Decadent Singularity

D&D Board Games and d20
I check the local Facebook marketplace from time to time, and whenever I see any of these older D&D miniature games, they are always sold out, even the Dutch versions. I read Americans buy these for spare parts, since the national language games are always cheaper. Still a complete copy Warhammer Quest lays there for months for just 300 euro, while ebay.co.uk it sells for a fortune. I'm personally not a fan of the original WH Quest table-driven wargameish nature or its art style, and especially how cramped the board gets. The Silver Tower is a bit more sexier, yet it is still to simple and the limited. The Fantasy Warhammer universe itself is really boring compared to D&D, and the d20 is really sweet compared to the nigger d6. With d20 you get 5% steps to 100, and you can also easily compute d10 and d100. Indexing d20 into tables is also much easier, than throwing two or three d6.
