I used to do 3D animation on the Amiga with 8mb of RAM... and it was top of the line.

My first car could be filled for less than $5 with gas .25. Remember when cars were made of steel? You couldn't dent the hood by leaning on it? And remember when your mom would wash clothes and the dryer was the sun and a breeze, outside, on a clothes line?

Yeah, there are still a few Sinclair stations around Minnesota, but they've never been that big around here, either. The best I can remember gas being at was about 85 cents a gallon back in the 80s.

Reading Glasses. I need reading glasses.

Denny must be a young pup.

Back on topic (again):
You remember when GURPS was The Fantasy Trip, and published in teeny tiny booklets by Metagaming - and not all of it ever came out.

The Auld Grump

"The Ringbearer" was my intro to tabletop gaming. Never played it, but it did lead me to buy my first minis.
It was all downhill from there

You played Avalon Hill's Waterloo, and felt that Sid Meier was copying Avalon Hill when he came out with Civilization. (Ye gods, I miss Avalon Hill. )

The Auld Grump

Or, better yet, you STILL regularly play Avalon Hill's Civilization.

Or you still have the Western Expansion Board.

Or you were one of the lucky few that actually got the Eastern Expansion Board.

You owned City State of the Invincible Overlord on cheap newsprint paper, and curled your lip in a sneer at what Mayfair was trying to palm off as the City State.

You had subscriptions to Different Worlds, Pegasus, and Dungeoneer's Journal. You remember the wax impregnated covers of Arcane.

You can remember White Dwarf having articles for D&D, Call of Cthulhu, Runequest, and Judge Dredd. You still remember how to calculate a Monster Mark, and what it represents.

You were in an issue of Alarums & Excursions.

The Auld Grump

You bought and played the first printing of the original TRAVELLER Little Black Books - before all those other LBBs for Adventurers and Supplements strted showing up.
[Huzzah for Marc Miller doing Edition 5 on Kickstarter going back to basics from those LBBs, though its a mega 600-page Big Black Book.]

As this thread rolls on, this 48 year old feels younger and younger, sorry Grump.

You use the word "old" (or a derivative like "auld") as part of your user name!

What the heck with fiendfoundry?

The upcoming is the closest to an official line now. Faction packs I think are good...although with the way the game itself is designed, I am not sure how the secondary/singles market will play out.

Yeh, with only 1 new sculpt per set and the rest being repaints, it's a tough sell.

Singles might do okay.
