It looks just like me when I accidentally saved over 2 days worth of writing last summer.

Just wanted to add my Hey, y'all!" in. I've been GMing since 1979 (AD&D first, many other games since), introduced my girlfriend to RPGs through Chaosium's terrific Worlds of Wonder in high school...she took to it like a duck to water, so I married her! I'm a big fan of CoC and Stormbringer/Elric!, so I'm delighted with BRP, and anxiously awaiting the arrival of Classic Fantasy and Ace High from Chaosium ("Order Prepared"...what does that mean? :confused.

Hey DMK, welcome to the forum.

Order prepared pretty much means It should be getting ready to go out the door. It may have already actually as I have received orders while it still said that. It wasn't until after I received it that it shipped.

PS - Aces High is an awesome supplement that you will not be disappointed with, and I HOPE you like Classic Fantasy as well.

Edit: I like your quote, "Night of the Comet" if I remember right.

Thanks! I wasn't actually torgued about the order statement...more amused. "It's prepared...we're not sending it yet, but we could!" Very much looking forward to the BRP supplements, I've read great things about both of them. I'm hoping to run a BRP Classic Fantasy game set in the Wilderlands...seems like a perfect mix to me.

And, yes, the quote, the avatar and the screen name are all from Night of the Comet...I'm, like, totally from the '80s, y'know? :cool:

Night of the Comet ... how cool is that? Welcome to the boards, DMK!:thumb:

Wait, I don't think I've been introduced yet! Hello everybody! I'm here because I remember Trifletraxor's previous forum, which unfortunately didn't last that long in spite of (or because of?) my spamming every RuneQuest and BRP group that I could find, and I remember that picture on the Mongoose forums. I did barely enough to get my name on the playtester's list in the new BRP book. Oh, and I do the odd bit of third-party work for Mongoose Traveller, although I personally only play that game (and every other game) with percentage dice ...

Classic Fantasy is seriously plucking at my purse strings, although the other half of my brain keeps saying "No, you traitor, write your own BRP version of Moldvay/Cook B/X, the real D&D!"

I love the movie, but I don't remember "DMK".

I'm rather stuck in the 80's myself. Of course, that was the best time of my life, attending college and spending every spare moment on RPGs and computer games.

Altho I started with the Basic Set back about 1978, and played a lot of AD&D 1st ed., most of my games have been in my own game worlds, with various house rules (I'll tell you about my d% hot-hit table replacement sometime), I feel no particular loyalty to the system. I'm sick of class/level designs. That's why I prefer BRP.

Heh, that's just an in-joke reference to the fact that Classic Fantasy is, to my understanding, based on AD&D 1st edition, while my upbringing was the old Basic and Expert D&D sets by Moldvay and Cook. So, I'm messing about writing a Basic Roleplaying version of those two red & blue books, but I wonder how different the end product will be from threedeesix's Classic Fantasy. In other words, am I wasting my time!?
