Re: (TFT) The return of Ogre - Rick did something silly.

saw the video, good stuff.
I think there's two different experiences gamers want - some want a game 
world that is just as complex and intricate as the real world - or as close 
to it as they can come in a game / gaming  / RPG experience.  Those are the 
people with 150 page rulebooks and 5-page characters.  Then there's people 
who just want to have a loose but interesting plot line that give them an 
excuse to go wander around a dungeon killing things and taking their 
treasure.

I have to say, that _personally_, my real life is complicated and 
challenging enough, so I prefer a plot as thin as "Death Test" and a system 
as easy as Melee / Wizard.  Or "just kill the giant Ogre tank" or "Just 
drive the car and shoot all the other cars".  If I want complex, I just have 
to return to real life.

While I understand that people love to play such games on line, I like the 
use of paper and pencil, paper rules and those cheap graphics of Melee, 
Wizard, and Advanced M/W.

I also found my copy of Black Hole recently!

I agree with Joe.

Have a look at this video, that explains the continuity with DarkCityGames:
