D&D 3.5 holds such a special place for many of us. The depth and complexity of the system take a lot of work to beat. It’s fantastic to hear you're still going strong with it! What’s your favorite part about 3.5? For me, it’s the endless possibilities for character customization and the rich storytelling.

I saw your post while looking for smth, and It’s such a relaxing way to unwind after a long day. I love how it makes me think strategically while also being super chill. I’ve been into board games lately. One of my favorites right now is spider solitaire. If you haven’t tried it yet, I’d recommend giving it a shot. It’s great for solo play and perfect for those moments when you want to take it easy. What about you? Are there any board games you’re enjoying at the moment? I'm always up for hearing about new recommendations!

Spider Solitaire is such a classic! It’s perfect for unwinding and keeping the mind sharp. Lately, I’ve been enjoying some strategy-heavy board games like Catan. Have you tried it? Always up for new game suggestions too!

 old school  -

Axis and Allies

Rail Baron

Risk

Not sure how old - Tsuro

I miss D&D. We created some epic campaigns and characters. It really helped develop my ability to think outside the box and problem solve. 

 

The Tsuro iOS app is decent for a quick hit

Finally, somebody who appreciates Rail Baron

My buddies from college, my wife and I about a year ago decided to go back to our youth and start an AD&D campaign. Old school rules and we realized we had never played the great modules that were available back in the day. So we started with T1-4 (The Village of Hommlet and The Temple of Elemental Evil), moving on through the G series (Against the Giants) and will maybe do the D series (Descent into the Depths of the Earth, et al) and finish out with Q1 Queen of the Demonweb Pits.

Had to buy original copies online, but it has been a blast. We've been playing weekly for about a year and a half and have made it to G2 the Glacial Rift of the Frost Giant Jarl. Old school has been sooo much fun, but the game was much more deadly back then. No idea how any of our characters survived.

Sorry, I've dated myself and outed myself as a lifelong geek. 

Deal with it, folks like that run the world nowadays.

i think everyone played this starting out. FUN

Sadly, me and my guys and gal didn't. I started out in 1979, but as a 10 year old with divorcing parents, there just wasn't the money to get them. And my gaming group met up in 1988 and started playing but somehow it was never in the modules, just roll and goes. So, almost 35 years later and we're still gaming, and we just had a little nostalgic idea that we ran with.

It has been a hoot.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
