No, FR! is the proper abbreviation. Fantasy Rules! is a miniature game
rules set put out by Chipco. Don't have address, either e-mail or snail,
but plenty of presence on r.g.m.m, and r.g.m.w on occasion.

Current brou-ha-ha concerns whether to get HotT(DBM-derived Horde of the
Things) or FR!

No comment, as I only have the former, and untried at that.

All right, I'll bite...I was avoiding this thread, but I'm outnumbered...I
surrender... 19, came into mini gaming with a cousin's copy of FT, bought DS2,
recently bought SG2. Did the Munchkin:the Addiction thing in junior high, got
out...was tempted by the Evil Empire at various times, never had enough cash
(why did they drop ManOWar, anyway? Looked cool..) so GZG was my intro to mini
gaming. Have also got into 15mm fantasy (Hordes of the Things), am avoiding
the temptation to get 'just one more' mini system. (FR!, in my
case...)
Do some RPGing (Rolemaster 'Viking" theme campaign at the moment) and a bit of
board wargaming (WiF FE)...read alot of SF and Fantasy...great fan of David
Drake, similar military SF...influences my take on DS2 and SG2. This is more
about me than you probably wanted to know...tough:) I didn't start this
thread. Interesting, tho.

I just started playing FR! I like it well. I have read the rules to HotT and
don't like them as well. There seems to be more variety and depth in FR! than
in HotT. For instance, in HotT you can get bespelled while in FR! you have a
whole simple magic system to deal with. Both are good games.
