Re: [dq-rules] Playing?

[Ian Court <shinglebane@yahoo.com>]

In terms of the question as to whether anyone even plays anymore, I am involved in an active group that plays DQ every Sunday. I'm only 20 myself, but my group is quite a bit older and got me hooked on this rules system (3.5 D&D sucks). I mainly use this group for things like monster statistics, magical items, and the like, and in that spirit, I offer a few demons I wrote up for 3rd Edition DQ in the hopes that others may share their hard work.
