Jason, I think we should ask around with WAMALUG since I know that many of them have LOTS of baseplates. Jeff Stemble comes to mind. His baseplate collection excels my entire LEGO brick collection in cubic inches. I will only be able to be at (...) (22 years ago, 13-Jun-02, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.gaming)

Hello all, I'd like to propose a theme for a BrikWars battle at Brickfest this year. If there is enough interest (say, 3 players that are coming and willing to build stuff), I'd love to play a scenario that centers around a modern tank / infantry (...)

I know a lot of people have reservations about the d20 system. It is far from perfect, and has its own peculiar brand of illogic (hey, paladin, why dont you put on the sorcerer's Cloak of Charisma so you can heal more damage) but still manages to do (...) (22 years ago, 31-May-02, to lugnet.gaming)
