Wanna play over the Internet?
If you want to play board games on the web, I suggest this link.
Gemstone is
another great (text base) D&D game. If the link is gone, check www.game.net.
There is actually a CCG that you can play over the internet, called ChronX.
And yes, you actually have to pay REAL money to get the cards. http://www.didesignworld.com/games/
has also loads of java programmed games.
Games
Workshop : GW only has a single concept diversifications, targetted at the young/male market. Besides that, GW is a
hobby rather than a game, so you choose to play this game: It's a love-it/hate-it product. Hasbro:
Hasbro's well-diversified portfolio includes some of the best known brands in
the world, including Global brands like Furby™, Mr. Potato Head ®, Monopoly®,
Playskool®, Play-Doh® and Wizards of the Coast; Regional brands like ActionMan®,
