As a fearless leader of a crew of 8 who won the Orccon'86 3-D AD&D ENCOUNTER
competition, I will accept the congratulations and monetary donations
at the above address...
Seriously, tho'... Folks, I ***HATE*** D&D and AD&D. But, as always in
any gaming system, a group of good players and a good DM make even the
worst system playable. Even D&D.
The 3-D D&D is not a new idea. 3-D Castle has been a regular installment
in Southern California gaming Conventions for over 3 years. This year
there were 3-D Castle ( a 6-7 level castle with a 2 level dungeon ),
2 3-D Encounter boards ( surface and 1 underground level), and the dreaded
3-D MONSTER MASH - a 12 hour marathon( a VERY long bridge to a heavily
defended castle, over 50 players, 1,000,000 exp. or gp. equipped characters,
anything goes!) in wich only 6 out of over 50(?) players got inside the
castle gates after 10 hours of combat -- just to get skewered by the
castle inhabitants.... Urgh!..
If you have NEVER played a 3-D game (no matter what system) -- you missed
half the fun of gaming. It is the best marriage of the miniature combat
with role playing...
.... And I won!
