From what you wrote, I think you will love D.W.Bradley's Wizardry 6 and 7. It has phased combat, it is strongly combat oriented, it is not a typical fantasy setting (it is mostly fantasy but... ok I won't spoil it for you. :) If you liked Arcanum, you'll like these two, specially Wiz7), and both
Hi, picked up a boxed SQ 6 yesterday. I THINK it is new, box looks perfect under the shrink. The shrink itself has lines on top, bottom, and left side, none on right (lines are straight). Anyone have a new one they could compare this to? It is available for trade/sale by the way. Also got a
Hey gang,
I won an auction the other day on Ebay, and last

We have a similar issue here in Canada as anything that comes in with a
value of more than CAN $20 (or CAN $60 if it's declared as a gift) is
taxed at 15%. I've actually had items shipped to me where the seller
had declared a higher value than the eBay auction value, thinking it

Actually, the Atari 2600 was by far the most popular
console ever in this country, so games (and consoles)
are abundant. And since the conversion rate is 2.8 it
means games are 2.8 times cheaper for you
