If everything goes right - planets aligning, etc. - and we can clear a night on everyone's schedule there's a good chance that two of my buddies from my high school days (1987-1991) will be doing some role-playing with some other guys rounded up by my cousin. Technically, it's not the whole "band" - it will only be Jamie and Travis - but it should be cool anyway. We used to play all sorts of rpg's and video games together back in the day. It would be cool to game again with these guys.
I met Jamie in the second grade - that's a looooonnnnnngggggg time ago - and we discovered D&D together with the Basic Set. We played as much as possible and missed a lot of sleep growing up...lol.. We moved on to other games including Car Wars, Gamma World, GURPS, Palladium Fantasy, & Talislanta.
I met Travis through Jamie. Travis introduced us to RIFTS. I still remember looking through the rulebook that first time. I couldn't help but think of Gamma World and all the fun Jamie and I used to have with that game.
I'm not sure what we are going to play once we do get a game night organized. Jamie and I have talked of trying out Castles & Crusades because it would be both familiar to AD&D but the rules are streamlined; I'm not saying the rules are better but they are easier to understand. Of course, we might just dust off an old favorite like RIFTS. I have the RIFTS Ultimate Edition that I have yet to run. I'm also considering really rules-light such as Microlite74 or something similar. To tell the truth, the game system really isn't that important but getting the chance to game with some old buddies is what's really important. Regardless of the system used I'm sure we'll have fun. First, we all just have to get a free night.
Fingers crossed...
