Hi, I too enjoyed your article about the play of the game. I did send Richard a short article about playing the game back then. I don't know what I did with it...
Hi all, ... Yet it surely had much to do with the spread of Monty Haul campaigns at the time. Steven the Rock's powered armor and other "magic" items was...
... That sounds like Wizard from The Fantasy Trip. We used to play Wizard and Melee between classes when I was in high school. We'd add Ogre and Rivets to the...
