It could be old, it could be new.<BR/><BR/>RPGs, especially long ones are just an experience themselves (he says looking forward to his next <I>Call of Cthulhu</I> session in a campaign that has been running off and on for two decades).Fraserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09062395288187308895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14856978.post-1139339688451375432006-02-07T11:14:00.000-08:002006-02-07T11:14:00.000-08:00Excellent article.

I have felt that many times. <BR/><BR/>ASL has a lot more replayability than other games, but it falls into the same problem of eventually getting stale. After years of non-stop Squad Leader + all expansions, I have no real desire to play anymore. <BR/><BR/>I am like Coldfoot, the experience is trying a lot of new games and dragging out the best ones from time to time.<BR/><BR/>Steve Bernhardt<BR/>Wargamer66Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14856978.post-1139334588692600652006-02-07T09:49:00.000-08:002006-02-07T09:49:00.000-08:00I think the great thing about Boardgames is that y...I think the great thing about Boardgames is that you don't need to be obsessed with them and can start, play, and finish a game in one sitting (no preparation required). <BR/><BR/>There are some hybrid (expandable) boardgames out there that have attempted to combine the best elements of customization within the framework of a board (look at Duel of Ages, Dungeon Twister, Runebound and Navia Dratp for example).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14856978.post-1139331526176278302006-02-07T08:58:00.000-08:002006-02-07T08:58:00.000-08:00I, for one, find the game experience to be learnin...I, for one, find the game experience to be learning a new game, not mastering the old one.Coldfoothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11636345146138362966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14856978.post-1139306559949644602006-02-07T02:02:00.000-08:002006-02-07T02:02:00.000-08:00I was actually thinking about that.

I guess generic wargamers have to answer the same questions that Eurogamers do, but ASL is a very rich experience.<BR/><BR/>I suppose the "preparation" experience of ASL is memorizing the damn rulebooks.<BR/><BR/>YehudaYehuda Berlingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16038826060312027387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14856978.post-1139306352472229912006-02-07T01:59:00.000-08:002006-02-07T01:59:00.000-08:00What about ASL? :-)What about ASL? :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
