This Dork Tower completely sums up my feelings about the Golden Age of Gaming.

We did die during character generation.. and we liked it!

I wonder if isomeme has ever had this chat with madelineusher

Gold, they were plated with gold...

I remember all that. Colouring dice with crayons, dying during character gen, bad miniatures...er, I wasn't so much with the breasts though. I'm bi but just barely.

Oh, of course we have. She loved the idea of dying during char gen, by the way.

Qualfying with the stats and background for the Paladin sub-class from Unearthed Arcana, you remember, the one with the advanced requirements due to having to qual as a Cavalier, first?

And then dying because of a background roll.

Oh yeah, I miss THAT like the bubonic plague. Come to think of it, THAT'S WHAT IT WAS. (grin)
