Well, seeing as i'll probably be asleep at midnight seeing as i'm driving down to Cornwall in the morning, have a cracking night out (or in) you lot and remember to drink irresponsibly!
Happy new year to all forumites.
Well, i'm staying in this New Year eve, as I got a stinking cold as a late Christmas present. But I cant really complain, as 2015 was a pretty good year all round. Got a fair bit of travelling done - hopefully this coming year will see that continue, and on a 2000ad front, got to meet plenty of Droids (Mick McMahon!), as well as many forumites. :thumbsup:
But whatever your up to, and wherever you are, wishing everyone on here a Happy New Year, and I hope 2016 turns out to be a wonderful year for you all
Best,
Iain
Health and Happiness for 2016 to all on the Forum and at Rebellion. :D
Well I've two small(ish) children and get grumpy if I stay up late, so I've spent New Years Eve reading some of my latest comics haul and then a chunk of GMozz Batman comics as my wife was too tired to play Backgammon after one game... you might think its sad but I loved it... I'll be in bed before too long so just time to write some stuff in the Comic Megathread then bed for the early wake up call... I'm so rock and roll.
Happy New Year you wonderful people you.
Happy new year to all :)

Slan agat. Have a wonderful year people. Z
Happy New Orbit, Squaxx!
I'm a little bit tiddly - hope you are too!
I stayed in as well and rolled over to fall asleep at around about ten thirty last night and missed seeing in the new year.
I know last year I was wandering around town looking for any sign of cheer that would involved me spending too much money and it was then and last night that I had no money.
I'm not as pissed off as I was to find that I didn't have money on my birthday.
I certainly knew where my money went this fortnight and was careless with it.
Spent the night on online chat rooms and downloading everything in my Drive-Thru-RPG.COM library.
Still now, since I work up this morning. I've been doing the same thing....been spending some of my funds on the earliest Dungeons & Dragons manuals, for Grey-Hawk, (Including a boxset!) Dragon-Lance, Forgotten-Realms-Al-Qadim and Dark-Sun. (Also a box-set!) as well some related source material and a lot of free stuff. Plus the deluxe rules for Tunnels & Trolls (These came from Kick-Starter (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/994700393/deluxe-tunnels-and-trolls?ref=discovery)) Which I really did buy earlier this fortnight. The rest were the last purchases I made before I ran out of money. Once I buy these, I can download them from your library any time I need them. That's why they're cheap, because they are only PDF's. I does take ages to do. Since before, I I used the web-site, I have only had few books on my desktop including all the ones for D20 Slaine RPG. It just serves as excellent alternative source of knowledge for my favourite 2000AD character or anything else that I have brought from that site.
The Dungeons & Dragons have interesting factoids about who wrote the book, and how that came together and anything of related to that.
Aye, my own computer is choked with libraries of ancient RPG PDFs, and I must say I get a lot out of reading them - even the odd game!
Unbelievably we went into town for NYE last night, the first time this century I think - my eldest was intent on going to a candlelight parade/son-et-lumiere wotsit with his friend-who's-a-girl, and seeing as he's only 9 this meant a joint family expedition. Organisation was truly shambolic, but it was good fun all the same and we were all back and safely tucked up by midnight.
Wishing all Squaxx a happy new one, in this the second year of Prog 2000.
My missus has a terrible cold so we stayed in. Happy New Year to all Squaxx.
Happy new year everyone!
Ended up at the local rock bar with m'Geoffery and some old friends - they played a hell of a lot of Motorhead and it was a great hoot.
Today there is much, much suffering.
A few things I hate about the local drinking establishments around town is that they they're shut by two or three o'clock in the morning now. Used to be that they would be open until first light in the mornings when I was younger. Now we don't even have a night club in town any more. It's since be abandoned by who ever owned within last year. I remembering casing the place. Not for burglary, but for doing what is expected of any other person who wants admittance on New Years Eve about a year earlier. Now, there is a notice on the door that the owners have since moved on.
This is what I mean, there is no open air gatherings for the people who want to camp out in local parks or at least any that are open as long as I think they should.
Compared to the city the place where I'm live is a bloody graveyard.

I stayed at friend's for new year's. I'm still there now actually, doing forums stuff while she cooks a breakfast lunch .
It was quiet, but nice.
Happy New Year everyone. I hope you fulfil your dreams (or at least make a start on them) and leave your troubles behind.

The next week sees our first D&D for about a month, due to seasonal breaks. Our DMs take it in turns to run 3.5 and 5th.

Happy new year everybody, for those who have had bad years, hope this one's better, for those who have had good years, may it continue!

Picked that one up in Oxfam before Christmas for 50c - hadn't set eyes on it since our one and only campaign sometime in the mid-80s. Never enjoyed it that much, but I've been reassembling the 1st Ed AD&D core books from charity shops and parish sales and honestly, 50c! Next I've my sights set on Deities & Demigods and Fiend Folio (neither if which I've ever even seen), and then I'll have such a collection that 13yr old me would sell his spleen for it.
Well, you can get those easily in PDF form from Drive-Thru-RPG.com and they also the first edition. You may know them...re-released. I think you can order a actual printing of those from the same web-site, but you will pay more than getting just the digital download.
BTW, I have vivid memories of those two books (And selection of others!) from my later high school years. I was never encourage to look through them since I never DM'd a game. I don't think matters since they always put their own spin on it in case accidently saw the stats for what critter they were throwing into the campaign that day.
I have deleted a small paragraph and also decided not to continue going on and on about my personal life regarding this game. I first started typing this my reply here last night and I sit her this morning after leaving the computer due to excessive heat.
Happy New Year. I went to a friend's flatwarming-cum-Hogmanay party in Edinburgh. We drank, watched the fireworks from his living room window then I performed a critically acclaimed DJ set and politely declined what I believe was the offer to participate in a menage a trois.
