I’ve recently been adding this game to my ever-increasing stable of short-term holiday interests. I actually got into D&D without too much intention of actually getting to play it too much, mostly just to learn it in case I did meet other people who played the game, and because I wanted to become more familiar with a fantasy setting as opposed to my usual realm of sci-fi.
Anyone else here play original nerdy activity? |

honestly, the game is only fun if you have a crew of people to play with, like if you’re in the navy on a boat or some **** where you see the same people every day. I can’t count how many attempted RPG campaigns have turned into scheduling conflicts and eventual abandonment.
I prefer boardgames because you can get it finished in one evening and have a hell of a time. |

I used to enjoy the occasional bit of D&D. I got pretty turned off of it by the generally ****ty player base. Later I would play a system called D20 Continuum, created by my brother and a crew of his close friends. It was fun for a while, but when I moved out of the house, there went the only decent gamers I knew. |

HAIL SATIN Posted:Very true. I’ve tried to start up who know how many campaigns with my friends, but since we go to different universities, it is pretty much impossible to get anything arranged, even on the days we have off. |

My brother likes to DM so we’ve been playing Vampire: The Masquerade. I always loved video game role playing games, but I can definitely see the appeal of being able to do whatever you want at any time you want.
During our first night playing we ran into a bunch of homeless people. They wouldn’t pack down from us, even though they were ****ed drunk. So I did what I had to do, Log in to see images! |

I absolutely love roleplaying games, but it does turn into a scheduling conflict, as was mentioned earlier.
And while I do enjoy D+D, I prefer Cyberpunk, Shadowrun, Wraith (Log in to see images! |

I used to D&D (not to mention VTM, Unknown Armies, In Nomine etc) a fair lot back in my home town, but after moving to Melbourne that’s kind of petered out. Which is shame, because I quite enjoyed all that nerdity. And HAIL SATIN is right, it’s awesome when you have a crew to play it with: when I was still in military boot camp, we used to play almost every night before lights out. Good days. eponymous_ennui edited this message on 11/04/2007 1:58AM |

I used to play too. Unfortunately the group I played with for about a year or so dissolved and I haven’t played for a couple years now. We were never very serious about the games so lots of crazy stuff would happen in game and it was a blast. Log in to see images! |

Another RPer checking in. I got disenfranchised with WOTC after all those umpteen splat books and the announcement of 4th ed sealed it. I mainly do White Wolf stuff these days but as most guys said, it’s pretty darn fun if you get a solid crew with ya. |

Aren’t WW almost as bad for splat books as wotc, outside of self contained franchises like Scion? |

Splat books are the expanions right? And personally, I love them. The game wouldn’t be nearly as interesting if it was just the core rules, would it? Though I do realise they enjoy the pocket.Log in to see images! |

We should start a D&D Klan. Any ideas for a name? |

“Check Your Klan Profile For Invites” would be a cool name for the klan. Log in to see images! |

NWoD doesn’t seem to suffer from that plague, but the old one with all that metaplot going on is just as bad. I kinda got disenfranchised right after I saw Races of <insert locale here> and Spell Compendium. |

I play both D&D and Vampires: The Masquerade. It is sometimes interesting trying to keep the multiple toons separated in my mind, sometimes I will be playing D&D as a Drake, and start talking in my Losambra personality. Really quite interesting.
