Status: offline 		I've played for years, since I was 12 or 13, one role playing game or another. D&D is my favorite. I was really into second edition D&D and then they changed everything. Now I have to relearn it all and find I just don't have the energy to do that.

Now that me and my role playing friends are older, we play about 3 or 4 times a year. When we were 18, we played every week. Getting older players to actually have time at the same time is tough. Everybody is married or working.

I was usually the Dungeon Master. I'm good at cooking up adventures and complex stories without pre-planning. I do enjoy being a player at times too, but I am best as DM and the players like how I am so proficient at it.(If only there was a job in being DM!)

Status: offline 		I played Dungeons and Dragons, although I tended to prefer to be the Dungeon master.

I played internet games all the time, but when I stopped getting paid to play (the internet site went out of business, I left computer gigs to be a longshoreman) I ran out of time I was willing to spend playing them.

They are fun, but I dont have enough time in my life to do all the important things in it, and I lack the willingness to spend what little time I have playing with digital people.

Does anyone here play role playing games such as Dungeons & Dragaons?


D&D, Call of Cthulhu, White Wolf, Champions, Paranoia, Stormbringer, GURPS, 7th Sea, Serenity/Firefly, Munchkin, Ninja Burger, etc.  I like to get my geek on.

I currently run an online Serenity/Firefly campaign on Tuesday evenings, interactive text format (MUCK), storytelling style, and there is room for more players.  :)

Status: offline 		I wish my schedule was such that I could play.   I'm a complete gaming geek, and have been since I was 15.  My first D&D game was in the blue box, which demonstrates my age rather scarily.  I've played D&D, Stormbringer, GURPS, Champions, and I dabbled a little in the Warhammer RPG.  (not the miniatures)  I have several White Wolf books, but I've never actually played a game, though  I did create a very nifty Nosferatu, just in case.  I bought the Serenity rpg sourcebook, and my sister swiped it, allegedly to start planning a campaign.   Oh, I also played Call of Cthulu once, and Paranoia a few times.   I looooove Munchkin!  Has anyone ever played the card game Naval War from Avalon Hill?

Status: offline 		My partner and I both love RPG's, though we lean pretty heavily to tabletop, LARP, and text-based RP online as opposed to video games.  We've played a pretty wide assortment of games, but we lean heavily toward White Wolf's original World of Darkness setting -- especially Werewolf: the Apocalypse.

Status: offline 		I have the Werewolf book, but I haven't played it yet.  I can't find anyone else around who does, much less who could play within my available times.  I'm leaning a bit more towards wanting to play Vampire, though.  I have a cheerful, well-adjusted Nosferatu I'd like to use to annoy the Toreador.

Status: offline 		Love it!!!

Oh man, D&D + AD&D have been my very fav. passtime since the mid '80s!  Growing up I played with weirdo friends, in my early twenties I was fortunate to find an awesome group of guys to game with, and now I dm for my two kids on most Friday nights.

The kiddos have created the "Dragonfire Battle Clan" LoL

Status: offline 		When I got married my hubby showed me D&D and I got into it we have been married almost 14 years now and we still get together with a group every couple of weeks.  We have played D&D 2nd, 3rd and now 3.5.  We also play Battletech, vampire, shadowrun, and he is into one called star fleet battles which is a guess a table top star trek thing I just can't figure that one out.

Status: offline 		I can't imagine being involved with anyone who wasn't a gamer.  It's kinda like asking me to choose between a man and my cats.  There won't be any submission if I'm in the middle of a critical part of a game.

You poor thing.  I don't think I could maintain a relationship with someone who didn't play as well, or at least act receptive to the idea.  I may go so far as to putting it on the sub contract.  lol

Status: offline 		I played Star Fleet Battles in college!  If you love mucking about with ship design, it's a great game, since most of your game consists of designing ships, and marking off little squares on a piece of paper.  These are the same people who spend most of their time playing Master of Orion 2 designing ships.
