Oh man, those are great band names too!
We were playing Kingdoms in the hospital room, which is basically tic-tac-toe on steroids, but it has a castles and dragons theme. The nurse asked what it was, and said, "Oh, I thought maybe it was that Dungeons and Dragons game."
I did not mention that all the stuff for THAT game was in the closet, awaiting additional players to arrive.
I finished up Oblivion, well finished enough quest lines to feel finished. Since I had the game of the year edition, there are a lot of quest lines.
I started up Neverwinter Nights 2 which I gather is based on D&D 3.5 rules. Character creation and progression in D&D 3.5 appears to be several orders of magnitude more complex than the D&D I played many, many moons ago. I think it might be a bit of overkill for a computer game.

Probably for the best, though maybe it plays out differently with pen & pencil. I bet there must be epic online debates somewhere.
Mostly I think people like 4.0 better.
Not to start a huge fight, but 4.0 sucks, and is seriously broken as a p'n'p game.
I miss gaming.
Me too, though I've done at least some in the last year b
I miss gaming, too.
I miss gaming with *you*, MM.
