Yes and Call of Cthulhu.
Used to love playing . Great deal of backstabbing and bizarre stuff from some of the players !
Last time I played was in 2019 with a couple of mates and their nephews. In D&D I always used to roll for a half elf ranger
OMG- Call of Cthulhu! I'd forgotten that- those were some weird afternoons/evenings
It’s basic - ish with luck involved but it’s competitive and gets me wound up! As there’s a piece called the robber - if you roll a 7 he comes into play and players use him to screw over others !
I think I still have the basic set - which was a rule book with some scenariosOMG- Call of Cthulhu! I'd forgotten that- those were some weird afternoons/evenings
Back in the day before smartphones and nintendos !OMG- Call of Cthulhu! I'd forgotten that- those were some weird afternoons/evenings
Used to (and still do) read SciFi and fantasy - play D&D and go to earls court shows - especially car ones and computer fares.
How times change
And not for the better
Haha yes! And now they are devoid of imagination and spend every waking hour in virtual worlds and with their faces buried in their smartphones. I’ve noticed most younger people I come across (inc members of my family) are actually quite stupid. Not academically - but in terms of how they talk interact and communicate and their level of literacy - hardly any actually read literature anymore and would look at me as if I’m mad if I said I play board games and ride old mountain bikesDo you remember the outcry at the time about the dangers of youths using their imaginations to inhabit other worlds?!
