SeductiveNun Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Gary Gygax passes away Tuesday, March 4 I was fortunate enough to meet Gary and he ran a weekend adventure for some friends of mine a couple years ago. Real nice guy, lots of great stories, and he was really great as far as signing things for us that weekend. This wasn't a convention, just 8-10 guys getting together and Gary was nice enough to DM for us that weekend. He'll be missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramhock Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I play Settlers of Catan pretty regularly. I play a few games every day and the board game at least once/wk with my three sons along with a game of Scrabble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yo mama Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I play a few games every day and the board game at least once/wk with my three sons along with a game of Scrabble. Upgrade to Seafarers of Catan and/or Knights and Cities of Catan, if you haven't already. There is also an expansion set that allows up to 6 players to play, which totally changes the dynamic.

SeductiveNun Posted March 4, 2008 Author Share Posted March 4, 2008 I still play D&D on occasion, we use sort of a hybrid of 1st and 2nd edition rules. Although we still lean pretty heavily towards the 1st edition AD&D rules. I also play Settler of Catan every now and then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
