I have to say, I haven't played RPG games in years (loved the The Fantasy Trip and played a lot of Warhammer and Games workshop games in the day otherwise I'm to busy making videos and painting figures. But I've been having a blast reading the book and it's making me want to play again. That's worth it to me plus Tracy was fun to work with.

LOL This is by far the best episode of Game Geeks I have yet seen,

Outstanding job guys,

For this episode alone I would consider buying your DVD,

I'm a better person, DM and player because of your show, Kurt.

Thanks.

Fun gaming is 98% words and 2% numbers. Get the math, charts, unrealistic structure, and gamespeak out of it as much as possible! Keep the pace of play up, too. As a rough rule, something significant should be accomplished per every 3 hours (or less) of play time.

I loved the Gollum pose with the lightsaber! :)

I remember my first game was at school, in between classes, and it was awesome! Screw the rules, my ranger threw fireballs and had more charisma than dexterity! :p

But, more importantly, it was fun, and it was the slippery slope that got me into gaming in the first place.

This actually looks pretty good. While I have a lot of respect for Tracey and I certainly know he knows his stuff, I have to disagree with complexity not being fun. It's still very fun with a system like 3.5 if you have a DM that can run the game smoothly. It takes skill and experience not to let it become a page-flip quest for half the game to keep up with rules but a complex system allows for more realism and more fun when done right instead of feeling cheap and over-simplified.

AMEN.

[guitardbucket]

That was great.

Thanks for the review, I'm going down to my local game store to order this tonight.

[LuisureSuitLarry]

I think I'm going to buy this book.
