May 6, 2008 by Dave

I had owned several of the individual issues before […]

As I mentioned in my Retro-Stupid post, I feel that 4e is knowingly taking a step toward embracing the aspect of the early versions of the game that were fun while doing away with some of their unfun legacy (fun and unfun being completely subjective concepts; I think it is at the heart of many […]
