I have Crime Fighter, it's a blast. I put something together for it in the mid/late 2000s. If I recall, campaigns are even organized into "Seasons."

That's great! I've never even heard of it!
This is a game about killing things and taking their stuff so you can become more powerful in order to kill bigger things and take even better stuff.

Inferno: Come on! That's was Vicar's Head, a completely different doomed village!
Rex: I can move to the wait list to let someone else into the game.

I always knew someone must have played those games :)
A game for every person, a person for every game.

I wonder if anyone remembers this one:

More of a "new school" thing: https://www.metallica.com/news/2022-07- ... -four.html.

I loved getting a new set of figures in the mail or at the store. The ral partha lords of chaos I remember particularly. Need to find the add with the balrogs pulling them.

Am I the only one to realize after 40 years or whatever that the name of this cleric from Vault of the Drow below is actually an anagram of Arachnid (more or less)? :) Maybe I should keep this to myself ;)

Yeah. Read the Hill Giant Chief's name from G1 backwards along with the description and you'll get a nasty surprise... :?

Ouch! I guess the editor and publisher were on Gary's side at that time. That's crazy.

Heh heh. Gary signed the paychecks. They were all on his side. ;)
Good stuff though. Love seeing stuff like this and the blotomus!
