The Fog of War #1

You know, I'd forgotten about our home-brew TMNT game until he mentioned it, but now I can remember putting together all of the animal stats. I think we used 40k attributes because it was the only attribute-based game we knew at the time.

And at that point, I don't think we knew the rules to Warhammer -- we just had bought some figures with the stats listed on the back.
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier.

See, I've always been a gamer, rather than an artist.  Me and my friends were poor and couldn't afford armies (well, some of us, at least), but we loved the game.  We proxied everything and anything.  The only thing I could afford was the army books (I own almost the entire line of 4th/5th Armies books).

I loved building strong armies (in my mind) and then using them to tactically destroy my opponents.  That was my favourite part of the game - choosing game plans which, through strategical merit, could win.

I'm a gamer as well, for tabletop. But RPGs - aaahhhhh. So many campaigns and characters I've devised (and statted) but will never get to play.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)
