Scott posts about a friend who is starting to play Dungeons & Dragons again. This is geeky, yes, but less geeky than video games, I’d say. I can trace a lot of things I use in my personal and professional life every day to the D&D games I ran from fifth through eighth grade — writing and public speaking, certainly, but also organization and team-leading.
A new edition of D&D is due out this summer. For you science-fiction gamers, a new edition of Traveller is due out in a few weeks. (I’ve already ordered my copy and got a nice email back from Traveller’s author, Marc Miller.)
Another version of Traveller? I still think that the original version was the best. I have that and GURPS Traveller which is pretty good.
My understanding is that the upcoming Traveller release will be more similar to the original.
whoa that brings back memories. ESPECIALLY traveller…very cool.
