Redbox Hack

If you're a roleplaying gamer, and especially if you cut your teeth and killed your first orcs on one of the old TSR Dungeons & Dragons boxed sets, you HAVE to check out this game.

Redbox Hack is without a doubt one of the best little homebrew games around. We've had a lot of fun here in the tomb using it to replay ancient and battered D&D modules from the Dark Ages.

And by the way, if you lost or sold your copy of Palace of the Silver Princess, you can get a copy of the original item from Wizards of the Coast. Way to go, dudes!

And just so I don't lose my train of thought again...

If it hadn't been for D&D, I wouldn't have discovered Gamma World. And if it hadn't been for Gamma World I wouldn't have discovered Traveller and Twilight: 2000. And if it hadn't been for Twilight: 2000, I wouldn't have been nearly as interested in learning how to forage, scavenge, or otherwise live off the land.

So, there ya go.

Oh, and didya see Cloverfield? Cool monster. Lame story. But cool monster. And cool monsters are just...cool...
