I've been looking forward to the voting to be done to come in here and post that I've become addicted to Scrabulous on Facebook, so if anyone would like to play, please let me know and I'll invite you and/or let you know my real name. Or if you know my real name, just invite away!

I have a sneaking suspicion that this is not the kind of gaming people were talking about, but I can be a pushy broad, and this addiction is not to be messed with lightly.

settles in to lurk and learn

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.

And just like that I'm in a Gary Larson "blah blah blah Ginger" world all over again.

SCRABULOUS!

And please fear not, libkitty. I know several of the people who started the thread also play Scrabulous, including myself.

I know very few gamers who won't try almost any game at least once. And fewer still will look down on a game for anything other than being a crap game. Scrabble is a classic.

I've had hours of fun with Scrabble, Monopoly, Life, Parcheesi, Sorry, you name it.

Gaming is a state of mind.

Ha! megan, if it makes you feel any better, I mostly understood that paragraph, but in no way would be able to explain its meaning to anyone.

Hee! That's all advanced stuff, but I'm happy to expound and babble until your eyes glaze over, megan.

Oh, wait. I see they already have....

I've only played Set once or twice, and not recently, but I think it was fun. I had to run through the online version GC linked to to remember it at all and now I want to play.

I may have to expound on the joys of my Republic of Rome board game later, to possibly entertain and intrigue any history buffs out there.

So since we have this shiny gaming thread, allow me to link to one of my current favorite games! Unhallowed Metropolis, the gas-mask chic role-playing game of Neo-Victorian horror.

Now yes, I'm slightly biased. Neo-Victorian Gothic, quasi-Steampunk, and zombies and vampires. Plus I know the kids behind it, and they keep taking pictures of me to use in the sourcebooks. But! It's got a great, atmospheric setting. I have no idea how good the mechanics are; I've only played one session of the game so far, and I'm one of those types of players who can't ever remember rules or mechanics. But friends of mine who ARE more mechanics-oriented have made happy noises at the main rule book.

Neo-Victorian zombies and vampires, folks. Really, how can you say no?

That's all the sales pitch I needed, Jilli. Added to the list to check out.
