No. But my boyfriend can't stop playing them. That's enough to make me know I don't care for them
im a fan of turnbased console RPGS like final fantasy, ive tried tabletop games but i just couldnt get into italso i hate laing with other people so ive never even given MMOs a shot
when i was younger i wanted to but my attention span is farrrrrrr too short.
been playing the same D&D campaign for 25 years now
RPG Geek to the core and not afraid to admit it. Everything from classic pencil & paper, through console video games and right into MMORPG's
I've tried most of those, but none seem to have stuck. Now I don't really have the time.
It's been a while since I've played. I've played D&D, Earthdawn, Shadowrun, Masque of the Red Death (D&D set in the 1890's) and Macho Women with Guns. I've been in the mood to play some more lately, but I don't know anyone who plays.
As for the other role-playing stuff, my wife doesn't seem to be into that. :sigh:
Im with KillAtomik on this one.. console RPGS only.. i tried table top and LARP and couldnt get into it.
I prefer the "tabletop" RPGs. I started playing Vampire:The Masquerade and Werewolf:The Apocalypse (if you've ever played this, you'll know where I got my screen name for here from).
We now play Call of Cthulhu, RuneQuest, SpellDancer (a game similar to RuneQuest created by our GM) and Haunts & Horrors (a Horror based game also created by our GM, set in the 19th Century, so you have to put yourself in the correct mindset. How many people can talk in a Victorian Yorkshire accent?)
Oh, I guess I should add that I've played my fair share of computer/console RPG's. I have nearly every Final Fantasy game made. At least for the systems I own.
im an rgp geek as well. began playing in like 3rd or 4th grade. grew up with the various forms of D&D. i love the masquerade form of vampire, shadowrun, and am currently playing in a "play by post" 1st edition AD&D game. as well as WoW.
I rp online cause I'm a big dork I rp text based games and I've rp ad&d and vampire
*pushes all the White Wolf Publishing: Werewolf paraphanelia, Final Fantasy paraphanelia and any other incriminating evidence under the bed*
Nope. What is this RPG you speak of?
gamer scum!!
It would probably be easier to ask me what I haven't played.

"i ask the hotty elf where she lives"
"your character wouldnt do that"
"what? im a charisma 18 elf lord trying to seduce this broad so i can grill her for the location of captain sponge's secret lair, where she works the bar on weekends"
"your character wouldnt do that"
"fine. ill kindap her and torture the answer out of her"
"your character wouldnt do that"
"WHAT? hes a chaotic evil spellcaster, and i need to fill my quota of innocent souls tortured for the week or my daemonc masters will come up here and rip me apart limb by limb, starting with my colon!"
"your character wouldnt do that"
"fine. my character flips the bird at the DM and hurls dice at his eyes"
"your character wouldnt d- OW!"
also he never let me be anything interesting, like a schizophrenic or a gully dwarf.
erm... sorry. got a little ranty there, didnt i?
so, have i ever played any RPGs? i confess nothing!
as a side note, i never played an elf OR a spellcaster. elves are gay*, spellcasters are pussies, and campaigns never lasted long enough for me to even consider having obligations to my daemonic masters. why would they pay any attention to a small fry like me? :(
*if you are gay, i am seriously sorry. i dont really use it as a insult, ever, but you have to face it. all elves are cocklords. seriously. havent you seen them?**
** and if any of the gay people reading this are offended by being compared to elves... i can understand that completely and apologise profusely. wont happen again.
I always prefered the Bad Guys in White Wolf games. A Black Spiral Dancer/Malkavian Abomination was my first character ever! I had fun with that one. Complete fruit Loop. I must be the only person that found use for the Monty Python scripts when playing a character... :D
my boyfriend plays a whole lot more RPG's than me though last year he managed to persuade me to play WoW, which i thoroughly enjoy (even though i have to put up with my stupid flatmate calling me a nerd!). We also own the boardgame of WoW though it takes days to finish one game!
yup same here ,dont think there much i havent tryed , and some friends and i still r runnig the same campain for the last 17 yrs ,but we havent played since others moved out of stateQuote:

oh yes i just beat The Temple of Elemental Evil !!!! Has anyone played AD&Ds Ravenloft. I loved that world. and Greyhawk.
I think he means that they have been revived for the 3.5 edition rules of D&D, but I don't think it's official. Google seems to point to this website about the rules revision.Quote:

:rryumy: Sorry, yes that is what I meant, they are rumored to be revamping for v3.5 as they have already revamed ravenloft (and my fav was 'Masque of the Red Death' also). but with the Open gaming liscense that wizards has put out (see below) ANYONE can make a add on that fits seemlessly into v3.5 (see my recient purchase here: dang) Sorry if I caused any confusion....:D
(ok i can't post the links, but if you email me i'll give them to you.......:mad: )
It would kick ass if it was revived. I loved dark sun. Now I just need to find some cool gamer geeks out here to have game night with.Quote:

Never played AD&D, never had the inclination. I was given a couple of Ravenloft modules, and I liked the one blatantly ripped off from HG Wells' Island of Doctor Moreau.
As for gaming groups, ours comprises of our head DJ at the goth club, his wife (also a dj, but makes clothing most of the time. She makes my wife's corsets) myself, my wife, a sound engineer/van-driver -for the club- a lecturer at a local college and possibly one of the most deranged people I know! He GMs Call of Cthulhu, and you get all the sound effects. A very disturbing person is Oli!
Every final fantasy and probably 100 other rpgs.
As far as pen and paper... Dungeons and Dragons, Forgotten Realms, Eberron, Call of Cthullu, D20 Modern, D20 Western, D20 Cyberpunk etc etc etc etc etc etc ETC.
And on the MMORPG side..
Everquest, Asherons Call, Anarchy Online, Asherons Call II, Everquest II, Shadowbane, Ragnarok Online, Star Wars Galaxies, World of Warcraft, Eve Online, etc etc etc... im a mmorpg junkie.
Probably why my brain is so messed up : D I've been so many other people that I barely know myself sometimes haha.
I have not played an RPG but many dear friends of mine have. They appear to be very addictive, kinda like crack but they are having fun & not hurting anyone, just their chances of getting laid but overall I cannot say good, bad or otherwise on them.
