thebitterguyA retailer friend of mine got a copy of Fudge from a distributor open house and gave it to me over the holidays.
Before I dig in (because this is a hefty tome) does anyone have any familiarity with it? Any yeas or nays?
Best game ever?

Date: 2008-01-02 09:50 pm (UTC)I used to really like Fudge, but after using it a few times, have determined that it's really just "there" and the amount of work it would take to build it up to be cool just isn't worth it. Plus, there's never been a real compelling setting released for the game, so there are few cool examples of how to use it [although there's a ton of stuff online, but I always found the online fudge community to be insular, and I have little idea what it's like now, having been out of it for years.]
