Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded).

This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Anyone played Toon recently?

I haven't played Greg Costikyan's Toon game in many years, and I was thinking of at least one session of it with my nephews and niece after Christmas. Has anyone played it recently?  How has it held up?  

It seems like the scenarios should be updated to make for something more like modern cartoons, but aside from the art I think most parts would still fit.  (Plus the old Warner Bros cartoons are still classics the kids enjoy.)

I played it at Continuum this summer and it was as silly and enjoyable as it has ever been.

It's one of those games which throws everything you ever knew about roleplaying games out of the window.

Basically, you can't powergame, grandstand, storygame or do anything except have fun for an hour or two.

I probably couldn't play it for more than one session, to be honest, as it would probably drive me crazy. But, for one game every 10 years or so, it is a lot of fun.
