Hey D&D is as only good as the DM. All that is really is needed is combat tables and dice and a good DM with paper and pencil. Avoid DM's that play many RPG'S as a very unlucky Roll or a bad mouth could have non-standard characters drop in. The magic blade shatters developing a space/time rift between dimensions and a bunch of bouncy harmless lemons show up. BTW what is your saving throw vs UNDEAD?

This is really off topic, so I'll shut up.

It's a Biblical reference, Old Testament. They were the three guys who wouldn't bow down and worship the statue of the king because they worshipped God and it would have been a violation of the first commandment. "Thou shalt have no other gods before Me."
Anyway they get thrown into the furnace and God saves them by keeping them from getting burned and when they come out of the furnace unscathed the King rescinds the law.

It was acclaimed as one of the best H-games of 1998.

If you talk about a non-engish game **, if first poster could give bit of a discription of just what they are playing it would be nice. ** 99% of all the games I want. [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/smile.gif[/img]
As in many games, you play a highschooler, living his everyday's life at his aunt's. Living happily his everyday's life, though he wasn't aware of this happiness. Then some events would come, which whould break this normality...
As "Kanon" theme is "miracle", the theme in "ONE" is "eternity". As the introduction says (IIRC):
"In my childhood time, something very sad happened to me.
And so I fell from a world where eternity exists.
And while recollecting this time of ever smiling, and those tiny pieces of happiness, slowly and slowly I walked out of it.
And as time goes, I stopped growing, only crying. But, this certain day on this certain winter, the gate of time opened.
It was the first time.
The instant I started going out of this world.
"Eternity exists", to the broken toy the crying me was, this little girl said.
"It exists here" she said with confidence.
A world I had forgotten suddenly called to me.
The eternal world was calling me."
As so far, I only finished 2 girls' stories, so I can't make a full comment, but, so far, the stories were... interesting. What is interesting is IMO more that this game revolves around the protagonist's story, more than the girls. Or, if you prefer, that, though his growing relationship with a girl, the protagonist will, little by little, remember a time (a world?) he had forgotten (as in "Kanon" [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/smile.gif[/img]). But, contrary to "Kanon", this point of this game is more the "healing" of the protagonist (though his love with the girl) than the "healing" of the girl...
I also liked the atmosphere of the game... and the girls, of course! ("ONE" contains some unusual girls, without them being weird or surnatural: Misaki-senpai who is blind, and Mio-chan who is mute)

Uhh, so what [img]http://www.animenation.net/forums/images/smilies/sweatdrop.gif[/img] ? I think it's fun to use many different similes, rather than just the five smilies that we can use on this board...

Ah, now I remember! I've heard that story before, but I didn't know what the names of those guys were...

So would hundreds of other people. Unfortunately, many of them have given it up as a lost cause. And so Tokimeki Memorial joins the ever-growing list of titles that will never see the light of day on this side of the Pacific.
Well, who knows? until recently, many throught that we never would se Kana on this side of the Pacific either, so maybe there is still some hope . anything is possible

Yes...
I totally agree with Mr. Spectator Beholder. We must never give up on anything in life! For along as we stay true to ourselves and never let anything get in our way! Anything will and shall be accomplished!
And on a side note, no one thought Sakura Taisen would come here. But now it's coming and hopefully it will open a wide range of endless possiblities. Now let's see what the future holds for bishoujo! [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/cool.gif[/img]

I thought we agreed to keep that under our horns?

And then there's the upcoming domestic release of the Sakura Taisen series. At least, I think. I've seen a couple news stories reporting it, one denying it, and I've seen none of the furor I would have thought would accompany such a move.
In any event, Tokimemo is quite a bit more different that US norms than Sakura Taisen, which at least has RPG elements.

quote:True. First, the ST being scheduled for an US release is settled in the US. Second, at present time, only the action/adventure game based off ST5 will come for sure in the US; the "real" ST5 would come after... probably depending on the success of the ST5A (it's the opposite release order in Japan: ST5 then ST5A).
