So, on a random topic... :) Anyone here play role-playing games? Not the bedroom kind, I'm talking about D&D, Rifts, etc. If so, what kinds of games do you play? Personally, I'm a D&D geek. My dad ran a game for my brother and I when I was about 7, and I've been playing ever since. My wife and I even met in a game of D&D, how geeky is that. :tong: (On a side note: everyone in that group ended up coming out as bi. Funny stuff.)
However, my favourite game lately... Kobolds Ate My Baby (http://www.koboldsatemybaby.com/). :bigrin: Very funny, if you've got an utterly morbid sense of humour.
So... yeah. Any other RPG geeks out here? Speak up! :wiggle2:

I used to be big into D&D and I had Magic the gathering cards but I prefered the artwork on it to the game itself.
I'm a big H.P. Lovecraft fan but I never got into call of cuthulu or Delta green.

I used to do the d&d thing. Been wanting to get back into it, but don't know any people into it except this completely antisocial kid I used to work with. I was an Elven Ranger, of course :cool:

I've been playing AD&D for 20 years. God...I feel old now. I've also played V:TM and a couple of the super hero games.
We're currently running a campaign with our 16 and 17 year old sons.
I gotta tell ya though Kobolds Ate My Baby looks freakin hilarious! How long does a game usually last? Knowing how dumb the little fuzzbuckets are, it can't go on TOO long.
Oh, and I met my husband on Prodigy Classic in The Peaceful Warrior Inn chat room (the one dedicated to AD&D-style roleplay). So you're not the only geek here hon :bigrin:

I played Kingdom of Loathing (www.kingdomofloathing.com) for a couple of years, until I ran out of new things to do. I'm giving it a bit of time before I play again, just waiting for enough new material to be added to make it fun again! ^_^ (For those of you who don't know, KoL is free, funny, and still in beta-mode.)

Hey, I've been playing for over 22 years now. :)
I gotta tell ya though Kobolds Ate My Baby looks freakin hilarious! How long does a game usually last? Knowing how dumb the little fuzzbuckets are, it can't go on TOO long.
I've only run one game so far... It took about 4 hours, but a lot of that was spent getting everyone familiar with the rules and such. We also let people create new kobolds whenever their current one died. Otherwise the game would have ended at the first chicken coop. :tong: I've got a game on Sunday, I'll let you know how that goes. :) The featured monster is a Knitting Demon, if that gives you an idea of what to expect... :bigrin:
I tried V:tM a few times, and I liked the rule system and a lot of the backstory, but I found that a lot of the people who played it took it way too seriously. :eek: I also played their Mage game, that was pretty entertaining. :)

I used to play D&D when I was a kid but after I quit smoking pot it wasn't the same.

I play World of Warcraft... got into it cause of my ex and it WAS something to do with him lol But Im more of a casual gamer than a hardcore gamer so I don't really play that much hehe
But really, since my ex and I split.... Im pretty much ignored in game now *pouts*... nice to know who your real friends are hehe so I lurk back to my old habits again..... online chats and message boards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (now THATS fun!!!) hehe
Im surprised Im the only one on here that seems to play it hehe I used to be on Ultima Online but that one turned to junk. (just so.... boring!)

Unabashed ADnD fan here ... though I haven't played for a while now :( Currently, it's world of warcraft for me - but IMHO, it's not half as enjoyable as playing with real people using your imagination (and a couple of handpainted miniatures)!

Im a D&D player from Way back, my older brother introduced me. I also played Traveler, Wearwolf, a multitude of others. Latley Im doing the Tabletop Minitures games. Warmachine, Warhammer 40K, Hordes.
Im also a video game geek. I dig my PS2. Dont get much of a chance to play though.
I have found that Most gamers are pretty open when it comes to sexuality.
I know I have met quite a few gays, bis, and kinks in the Gamming community.
pitty that most of them are still doing the closet thing for fear of rejection.
Anyone Play Dawn Of War?
:) :flag3:

I just met the Kingdom of Loathing people at the San Diego Comic Con last week and they were really cool. I haven't played yet but I will soon if for no other reason than their enthusiasm was contagious. Looks simple but fun!

I used to play a lot of AD&D too (even back in the first-edition days), and I've played a lot of RPG systems at least once, but it's been a while since I felt like it was worth the time I was putting into it. In the last ten years I don't think I've played anything except Call of Cthulhu, which I highly recommend for newcomers who enjoy horror. The system is extremely easy to learn and extremely flexible.
