Anyone in this forum play pencil and paper RPGs?

[cze_026]

Or boardgames, cardgames, wargames. etc. I don't do computer games, and was wondering if I was alone.

Board Games and Card games I when I can. I also own several P&P RPGs (D&D and Exalted), but it's hard to find a group willing to commit to it.

Stuff I have as follows:

* Lord of the Rings: Confrontation
* A Game of Thrones
* Puerto Rico
* Bohananza
* Wiz War
* Illuminati: Deluxe Edition
* Lunch Money
* Uno: Deluxe Edition
* Magic: the Gathering
* The Lord of the Rings TCG
* The Wheel of Time TCG

I play mtg, hunter the reakoning, and a little D&D.

 

[cze_026]

I'm a D&Der from way back. I had the original brown cover basic set, which ironically I purchased at a church rummage sale. Soon after I started with the first edition AD&D with members of my scout troop.

Haven't done much with Magic yet, though a lot of people around here play.

My favorite games
1) Zombies!!! (boardgame)
2) When Darkness Comes (boardgame/rpg cross)
3) Gamma World
4) Star Wars RPG (WEG D6 version)
5) Munchkins
6) War P.I.G.S. (Plastic Infantry GuyS) Table top Wargame
7)Your name here of the Jungle (similar to War P.I.G.S. using plastic wild animals
8) Illuminati (I too have the Deluxe edition)
9)Dr. Who RPG (by FASA)
10) Chrononauts (cardgame)
11) Fluxx (cardgame)
12)Diplomacy (boardgame)

Actually I found this forum when searching for information on the Christian roleplaying debate. I probably have more than my own weight in roleplaying sourcebooks. Games I'm particularly fond of include: GURPS, White Wolf's Aeon trinity series, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, Cyberpunk2020, Shadowrun, Paranoia, Blue Planet, and many, many more. I would characterise myself as a roleplaying nut, and it would be the first word to come to mind if asked to describe myself.
Oh, I don't like the D20 system. The Open Gaming License is an Abomination Under Dice.
As for Magic: The Gathering, I'm of the opinion that it is the gaming equivalent of Crack-Coccaine. Its totally addictive, hideously expensive, and (in a secular sense) soul-destroying.
And I'm rather partial to a wargame called Ogre, published by Steve Jackson Games.

mtg...are you meaning it in the bad way, or the good way?

I have a fair collection of RPGs myself. 1st and 2nd editions of AD&D (core books only, never bought into the modules and premade world stuff), Dr. Who RPG, Timelord RPG, Gamma World (1st and 2nd ed.), Gangbusters, Runequest, Rolemaster, Star Wars, Masterbook, and others to name a few.

Oh, I don't like the D20 system. The Open Gaming License is an Abomination Under Dice..

I am undecided about D20. I think that it is a misleading title for the system. WEGs D6, used just D6, the way WOTC led on, that is what D20 should have modeled itself after. I haven't bought any D20 stuff yet.

As for Magic: The Gathering, I'm of the opinion that it is the gaming equivalent of Crack-Coccaine. Its totally addictive, hideously expensive, and (in a secular sense) soul-destroying.

I can give or take MtG, or any of those CCG games. I have picked up a few cards here an there of a few games, mostly for the art. One of the reasons that I haven't really gotten into the game, is I don't find it so spectacular that I am willing to pay out the funds to contiually update my deck(s). There are quite a few other games that I would rather spend my money one. The miniture games by WizKids or WarHammer table top games are examples.

And I'm rather partial to a wargame called Ogre, published by Steve Jackson Games.

I really like Ogre too. I had the original microgame, and played it until the counters were illegible and the map was disintegrating. I was so glad SJG had re-issued it. Have you tried Awful Green Things from Outer Space? It is an old TSR game the SJG has also re-issued. It is a riot.

Been playing since about 6th grade. All sorts of things. I have narrowed down to d20 in my adulthood simply because its quick and easy and you can modify it to fit most any genre.

 

[Vylo]

I mostly play Everquest online, but I do play D&D on a regular basis, and have played vampire the masqeraude(sp?).

 

[pistonpunch]

Any of you play Neverwinter Nights ? it's a fun multi-player on-line ( & there are no charges, it's free to play online unlike some of the others) & is all AD&D format as well.

as far as the pen & paper stuff goes.... long long time ago

 

[Vylo]

Neverwinter nights in multiplayer is a weak combination of diablo, EQ, and D&D. It is highly unimpressive, the single player provides much better play experience. If you are looking for multiplayer RPGs I would suggest everquest, Horizons, or that you wait for Everquest 2 or World of Warcraft.

Note: Horizons is much more roleplaying at the moment, but as it ages I have no doubts that it will become more metagame like everquest has. I personally don't mind this, but I do enjoy some heavy roleplaying every so often.
