Dungeons & Dragons
 

I was wondering if any of you are interested in this game? It is a very cool game and if you haven't tried it you should. Me and Mike play it all the time with a few friends. So talk away about D&D.

w00t! Best game ever! There's no better way to waste time!

Is it anything like the TMNT RPG?

I'd have to have someone explain how to do stuff in it before I get it. I'm a card and video gamer.

I used to play it all the time, a few years back. I started playing when I was somewhat young, and finally stopped when I was about 20. It's a pretty fun game, for those that can get in to it. ^..^

I usually played as a theif.

What is it a board game or something?

Kind of, it's a role playing game you play with Dice and Paper.
You make a character using the book, and then the person running the game begins telling the story and you and your group have to play out his story.

I wish I knew some people who played it. I played breifly back in like 5th grade, but everyone stopped for some reason.

Same here, I played it briefly way back in the day but I fell out of it quickly. It was fun though. if I had friends who played I'd probably play again.

I play D&D every few weeks often when our resident DM is in the mood to host. He was just talking about running our game again tonight :evilgrin: hehe... must avenge my lost fae wine!

Here's a drawing I did of my character...

Yeah I really like this game. Me and Mike play it every weekend usually with a few friends. My Chracter is Pikel the dwarven fighter. I haven't drawn a picture of mine yet but if I do I will post it.

yeah iv never played it but iv wanted to

hmmm
 

I've just been starting to really get into D&D 3.5.

My favorite classes are the Monk from the player's handbook and the Ninja (obviously) from Rokugan.

Still, I don't quite like how Ninja are portrayed in that book, so I am right now working on creating my own base class (as well as possibly a prestige class or two) for them. Perhaps someone could give me some pointers??

Before I do anything I am going to look up the Way of the Ninjas book to see what classes they have in there. (The Ninja Spy prestige class from Oriental Adventures is interesting, too).

ive never played D&D and id like to keep it that way

Hey, he's not a nerd...........GET HIM!!!!

:o " I better start running!"

I've never played it, just some of the computer games. I didn't really have any gaming friends growing up. Now I do and we really only have time to get together for card and board games. They introduced me to Illuminati a few weeks ago...good fun!

*tackles doom* i dont think so

Sometimes it can go wrong. You have to be with people you're really comfortable with when you play it. Sometimes you'll need to act like a complete fool when you RP. We've also got one friend who's a maniac about everything. If he's not asking the other players to share their spoils with him, (he keeps all of the stuff he finds) he's telling everyone weaker than him (OOC) that his character could whoop them all in one swipe. I usually play as the DM. (Dungeon Master for those who don't know) It's my job to create the story of the game. I create all the adventures and possible plot twists. More than once something I've planned has been destroyed by my players, usually when they kill someone or something that will further the plot later on, or skip over an important item inside a dungeon. It's sometimes a tough job. Especially with our group. Sometimes when I throw a huge twist and our one friend gives me this look. If there's any danger at all that could involve his guy dying he gets huffy. In fact...once he complained so much I created an entire scenerio where the characters stumbled into a cave containing a Bugbear Chieftan. Needless to see this was when the group was weak so it was quite the bother. I had the Bugbear swing his arm and slam our friend into a wall. Of course I was fair. I let him have a saving throw, but he failed it. So he was stuck in the corner. As the battle raged on he was able to get up and when he was about to attack I had an Orc (who the group had spared earlier, only to be betrayed by him) jump him. He lost his saving throw and was slammed back into the corner. The Bugbear was in trouble so I had him pin the Barbarian (my friends class) against the wall and held a sword to his throat. At this I grabbed my friend off his chair and slung him into the corner of the room. I put my foot on his chest and pushed down until he started turning red. My group (though sometimes slow) came up with a good solution to the problem. My friend on the floor moved just a bit and then my other friend (playing as an elf) caught the Bugbear with an arrow to the head. (which killed it) It sort of amazed me that they came up with that plan without even talking to each other. It happened in rapid succession too. Needless to say my friend was angry at his near death and told me I did it on purpose. Of course I told him I had it planned that who ever stepped into the square he was standing at the time would have had the same thing happen to him. I lied. He hasn't complained as much since then! Anyone else got some D&D stories?

Well I've only really gotten into D&D cos my friends have played it for years. I'm still trying to remember all the dice and when to use them. The current game we're playing now is a light hearted one, I'm an Elf who's drunk half the time on fae wine. (funny since I am drunk when we play - keeping in character you know ;) ) She swears she's half human (on her mothers aunts cousins fathers side)

My two companions and I (a paladin and an annoying bard who sings the "sir robin" song making clopping sounds with those bloody coconuts) defended this village against a small group of Orcs and they let us stay there in payment. While on a patrol the village was attacked and when we came back we found everyone dead.

Me: Eh. *shrug* I need a drink...

Tara: The tavern is burned down.

Me: Well at least I have my fae wine right here with...? What the?

Tara: I made you leave it in the tavern with the barkeep remember?

Me: Egads! And my 10 gp! Orc blood will be spilt this night! *shakes fist*

Tara: It's just 10gp, let it go.

Me: Just 10gp? I gotta buy ale with that money! I will hunt those Orcs to the ends of the Earth and get my money back or I'll die sober trying!

And off we went...

Not much of an RPG person, sorry. I prefer my games plain and simple, which is why I play DOOM :D

Now..*sigh*

Just goes to show you age is not a factor in how well you know something :D

Well I have heard of it, but I never knew what the hell it was.

and at least GK actually took some time to explain it, instead of coming up with some smart ass remark.

There's actually quite a few versions of it, to be honest. Hell, it even spawned 2 arcade games.

Excuse me for asking a valid question :roll: .

Ah, a fan of random animated carnage. I'd never of guessed! ;)

I play NWN myself...

Amanda (Yeah, I'm boring. But I'd prefer a bow and arrow than a huge ass gun. More fun you know :ttwisted: )

Excuse me for making a harmless joke.

You obviously haven't been a fan of it long enough to see it evolve slightly beyond that...

i used to play antill my team(i wouldn't say friedns......) moved to role master i hate role master 100 books of rules dammit!

Nice to see you too, d*ckhead...

And would you rather have me give a DUMB ass remark?

I can see you making a joke but you are always saying it on anyone you see you can make fun of. Maybe you are older than us and I don't know about smarter or wiser but you go around here thinking your a genius. Both Matt and Gwg had sensible questions and just wanted some answers not a remark like you did.
