I've never played the Catan games, although I have heard of them.
You know what's fun, though? Mall of Horror.
It's essentially Dawn of the Dead: The Board Game.
You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

Any of you played SET? [link] We played at work recently and it was surprisingly addictive and fun.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
I hope to learn something by reading this thread. Do you all feel the immense pressure?

SET never appealed to me, although the game store folks in NY were always recommending it (along with Lost Cities).

I've been considering picking up some new video game for the new computer. I was thinking about Sims 2, but all I can ever find are expansion packs.

As for the RPG front -- at some point, probably next week, I plan on taking a look at Fantasy Grounds 2, and looking at what modifications are going to be needed for our purposes.
Also, spurred by a number of recent events, I'm finally starting work on a modification of the d20 system that reworks everything into a classless, level-less, hit pointless system. Yes, I am just that bored/stupid/insane. But I think it can be done. And the same recent developments that have started this project of mine up again have given me some good ideas along those lines.
