    I loved my Dino Riders lunch box more than is probably healthy for a piece of plastic used for holding sandwiches. I think I cried when the picture peeled off after about 5 years of daily use.


    oh samuel

    nobody can ever take your spot as crazy person on this forum

    or in my heart

    Admit it, you're just saying that because of my exceptionally hairy body.

    I never had a hankering for Lego. Sure I used to get one of those big bucket of Lego and I tstill think I have it somewhere. Mostly I was into Transformers and the Dinobots. Then there were the Dinosaur toys which then led to the Dino-Riders which then waned. I started on Anime and Manga at 13.

    Oh yeah, I have s ton load of those Plastic Army men. Man it was like WW3 or something. I would pic out countries from the atlus, right who represented what and just play. Man that was fun. In the end the hero (of course there would be one) would be standing on a pile of dead soldiers. I never understood why people hurt the soldiers, they can be so much fun without breaking or destorying them.

    How hard is Brikwars to play?

    It seems fairly complex but I've got a friend with tons of Legos and he'd probably enjoy playing Brikwars.

    pretty simple, if you just remember that every single rule in it, with one exception, is only a suggestion.

    THe only exception: the Rule of Fudge, which states that if it is awesome and you can get away with it, then go for it.

    Basically, skim the ruleset but use your best judgment from playing other tabletop games instead of taking forever trying to figure out if you can or can't do it.

    Okay cool.

    I hope he has enough minifigs. I know he has enough briks to build an armored legion.

    You don't need any minifigs if you don't want. You can build an entire Mech army.

    Remember, the rules are completely arbitrary and subject to the whims of random fits of This Would Be Awesome.[/QUOT]Well as long as it's not just saying "Hey my tank is shooting your space shuttle, KPOW you lose." And actually has some rules behind it I think I'll like it.

    I'm not a rules lawyer, but I like to follow them as best I can when they are there.

    Do they have rules for magic?

    We'll call them Crazy Cosmic Army Dudes From The Cosmos In Mass Disarray And Shitâ„¢.

    But then, we need another bad guy army, so we'll have, like, big green dudes with sharp teeth and muscles and stuff.

    there are rules for fucking everything, go look at the fuckin website.

    But they're only suggestions, remember. At any time you can freely change them and do whatever you want.

    Seriously, read through the rules. The guy that wrote them is fucking hilarious.
