The initial game was called "Arena", which was You Bet Your Life and your car for prizes on a closed track with multiple opponents. Last car rolling wins, or some other set of requirements. Without an RPG component, you don't need a Dungeon Master to play. Good fun for 11 year old boys buzzed on Jolt! cola and popcorn. <br /><br />http://www.tabletopempires.com.au/Car-Wars-Steve-Jackson-Games<br /><br />pdxr13Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-39237700941774719982015-11-24T10:46:19.548-08:002015-11-24T10:46:19.548-08:00Much appreciated !

I was burned out on fiction from Kindle Unlimited and need a short break.

Those who were into roleplaying games often continue playing decades later (I never stopped).<br /><br />One thing is that RPG players are harder to con and manipulate, it has been certified by psychologists and analysts.<br /><br />Check out my roleplaying universes :<br />Solsys (in french) : Sci-fi, over 300 pages, lots of pictures and 3D images<br />http://s508019140.onlinehome.fr/solsys/index.htm<br /><br />Solsys-Apocalypse (in french) : post-apocalyptic, much more modest<br />http://s508019140.onlinehome.fr/solsys-ap/index.htm<br /><br />And my most excellent survivalist & post-apocalyptic novel, "Glasses, Pulleys and the End of Bread" which James hasn't reviewed yet, probably because he's still dazzled by its goodness :) :<br />http://solsysbooks.blogspot.com/Avehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06508223217305671728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-63491249402342286442015-11-23T19:52:18.027-08:002015-11-23T19:52:18.027-08:00I totally agree, Table top pen and paper RPGs are ...I totally agree, Table top pen and paper RPGs are the way to go, they are basically communal story telling with rules that encourage imagination, problem solving (and creation), math, science, battles of wits, cooperation, and can be done with minimal supplies- some are so free form that all you need is a central referee to coordinate and resolve conflicts (no pen or paper or polyhedrons required). Some can be downloaded for free from the internet. <br />You can also spend tons of money on them if you get into them, but more practical preps are probably a better use of that money.JJGreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06708302086326564665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-33517736748012521382015-11-23T13:56:15.878-08:002015-11-23T13:56:15.878-08:00Wood carving, the new neon signs of the future.Wood carving, the new neon signs of the future.James M Dakinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01382139289994087931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-77269764817330707582015-11-23T13:03:21.693-08:002015-11-23T13:03:21.693-08:00Good article.
