The second book is called "Elmer and the Dragon," and the third book is "The Dragons of Blueland." <BR/><BR/>I first read the series when I was in third grade, I tracked down copies for my kids when we home schooled, and I've read them for myself as recently as this past summer.

Not books you'd find in a Christian bookstore, but fun hard boiled detective pulp, where the detective is a wizard. I just bookmooched Dekker's Three and added Black to my wish list. (Because I need more books in the pile on my bedside table.)William Searshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07974469615710485465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12366201.post-90394352640026091622007-12-05T08:10:00.000-08:002007-12-05T08:10:00.000-08:00Steve is correct...

However, I recommended Starcraft because brand recognition can often get a game to the table that otherwise might end up stuffed in a closet.<BR/><BR/>BTW, the way to introduce Starcraft is to take folks who know the Starcraft system & tell 'em "it's kind of like Risk, only cooler." And, most importantly, it's probably easiest to teach to one or two people, not to a full table.Mark (aka pastor guy)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12920114022832644455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12366201.post-48068378433244045782007-12-04T13:34:00.000-08:002007-12-04T13:34:00.000-08:00Starcraft is an interesting recommendation.

Love the game but I don't think any video gamers in my family is ready for it.<BR/><BR/>My recommendation would be to pick up Vegas Showdown and Nexus Ops for around 30 bucks shipped from eToys.com (AMAZING deal).<BR/><BR/>Nexus Ops is slightly more accessible and WAY cheaper.ironcateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13976645472552078821noreply@blogger.com
