Review: Dungeons and Dragons Roleplaying Game Starter Set
Well, everyone, here's part one of my review of the new Starter Set. Part one will focus on what's actually in the box, while part two will say what it's like to actually play the game.
The game came in a cardboard box, with all these plastic sausage things in it. They're fun.
I got the game off a really good site called GamesLore.com, if anyone's interested.
The box itself is bigger than I imagined. I pictured a small yet
We were all new at one point. A lot of the time, when we were new, we said things that now really embarrass us.
A lot of the staff were new at one point. I've taken a look way back, to find some of the earliest posts by our staff members.
By the way, I mean no offense to any of the staff. It's just a bit of fun.
Any staff that don't have a quote is because I couldn't find anything.
This first one comes from Bonesii, in what I think was a quiz topic:
The next one is from our
This is a cry for help going out to all RPers.
Some of you veterans may remember the BZPRPG Wiki. It sort of died.
You can see where this is going.
I have created a Wiki for all RPGs on BZP. It had a few articles, but I deleted them to clear it up, start again.
Both me and BZP member Shyyrn are Sysops - the Wiki word for Admins. Any questions, PM me, or ask here.
Please, it's in desperate need of articles. I aim to have this as the ultimate reference guide for RPers. Have characters? Ma
Had an old CD, thought I'd play with it. There's a video on it.
Anyway, I covered it in fingerprints, ran it along a carpet, and played frizbee with it. It still worked.
Maybe CDs are a lot tougher than we think they are?
Sorry 'bout the Linux entry. It'll happen.
Anyway, I got Kopaka Phantoka today - believe it or not, my first '08 set!
I think it's pretty good, actually. I'm one of those freaks who misses the gears, so I'm still annoyed that it's going action-figurish. However, I'm glad that his mask at least slightly resembles his Nuva form - although I don't like the red thing. The wings are pretty cool, and the Midak is massive! It does, however, make balancing Kopaka quite tricky.
He's a pretty
Got another approval today, this time from KajI.
Seems the 'Time to Embarrass the Staff' entry's really popular. There's another round of 'em coming up soon, by the way.
Yo, doods. Time for the long-awaited part 2! I waited until we had two play sessions in before writing this.
Anyway, unfortunately, I won't be able to say much about it, due to spoilers. However:
The adventure that comes with it is called 'Beneath the Village of Harken'. It's called a short adventure, but we've got about an hour and a half out of it so far and are about half way, so it should last a fair while.
It's mostly combat, but we have a had a few interesting Roleplaying bits. To

My good friend, Lesovikk-Nuva : Toa of ?, came in this morning and handed me a lump of paper. I thought it was just him being himself.
But then I opened it, and there was a TNGM! Gasp!
Anyway, he'd got it off The_Sim, I think. The best part? I don't owe him anything.
Cheers, Les-Noov.
Anyone else have one of these? If so, how'd you get it?
Still no entries on the poetry contest a bit down the page. Come on!
A couple of friends and me have started learning how to play Dungeons and Dragons, 4th Edition. I shall be posting a review of the Starter Set soon. I got it yesterday.
Wow. Look at that. It's a Blog!
Anyway, I signed up for Premier Membership yesterday. And it's been approved already!
Anyway, what are you supposed to do on a blog? I'm not so sure. Here's a list of things I've seen people do with their Blogs. Not all on BZP. Talk about their daily life. Make an intelligent argument about something. Moan, whinge, groan, gurn, and other related things. Make contests. Talk utter nonsense. Boast. Right. Quite a nice list. Hows about I try all of these, and
Hi, everybody!
"Hi, Dr. Nick!"
Anyway, this blog's looking very boring. I'll have to do something about that. Right. Hmm.
I'll do that tomorrow.
Anyway, I've made a Wiki all about the RPGs here on BZP. It's actually pretty good, but only me and Shyyrn are contributing.
Anyway, you can find it here. Hope you like it.
Until next time!
I've made myself one of those Flash banner thingies. Y'know, the ones that change?
Here 'tis:

Likey?
A while ago, I bought the Bahrag (and some other stuff) off the member Anthony Dalek. I've finally got around to building the blue one (Gahdok, I think) and I'm very pleased. It's a nice, complex build, and they're great fun to play with. One wee thing I've noticed, though, about the older sets in general.
So, I've been a Bionicle fan since the start. I remember a lot of stuff newer fans won't. And I remember when I first saw the Bahrag. It was in a Lego Magazine - I wasn't on BZP until 2003
I'm starting up a podcast here on BZP. This was planned a year ago, but never got off the ground. You can audition for it now.
Live from BZ-Koro is back!
Picked up Half-Life 2 today, for 98p in Game - sort of like GameStop.
98p! That's about $2? Pretty cheap if you ask me.
Anyway, it keeps freezing up. Apparently it's got something to do with the Source Engine. Has anyone else had this problem, and do they know a way to fix it?
