SPECIAL NOTICE
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). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
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.

This has become more or less my default means of deciding if I (and my players) will like a game.  If the character sheet is too long or too busy or seems too complex, it generally means the game will be too crunchy for us.  I don't want to be flipping through a 4-5 page character sheet all the time.  Nor do I want every situation to be decided by a dice roll from a raft of skills.

Exactly, 3 pages should do at most, with all the stats easy to find with a quick glance.

It would have been nice, if you could have kept a few of those OD&D modules.  Instead of having a total selloff, you could have told yourself you were being "selective"; to help ease the pain of loss, a little.  But, many of us have been there before.....

Yeah, but there were other issues I needed taking care of. Perhaps I'll try again someday.

Sometimes it's legit (I'll buy this thing but run it with another system) and other times...  it's LOTR.

How many editions of LOTR do I have to buy before I realize I will never run it, in ANY system?

The only Middle Earth system I've really run is MERP, and I still own pretty much the whole run of the game.  But I've purchased at least something for every other LOTR system and the only one we really even tried to play was TOR 2e and we just didn't like it.  I sold most of the stuff I got from KS, but I still have Ruins of the Lost Realm and the leatherette core book if you're interested....
