This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Age of Fable;310624Danger, your avatar seems to really like the idea of that box set.

Eh, what can I say?  I like box sets.

When I'm not humping my "Way of D'Era (whatever)," Romulan Box set or my "Starfleet Academy," box set, both from the late, beloved Last Unicorn Games, I'm lovingly running my hands over my 2300AD boxed sets, my "Berserker," board game and my complete set of Space Hulk materials and thinking bad thoughts.

I'm beginning to think the wife suspects something, though, as she has expressed discomfort at having to put a box on her head all of the time [BTW, I'm using the box art for Mayfair's DC Roleplaying Game for this...activity].
I start from his boots and work my way up. It takes a good half a roll to encompass his jolly round belly alone. Soon, Father Christmas is completely wrapped in clingfilm. It is not quite so good as wrapping Roy but it is enjoyable nonetheless and is certainly a feather in my cap.

In the Labyrinth, Advanced Melee, Advnced Wizard, a reversible map (hex one-side, off-set squares the other), an adventure (with a "dungeon" map more along the lines of a D&D adventure), sheets of good and thick counters with at least a complete set of the creatures in the adventure.

Good one. I'd buy this one too.

The TFT2 is a good enough idea... But Howard Thompson (who holds the rights) seems to have up and disappeared.

The main problem with government is the difficulty of pressing charges against its directors.

Given a choice of two out of three M&Ms, the human brain subconsciously tries to justify the two M&Ms chosen as being superior to the M&M not chosen.

Alas, he bugged out just when TFT was getting going.

'Box of Holding' would actually be a cool name for a D&D box set.
free resources:
Teleleli The people, places, gods and monsters of the great city of Teleleli and the islands around.
Age of Fable \'Online gamebook\', in the style of Fighting Fantasy, Lone Wolf and Fabled Lands.
Tables for Fables Random charts for any fantasy RPG rules.
Fantasy Adventure Ideas Generator
Cyberpunk/fantasy/pulp/space opera/superhero/western Plot Generator.
Cute Board Heroes Paper \'miniatures\'.
Map Generator
Dungeon generator for Basic D&D or Tunnels & Trolls.

The Savage Worlds Explorer's Edition and all the Companions in a "Book Set" style "box". (The one where they side in and out of the side.)

-= AND =-
All four Daring Tales of Adventure in their own but same style "box".

1st Edition Legend of the Five Rings Ultimate Box Set:

Main Book with all additional schools, Advantages/Dis., Skills, Ancestors and fluff added into the main book, GM Survival Guide with optional rules, random rolling charts etc, Ryoko Owarii detailed campaign setting, Winds and Fortunes custom dice, 6 Character Travelogues...

I could go on really... If all of the material for 1st Edition could fit in a well edited and organized box, I'd be a happy GM.
Running:
Dungeon Crawl Classics (influences: Elric vs. Mythos, Darkest Dungeon, Castlevania).
DCC In Space!
Star Wars with homemade ruleset (Roll&Keep type system).

NM: all of it could... at 5pt helvetica.

If you dropped MOST of the fluff, you could fit all the schools, families, and clans in a decent 2" thick box 9x12"... say, a 24pp booklet for each major clan, and a 16 for each minor clan. A 32 page core book (skill descriptions, basic rules) and a 64 page magic book, and a 32 page general setting book.

lessee  448 total pages. about 2" thick. Yup.
