If I started opening my eyes every time I walked around I'd have half the fun and half the bruises!One day you really open your eyes, look around, and wonder if you know people anymore.

My other gaming hobby has been board games from the early RPG / fantasy types like Dungeon, Magic Wood, The Dark Tower, Chill: Black Morn Manor,
Impressive taste in games, good chap. (Especially nice to see Mystic Wood get a mention. It really should be better remembered than it is).My other gaming hobby has been board games from the early RPG / fantasy types like Dungeon, Magic Wood, The Dark Tower, Chill: Black Morn Manor, and Talisman to War games like Advanced Squad Leader and Battle Tech to Ameritrash games like Axis & Allies and Fortress America. Again I dropped off while I was in the Army but picked back up over the last decade with everything from buying an expensive complete Warhammer Quest collection to all the new hotness like Shadows of Brimstone and Conan.
Black Morn Manor is an underrated game that deserves a new edition. It's really excellent, but the original was made so cheaply compared to today's luxury boardgame production standards.

I wasn't here for the founding but the impetus seemed to be the ability to have polite conversation about games. To that end there is a no politics rule. That seems to be the key these days to civility.Neato to find this place. I've tooled around for a bit but wanted to say "hi"! I'm an old school AD&Der who lives in South Jersey... though my daughters have gotten me into 5e a bit. I play mainly PbP at this point in time, fits the schedule you know.
What's the history of these forums. They are well set up and well populated, and (what little I've seen) seem to be a bunch of folks interacting pleasantly... weirdness for forums these days. What's the impetus for this forum's creation? I'd love to know.
Be well all!

To quote a wise man, I've been everywhere man. But yes! I've done PbP on several different forums and platforms. It's my main source of play right now, even though I'm not playing as much as I'd like - work and real life, and the wife and daughters want to eat, y'all know how it is - don't become a social worker folks! While I mainly play on Unseen Servant (and help Moderate there), I have played on RPoL and Dragonsfoot, on a now defunct site called AliveAndOutOfPrint.com and I've looked into a couple others, but Unseen Servant is sorta like here, bunches of decent folks, very welcoming to newcomers, so I play mostly there now.Welcome to the Pub, rredmond. If nobody fills in you in before I get done with work, I’ll tell you about it. Were you ever on play-by-post forums before? You look familiar.
QFT - you ain't kidding.To that end there is a no politics rule. That seems to be the key these days to civility.
I help Mod at Dragonsfoot, so I appreciate the zero tolerance for douchebaggery. Smart....we've had a couple of bans for people just being asshats, but other than that, nothing. we are just committed to it.
I wouldn't say we have zero tolerance. Given that the users here aren't likely to get wound up, we usually give new users a little time to acclimate. Some people come in hot based on behavior at other forums, then mellow out once they get a feel for the place. If we had a no tolerance policy, we would have lost some people are solid members of the forum today.I help Mod at Dragonsfoot, so I appreciate the zero tolerance for douchebaggery. Smart.
I look forward to hearing the history. I understand that it may not be more than, just wanted to find a good space to talk about the games we love. But I'm intrigued nonetheless.
Be well everyone and thanks so much for the welcome!

Oh so true!
Wow. How are you living with the total failure on that one?!Along with the no politics, I wanted people to try and follow the Golden Rule. Everyone here may appear to be pixels on your phone or computer screens, but there are real people behind these handles and to a lot of folks this is a way to get away from the stressful and shitty things in life. A little respect for your fellow women and men goes a long way.

I've finally moved into a new apartment!
The apartment hunting nightmare is over!
Also yo Mama is so old that when she tried to leave the antique store they charged you!
