(...) Apparently just short of 2 hours :) (...) I just want to note that I was joking about the red and green. I don't want to portray myself as a Martha Stewart reading, Ikea visiting nutball, but red and green were the only two colours apart from (...) (22 years ago, 28-Jun-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

" Re: My robot is UGLY." AND... its mother dresses it funny! (I have no idea if that's true but it needed saying) Brickwars uses only 6 sided dice and then only as the whim of the GM dictates. None of these funny 4 sided thingamabobbies. Fear not, (...) (22 years ago, 28-Jun-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Brikwars is in a similar vein to DnD, but much more oriented towards fun. ie If in your turn you want to do something that's not in the rules, do it anyway, and the result will be determined by how funny / silly / just plain ludicrous it is.
