  6. Claytonian JP It's fine with me. It's RPG, it's old, and we are a low traffic group. As long as someone is not spamming a bunch of groups I don't mind a general interest post

  7. Klint Finley Things like this remind me of when I first got into RPGs, when all of the information you received on product lines was intermittent, via unrelated print media and word of mouth. Not saying that situation was better or worse than today's internet age, but it was different.
