so you roleplayed a Boardgame. I have done that and modified the rules on so
many games in order to have some more fun. This I think, IMHO, is excellent
and can still be used in conjunction with the game. But enough of this.
What games are popular in the year 205x??? We have Magic: Whatever you want
to call it. MK3(Personally I think it is awful the way they have just kept
this one going and going and going...)(In fact what is next? MK4 The Family
;) ) Sorry bad pun.. But really what are the popular games of the time
period. Probably, IMHO something along the lines of VR-doom or something but
has anyone done anything like this or found anything on it?
