Well, you know next to nothing about D&D.


....Actually, Tunnels & Trolls was a lot more fun. Especially when you
consider that only D6's were used, and it was easy to get involved in
massive dice roll wars with 44-oz cups full of cheap gambling dice
thrown on tables that required 2-3 minutes to determine whether or not
you just beat the **** out of your opponent enough to earn a right to
tumble in the furs for a night with his favorite mistress :-)

....T&T was D&D for those of us who a) despised Gary Gygax and his "no
nukes or phasers" bull**** rules, and b) drank too much to give a ****
about DM guides and lookup tables and anally retentive rules. In
short, it was role-playing for those of us who wanted to just have fun
and not try to live the damn game.

That is, until FASA released their initial version of the Star Trek
TOS RPG...
