I never got into V:TM, but I read the heck out of those books. <br /><br />And Castle Falkenstein was a simply beautiful book, but halfway through reading it the formatting, not the system resolution, overwhelmed me. <br /><br />To transfer a comment from author S. John Ross from my Google Plus link for today's entry: <br />"The rise of consumerist "values" (expenses, more like) in hobby-gaming has cost us a lot, I suspect. It's been a bone-cancer since the early 90s."<br /><br />I want things organized better than City-State of the Invincible Overlord, but typewriting font and manilla covers are fine by me.

I do miss the days of black ...Preach it, brother! <br /><br />I do miss the days of black and white, saddle-stitched books and likewise had trouble coming up with an answer for today... <br /><br />What actually gets me now is when things now are only available as PDFs - yet they STILL feel like making every page full colour, which, with my B&W laser printer, only eats up the toner faster and makes every page grey and hard to read... ugh... (I know, some have "printer friendly" versions and others are theoretically layered and can be printed without the background layer - though not on my old computer and I haven't tried printing any off my new one...). <br /><br />timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.com
