*grins* I remember being in a town that was soooo small that we didn't even have a bookstore, or a library. I had to call friends in another city to find out stuff like that.

Back in the days when games cost $10 and a boxed set was like $20

D&D were the most expensive, and Traveller came in little black books with a stripe of color on the cover.

Sigh...I miss the old dsys some times

Yep, I remember when I played Star Fleet Battles in High Scholl and College. I would practically lay the local gaming store under siege to learn when the newest supplements would come out. I also remember looking for supplements for the old FASA system as well.
