looks like a proboards problem to me. I'm sure GBB and the Grog Tavern will be back soon.

[color=yellow]TRAVELLER INFLUENCE[/color]: "No other rpg except D&D has influenced current gaming more than Classic Traveller." [i]- Kellri[/i]

[color=yellow]GROGNARD GEARHEADS[/color]:"Building anything for Traveller is a blast. Just make sure you've got a spreadsheet and a college education. Traveller is built for REAL MEN. There's none of that freeform prose for pussies you'll see in other games." [i]- Kellri[/i]

[color=yellow]THE DUNGEON GESTALT[/color] - D&D is primal fetishism. It makes relics out of old character sheets and totems out of a stack of hardback rulebooks. The dungeon crawl itself is a ritual with no obligation to make sense beyond the circle of participants. In that sense, it's a lot like a cave painting of some ancient hunt. It's a convergence of random events in a controlled setting that forms the basis of a heroic tale in the minds of the participants. Powerful and primitive social magic that can't be reliably explained but only experienced. And IMO, a much more 'real' experience than the forced plot you see in most 'storyteller' games. [i]- Kellri[/i]

[color=yellow]GAMING-Back To The Basics[/color]:"It was a helluva romp in the 70s. The choices were D&D in the white box, Traveller in the black box, or if we wanted something really bizarre, Empire of the Petal Throne in the colourful box! ...You know... it's stunning. Between them, those three games cover so much ground, everything since has been footnotes and elaborations." [i]- pyratejohn[/i]

It was a casualty during a simulated attack between Vendikar and Emeniar VII. It had 24 hours to report to the disintegration booth, and did so patriotically. ;)

Why didn't it just take the guard's weapon and shoot the disintegration booth like a Vulcan at an Andorian-shooting contest? :?

Well, you saw what a lousy plot that turned out to be, didn't you?

Looks like Kirk rubbed their noses in the horror of war...

ProBoards maintenance, it looks like. Probably a crash, since they usually notify us when it's a scheduled event.
