Besides the Talislanta ads, the Amber Diceless RPG ads also sucked me in. I guess it's no surprise that I bought both the Talislanta "Big Blue Book" version as well as Amber DRPG!

And while they may not have had elves per say, they had plenty of beings that filled that niche, except they were purple or something. I do live in Austin, though.<br />The WOTC edition, years before they bought D&D, had an into by Jack Vance and I always thought that playing it through a Vancian lens would be a good fit for the game.GrayPumpkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12776658442266878498noreply@blogger.com
