So who plays RPG's....?

[Custom_Hobby]

Please post what you play in this thread:

I play D&D and buy a lot of WotC and d20 products.

[Balgin Stondraeg]

I haven't had a decent roleplaying session in ages :(. It's been almost strictly tabletop stuff for the last two or three years now. There's some PBF's going on but apart from that it all seems to be WarHordes & Urban War in this area :(.

However, if anyone's interested I play AD&D (1st, 2nd & 3rd ed), WFRP, RuneQuest (3rd), and have a lot of other games I simply don't play these days but am willing to pick them up again for a bit of fun (Tunnels & Trolls, Advanced Fighting Fantasy etc). The list's so long it's better if people ask me if I've got something and I say yes or no.

I can't stand Worlds of Darkness stuff 'though, it just doesn't appeal to me (similar sort of experience with Shadowrun too really).

Have played/own pretty much every RPG since the days when Chainmail became D&D....but in terms of what we play, Runequest, AFMBE, Cthulhu and a homegrown rules system are what float our boat these days. Played a D&D campaign solidly for about nine years 'till work intervened. Used to run 3 successful (award winning  :icon_wink:) PBM roleplaying games for several years, and desperately need to find the time to restart at least one of'em  :icon_neutral:

played D&D for 6 months during 1993...erm thats all I have ever done as no one I know is or has been into it.... :icon_scratch:

I still play when I can, and recently (wthin the last couple of years) we've played AD&D3, Hackmaster, Star Wars D20, Advanced Fighting Fatasy and Savage Worlds.

In the past, I've played more: D&D, AD&D, AD&D2, Paranoia, WEG Star Wars, Traveller, Palladium, GURPS, Star Trek (FASA), WHFRP, Mechwarrior and more I can't think of right now.

Hopefully, I'll be able to play more when the girls are a bit older ...

Played AD&D, Runequest, call of cthullhu, stormbringer. I was a player in AD&D, GM in the rest. I also collected rules. At tops I had about sixty different rulessystems. Gave them all away to the neighbours twelve year old during a move. I've made a lotofown rulessystems (halffinished all of them) to. These days I play nothing. It's been about fifteen years since I last played.

I still want to finish my own campaign world in which dragons rule over enslaved and genetically modified humans, demons and whatnot brought to them through dimensional gates. Human players start out as slaves of the dragons (genetically unmodified humans are raised in cattlepens as main foodsource for the dragons) and work their way up (hopefully). That's the rulessystem I made most progress in. It was a pretty grim and dark setting. Kind of fantasy postapocalyptic.

Do you have any of the older books saved to PDF's? If you are interested in starting a campaign you could always start one here on the forum.

As a side note we will also be adding a dice roller to the forum as well.

That's the good thing about gaming on a forum, you don't have to be anywhere near the others involved. Maybe if another game gets going (hint hint geronimo :icon_wink: ) you can get in on the fun.

I know the feeling. I am looking forward to the kids being older (not really since things get more complicated), but even more so to retirement.

I like the idea for your campaign setting. If you need more info on Dragons for game mechanics I have a bunch of reference material for that.

I would but I cant guarantee getting online sometimes and would just drag the game slowly I think.  When it comes to cropping time and sorting out my growroom it can take days to do and add that to a busy week means a full week can pass easily without any notable computer usage.  Dont want threatening emails and messages from people waiting on me to whack something :icon_w00t:


Like the sound of that Dragon campaign Bodhi, very imaginitive  :icon_wink:

Alf it made me think of the matrix just with Dragons instead of the AI

Unfortunately not, computers were in their infancy when I bought most of those books  :icon_wink:

Somewhere, though, I've got the rulebooks for my own games in word format and have long meant to convert them to pdfs. Sounds like my arm's being twisted into another time-sapping project  :icon_suspicious:

Alf it made me think of the matrix just with Dragons instead of the AI

Except I started on it four years before the first matrix movie  :icon_scratch:
Now all text is lost on some old computer or diskette or god knows what. so I'd have to start from memory again form scratch. Which could be a good thing - forcing me to make everything more streamlined.

I'm writing up a little contemporary horrorgame now that I thought I might like to playtest here on the forum once it's done. Anyone know of a good simple rulesystem I could use for it that is free for everyone online to use? Focus would be on roleplaying so the rules need not be more than very sketchy. The d20 system we've used seems a bit to fantasy oriented.

[Custom_Hobby]

If you have the time, would you mind making up a list of of all the old (before 3rd edition) D&D books that you have? I am always looking to expand my collection of reference material. No arm twisting though :icon_wink: Also take a look at the link I posted there is a lot of D&D, Dragon Magazine, Dungeon Magazine, and d20 material on there.

Then they owe you some money :icon_wink:

There are some horror rules, I need to look for them. Also there is the Keys system that Fabian is using for the game we are playing in that seems to work great for encouraging roleplaying (perfect for a forum based game).

I recently discovered the All Flesh Must Be Eaten (AFMBE) system online and ended up buying the rulebooks. It's a very simple and easy storytelling system that'd suit PBF, iirc there are simplified versions of the rules on the main website here http://www.allflesh.com/characters.html

We use a slightly modified version of this to play Cthulhu Now; have replaced dice rolls with card draws from individual decks, and it works very well for fast, exciting combat and task resolution....

I play as many as I can-but with my apparent adult status its about 1 evening a week with the new ADandD system....



Which sucks.  There seems to be



It also doesnt help that its a Monty Haul campaign. :(
