Five of the best games I've ever played, as a bundle for $5.00.

Baldurs' Gate 1 and 2
Icewind Dale 1 and 2
Planescape: Torment
The Temple of Elemental Evil

If you are into this kind of stuff, it's the best quality time for your money you're ever likely to get outside of Taiwanese hookers, and a hell of a lot less risky.
Hey, what about Eye of the Beholder?
Yellowjacket (835 D(B))

You can get that as freeware on abandonia.com
Yellowjacket (835 D(B))

Really though, if you've never played Torment that game alone is worth more than $5.00.
I still have the hard copy module of Temple of Elemental Evil (D&D, not PC).
Yellowjacket (835 D(B))

Haha I already own 5 of these games, but I have no expansions. That and I'm not sure the oldest ones will work on windows 7.

Temple is the one I haven't played. Any good?

Oh, nm I misunderstood. You played the original greyhawk pen and paper one.

YJ you just gave me something to do with my day off tomorrow. Thank you :) Also, I really miss table top D&D. We have almost all the 2nd edition and a bunch of the 3rd. But le sigh our gaming group broke up and moved away.

I say we go buy an island and all move there. Then we can spend all day playing board games and the losers have to go hunt/scavenge food for us.

Australia
steephie22 (182 D(S))

How much would that cost and how much people do we have? Then we can calculate the costs per person.
steephie22 (182 D(S))
18 Dec 13 UTC
Australia is a good economic choice, because we can rent at least half the island while still having enough room for all the geeks.

Fantasy Island. YJ and Krellin can take turns playing Hervé Villechaize's role, with a minor tweak.

Dragon's Lance was a very good series, as D & D modules, not the books. But I don't think you can get them for 5 bucks
Yellowjacket (835 D(B))
19 Dec 13 UTC
Are you talking about the computer games, or the pen and paper?

Cuz you can get all 3 dragonlance SSI games as freeware easily too.

krellin (80 DX)

Forum D&D would be an interesting concept indeed, and I would be down with it. Generating die rolls would be the largest hurdle I would think. We could put character sheets into Google docs for the DM. I'd definitely buy a family-sized bag of cheetos and make sure thee is enough ice in the fridge to keep the caffeine delivery substance chilled.
Of course I rolled 18/00, are you questioning my integrity?

Newbie question
Is it considered bad form to take advantage of the situation when a player appears to have left a game? More specifically is it bad form to resubmit orders just prior to a turn ending when it that player won't be submitting orders? Just wondering about the etiquette of that scenario on this site. Thanks in advance!

Money Philosophy
Liberals: Always focused on how to get other people's money, how to take money away from "rich" to give to others that have not earned it, but are somehow "owed" it (because they were born).

Conservatives: Focused on how to grow personal wealth, improve one's self and be financially self-reliant so as to not burden others.
