Finally, someone out there actually has heard of TFT and even plays
the game! I started out with the original Melee and Wizard , eventually
graduating to Advanced Melee & Wizard , plus the In The Labyrinth book.
(Sigh. I just wish others would share my liking and start up a game...)

As for other RPGs, I like both Traveller and Star Trek:The RPG for space
RPGing and Car Wars for Nasty RPGing [:-)]. Call of Cthulhu is another
good FRPG system ; It's certainly a change of pace (Look! Hastur just
ate your uncle!). 

Non-D&Ders Unite! Start posting!!
