D&D confession/tabletop rpg thread

[Santino]

MERP and GURPS were good for creating characters and then putting away.

 

[Random]

I had a friend who would produce the most beautifully written out character sheets, full of exquisite pencil strokes and nicely rounded figures. Shit at roleplaying, though.

I used to spend hours just creating characters.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

i'm thinking of playing a female human wizard....


just like in all my rpgs

 

[Kanda]

When you gonna DM your first Urban game, I'm in...

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

give me a chance man... i don't even have a felt surface at the moment

plus i'm probably going to be an evil dm

that or end up designing a chractor database to track stats xp status effects and the like

My first group ever was with a bunch of git ard ADD guys who'd been running this campaign for a couple of years when me and me brother joined in. We did soon switch to MERP, and not knowing better, being a complete LOTROLOLOLOFIL I was instantly hooked. DMed for a couple of years, but eventually booze and such "got in the way". Never any good at RPing drunk.

 

[Epona]

Never done D&D, the group I played pnp with every free weekend of my teenage years used MERP/Rolemaster. We'd have the occasional day off playing Warhammer, Bloodbowl, or F1 Manager (on the Spectrum) just for a change of scene.

 

[Citizen66]

I had blood bowl as well.

 

[dylans]

Call of Cthulhu and Judge Dredd

 

[Termite Man]

I went to see the Misfits and drank a litre of Spirits on teh train when I was 16 . I was arrested for spitting at a policeman

And now you're all grown up, look.

 

[fractionMan]

Ok own up. Who played Vampire the Masquerade?

 

[Chz]

Only the computer games, but they did make it look like a fun system. But then Shadowrun looked fun and turned out to be anything but.

 

[Stigmata]

Me. Clan Ventrue FTW

 

[bouncer_the_dog]

2nd edition ftw

But I have put this boxed set on my amazon wish list.. if I get it for Christmas the family will have to play it!!

 

[Quartz]

i've just taken the first step into hell

The next step is to visit EN World. I suggest you start here.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

finally actually played some d&d yesterday

it wasn't bad but it was a little tricky working out exactly what numbers we were supposed to use when... the red box although nice at getting you started isn't overly clear about specifics

 

[FridgeMagnet]

4e?

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

essentials (a streamlining of the 4ed i belive)

 

[FridgeMagnet]

I'm so out of touch, I had to look that up.

4e really didn't need streamlining, it was already a streamlined version. It's only a couple of years since it came out anyway!

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

apparently the rule set is the same it's just this starts out with a very narrow choice of race and class

good for beginners

also presumably once you have cut your teeth on erssentials you can easly tranision into 4ed

 

[FridgeMagnet]

Hmm. Narrow choices of race and class. I'm not going to go there.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

well to start off with anyhow

i mean as a beginner the choice can be a little overwelming

the red box starts you off with a choice of human, elf, dwarf and halfling for race and fighter, mage, cleric and rouge (i think) for class
it does hint on sub classes and the rule books and class books expand on this

 

[FridgeMagnet]

Money gives access to class progression? Typical. Of course, I bet if you started out as a lower-middle fighter and progressed to some prestige class, they'd still laugh at you behind your back

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

well given as the red box is a tenner and comes with enough to let you know if d&d is for you i think it's a good buy

not sure about the other books... i'll give my thoughts on them whent they turn up

 

[lizzieloo]

You bunch of sad gits

 

[Sunray]

You do realise that there is little known game called World of Warcraft, its core is D&D except it does all the dice throwing and stuff for you.

Except RPG's on computers are shit.

The whole point of a good RPG is that it gets you sat round a table with your mates, drinking beer, smoking spliffs and eating pizza

D&D doesn't demand that you spend hours farming mats before you head off to a dungeon.
