I still have the orange cover 'deluxe edition' from 1991, and that's probably all I'll ever need!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7248583416968734703.post-16487264535978504322009-04-03T15:05:00.000-04:002009-04-03T15:05:00.000-04:00Toon was fantastic!

Brilliant. <BR/><BR/>Didn't a re-release of it come out a few years ago? Great stuff in the beer and pretzels vein.

I ha...Aha - I actually played TWERPS once or twice. I had a buddy in... I want to say it was in junior high... anyway, he loved the idea behind roleplaying games, but just didn't 'get it'. He was one of those guys always asking where the board was to move your piece around... *sigh*<BR/><BR/>Because we were good friends, I ended up springing for the TWERPS - Fly By Knights setting from my own pocket money (I'd remembered seeing ads for it in SHADIS, I believe). It was pretty fun from what I recall, and the maps and chits and such helped my pal come to terms with what was going on and learn the basics. We eventually moved on to another relatively simple game, Toon from Steve Jackson Games, and then finally I got him going on D&D.<BR/><BR/>I've lost touch with this friend over the years, but I'd like to think I started him out on some sort of life-long obsession in RPG's... and TWERPS is to blame.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
