Yup, I loved the simplicity of it. I was never a big fan of dice games... the way Amber worked was fantastic and left more room for actual "storytelling" (IMO).
My cousin got me hooked on the books when I was in junior high and it was only a matter of time till she dragged me into the DRPG as well. =D My cousin's ex-fiance still runs a few games online. He came up with some extremely kickass sorcery/conjuration variations. Really cool guy. In fact, I really should email him one of these days.
If I could manage to get back into reading Fantasy novels, that's one series I desperately long to reread. Alas, I burned myself out a year or so ago and haven't been able to touch a fantasy book since.
So is it safe to assume I know who Darwin's REALLY named after? ;D
And I have to ask - who's your favorite character? (Or should I say... favorite character in the Corwin books, favorite character in the Merlin books, and favorite character all-round?) It's been eons since I've talked Amber... I'm no longer on good terms with my cousin and except for her ex-fiance and some friends of hers, I've never met anyone who knew what Amber was. Sadly. =(
