So FaWtL: I have manipulated the Revised Cortex System into a variant of the D&D/3.5 Game based off of a whim when I was looking at an old Hordes of the Underdark walk-through book.
I need some people to test it.
Anyone want to build characters? I'll either post them here, or PM you the relevant rules, based on what you all think/want. Or, I'll start a new thread somewhere.
Any takers?
No one? Alas...

It was our annual HEMA get-together/tournament today, and it was heaps and heaps of fun. About 80 people turned up (which is a lot for a very niche activity in the North of England), someone in our club won the sabre competition, I won one fight 5-0 (a rapier fight, which was pretty good going considering I'd handled one exactly twice before today) and lost all the rest, by differing margins, and also managed to half-sword someone in the ribs with the same rapier.
I've always wanted to pull that move off - basically, we were grappling, I made my opponent drop his weapon and kept hold of mine, then let go of him, grabbed the blade of my sword in the middle and skewered him with it - but have never managed it before. I still lost, but I was very pleased with myself.
I am now going to have to buy a rapier, to fill the aching void in my existence that has opened up as a result.

No, we're talking about the same one. They did nothing wrong. It was my memory of which company.
You may also be missing information on how this happened in the first place.
My hard drive died a short while back, taking most of my stuff with it. I was trying to find out which accounts had which games.
Turns out I'm signed up with: Steam, GOG, Origin, and Game Stop. I'd forgotten the last until I found the Game Stop Uninstaller in my BWN folder, which I'd successfully saved in an external hard drive (though I only just rediscovered this fact in the post you quoted).
Basically my computer died and took all my games with it and in trying to discover where those games came from, I found that I'd backed one up. That's all. Thanks!
(GOG has been great.)
Ah, I see said the blind man!
Yeah, I didn't even know that Game Stop sold digital games online, Learn something new every day! :)
One of my college buddies from back in the day convinced me to buy some stuff on GOG, ( I only refuse to use steam because of my die-hard-anti-online-only stance, although I hear they are changing that now?) AND I wish he hadn't, because as I said, I have bought too much stuff already that I will never play, much less complete, ;P
Now on with your regularly scheduled post thread,... :)

Well, no one here asked, but too bad!
... with the basics. I'll get to my variant system in a bit. :D

Is it hard to learn? I am currently between games and that might be fun.

One of the reasons I'd suck at real fencing is that I'd keep trying to do my old playground killer-move (picked up from an episode of The Phantom) - feint right, then toss the stick (since it was in the playground) over to your left hand and thrust home. Worked every time, but I suspect that a proper fencer would just smirk and collect his hit.

I am 36... I am feeling a bit weird.
It had been ages since I held a woman's hand and comforted her while she was crying.
It had been ages since a woman sat on my lap so very not sober and discussed philosophy and things with me.
It had been ages since I slept on a couch in someone's else place and returned home in the afternoon of the next day after party.

I shall try that next Wednesday - in the name of Science! - and let you know how I get on.
EDIT: Happy birthday, Drejk :)

:D THE SUPERVISOR I DON'T LIKE JUST COMMITTED A HUGE EMPLOYMENT LAW VIOLATION RIGHT IN FRONT OF OUR UNION REP! It's like Christmas, Halloween, and St. Patrick's Day all rolled into one! It's so amazingly glorious!
So a well-built bearded gentleman in a sled pulled by leprechauns has just dropped pumpkins filled with sweeties and Guinness down your chimney?
That sounds alright :D

Of course the trouble with being married to a foodie is when said foodie tries something and then dislikes it. The Wife substituted oatmeal for bread since she did not have enough bread. I REALLY like the meatloaf even with oatmeal instead of bread, but she doesn't. Oh well. Lunch for me and some goes to my mom who WILL enjoy it.
