Any DUers into D&D or other RPGs?

[nemo137]

Just wondering, and looking for someone to care when I say that I'm a bit pissed that Urban Arcana costs 40 effin dollars!

1. D&D rocks

I'd love to find a group to play with in my area.

Neverwinter Nights is a good substitute, though.

2. I used to play 2nd ed

And recently gave 3rd edition a try.
It was okay, but it's just too hard to find a compatible group anymore

3. I liked Rolemaster

Yeah, I'm a numbers geek, go figure. :-)

More specifically, I'd play the MERP stuff set in Middle Earth. My daughter's just about the right age, so when I get my stuff out of storage, I may try introducing her to it.

4. Rolemaster was awesome!

Bloody difficult to GM though. MERP was nice because cut down on so much of the numbers crunching. I still have my RM stuff, but I regret letting my MERP box set get scattered to the four winds.

13. Dude, I LOVED Rolemaster!

I got so far as RMSS (Rolemaster Standard System) before quitting.

18. I think

that the people who diss Rolemaster didn't understand how easy the numbers were to play with if you just did a bit of prep work. You know ahead of time what weapons your party is using, so have those charts ready. Takes a second to look. I could run a full combat scenario so fast you didn't realise I was using charts.

5. we are, and I feel your pain.

We bought 3rd edition books, and now can't agree which version to play. I prefer 2nd. Mr. Pcat prefers 3rd.

So we do NWN and BGII. Time sucks, both of them, but we're on vacation this week.

6. mastar gamar.

D&D 3.0
Call of Cthulu
Delta Green
Vampire
Warhammer 40k
Necromunda
A&A (old and revised and all theaters including D-Day)
Hearts of Iron
Hell I've even larp'd.

Almost forgot Jyhad.

9. What, no SW:RPG?

I love that. I just made a sullustan scoundrel with 18 dex. He's great.

[Sirveri]

17. Star Wars, Yes, I've played BOTH versions.

Both you say? YES BOTH! You see before wizards came out with a d20 version there was a d6 pool version. Each attribute having something in the realm of 2d6 dice which you rolled then added up to score a difficulty value.

But well that's just me being dorky. Ewoks were probably and sadly the most brutal race in that version, in that they got massive bonuses to varied sneaking skills.

7. Here's something if you don't want to spend any money

It's still in the developmental (beta) stages, but getting close to completion.

8. Now that the gays are out...

the nerds will not be kept in the closet anymore.

10. For a long time.

What really gets me is the other day I was trying to make some new characters but I left my books behind when I moved. I was fiddling around on google trying to find copies of the rule-books for some things I'd forgotten and I found that Wizards of the Coast has basically the entire 3E Player's Handbook, DM's Guide and Monsters Manual online for free. Something about a fairuse ruling that says game rules are public domain. So in about 5 minutes of downloading, I've saved at least $90. Those books are monsterously overpriced.

Now I just need a group to play with. :-(

[Salviati]

11. I used to play a little..

I played in a particularly silly game of Battlelords of the 24th century, a more serious game of Deadlands, as well as Mage...

Oh, I should probably tell everone that in the last deadlands campaign, my mad scientist tried to invent a steam powered trans-dimentional time machine to allow him to travel through time and across gaming universes. Unfortunately he botched, destroying them all, so alas all your characters are dead...sorry :evilgrin:

12. I picked up "The Blue Book" in '77

after seeing Gygax on Tom Snyder. These days--when I can--I tend to stick to Whitewolf and Larping.

My favorite games no one plays though--Cthulhu, Empire of the Petal Throne, and Rune/Heroquest.

14. I play D&D (link to free song)

15. I was playing D&D in the dark ages...

when the rule books were skinny pamphlets that were subtitled "A Fantasy Supplement to the Chain Mail Combat System."

[Khephra]

16. Those were the days

While I came in with the "Blue Dragon" book, most of the people I played with were using the Chainmail rules...that and Ardwen as an additional supplement.
