.post-10888633274498724192012-01-27T19:47:18.498-05:002012-01-27T19:47:18.498-05:00I agree with Paladin :)I agree with Paladin :)The Lord of Excesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12844701226225155792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2005132770907882258.post-41846898209412125992012-01-27T18:57:16.712-05:002012-01-27T18:57:16.712-05:00::golf clap::

A loss that goes beyond gaming.
