Oddly enough, the Spanish version of the Darkstryder boxed set was a hardcover sourcebook with maps and cards bound in...an interesting alternative to a complicated, component-filled boxed set.Peter Schweighoferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04572819535383879995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333965379660280891.post-15553555303629434102019-02-06T11:33:28.578-05:002019-02-06T11:33:28.578-05:00At least SJG was near gamer-volunteers.

My first RPG ever...the Star Trek Roleplaying Games by FASA. And just recently I picked up a boxed set of Star Trek Adventures by Modiphius. It was neat to open it up and see the goodies like in the good ol' days.Grimacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09543990340544876722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333965379660280891.post-37334070919964942722019-02-05T13:23:54.264-05:002019-02-05T13:23:54.264-05:00When I worked at Steve Jackson Games, the closest ...When I worked at Steve Jackson Games, the closest I got to a "boxing night" was helping to haul already-filled Dino Hunt sets out of an overheated steel shipping container in the August heat of Texas (I'm not sure how the dinosaurs didn't melt because I sure did!), but I heard legends of them doing boxing events where they'd call for gamer-volunteers and feed them pizza =)S.
