Anybody play D&D ?

Post » Mon May 14, 2012 11:22 am

I'd like to be playing Gama world my self. But cant find anybody to.

So im gona go to the local shop here in nawlins and give it a shot tomorro , they apparently run games every Wednesday.

I guess in this senario im going to be relegated to a pre rolled char. Guessing Cleric unless the group has one.

If I was to roll a char , It would be a Barbarian Druid.

I've been playing 3.5e DnD for about 8 years now, ever since I started high school. It's been the same 3 other guys since the beginning, and even now that 2 of us live on the other side of the country and the other 2 live on opposing ends of the province, AND we all have school/work to deal with, we still manage to get a game in every week.

Over the years I've developed a liking to being a human bard. There's just so much fun to be had.

We`re playing Warhammer 40k Deathwatch. Devastator Marine, Tech Marine, and a Psyker.

We tend to play a lot of Star Wars Saga, 3.5 has been gathering dust a long time now. Not that we don't like it, just that we don't have enough players to make it work. That and there's better games.

Not D&D but Pathfinder. If you haven't heard of it, it's a game based on D&D 3.5 but improved. Very cool game.

Haven't played pen-and-paper D&D since, oh..... 1st and 2nd edition AD&D? Only places I've encountered 3/3.5 is in the computer games. I've played plenty of other tabletop RPGs since AD&D2, though. None in the past few years - been focusing more on tabletop games. And our gaming group isn't consistant enough to run a coherent campaign - the attendance week-to-week is very chaotic.

I don't play D&D. But I do play other tabletop RPGs. Currently I'm GM'ing Battletech RPG campaign, and I'm part of another RPG which name I cannot yet tell. But lets say it is about japanese themed wuxia setting. I'm also starting new campaign to said setting and soon my friend starts zombie RPG. Also, there should be Ars Magica campaign starting during this spring.

I wish I had people to D&D or wargame with. I've always been really interested in these things but no one else is around here.

You don't multiclass into Barbarian Druid like in 2nd edition. 3.5e level each individual class level by level. 4e only adds so many additional class features as restricted by the ruleset. 4e hybrid is however quite similar to 1e 2e multiclassing.

Much the same situation myself. Last played D&D when it was 2nd edition AD&D. Last played a PnP RPG campaign about 2 years ago. Mostly we play board games now and the ocasional Call of Cthulhu game where the PCs are all doomed to go mad or die horrible deaths anyway.

I want to DM a game of 3.5, but I unfortunately don't have time for it due to the fact that I'm a player in two 4e games.

I'm pretty hyped about 5th edition, can't wait for the public play-testing to begin.

P.S. I started playing D&D in 2000 with the 3rd edition starter set. I was actually reading the adventure book from the starter set last night and it's pretty awesome. I was thinking of adapting it to fit my setting and use it as an intro for whenever I do eventually get my own game started.

I was about to make a thread on tabletop RPGs, weird.
I'm looking for recommendations, so I hope I can be helped out here.
I'd be interested in ones that have a dark setting or involve Norse mythology/folk beliefs like Draug or Kult.
Thanks in advance.

These and Call of Cthulhu, I rarely play in the actual Forgotten Realms.

Trope namer for Grim Dark is Warhammer 40k. I can recommend that one very much. There's three systems in the overall series of books that equate to different levels of power.

Dark Heresy: Lowly acolytes, skilled humans. At the end of the day still weak, frail, and easily tempted to the dark powers. Very high death rate, very dark and oppressive. A victory might only stave off the inevitable end at best.

Rogue Trader: The very best humans/mercenaries/aliens on offer willing to protect the Imperium. One grade above the average masses of Acolytes. Though politically a Rogue Trader is very influential compared to the low average nobody acolyte. The threats and stakes get a little larger at this level of play. Or not, all depends on the player who is Captain. Death is still a fairly common thing and very easily achieved, though you have more wiggle room than an acolyte.

Deathwatch: The best of the best, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFHKIFDjk9I forwarded to the elite Deathwatch unit. The first and best line of defense against any and all threats to humanity. The Deathwatch are on constant vigilance against the xenos scum that prowl the stars waiting to devour or corrupt humanity. The power level is high, the danger is high. Of all the tiers of play, the Deathwatch are by far the most durable. Several tiers above even Rogue Trader characters. They are called upon to eliminate the biggest threats before they can take root and require massive armies. Failure can mean the loss of planets, star systems, or even the crusade itself. Forged, created, and armed with the best humanity can offer. Despite how elite they are, death is a constant companion to the foolish. Only those who work with the team will go far and survive.

I've never actually played D&D, but I always loved the Dark Sun setting. If they made that into a video game... :cryvaultboy: :cry: :touched: :woot: :banana: :biggrin: :blush:

Such as:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Sun:_Wake_of_the_Ravager
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Sun_Online:_Crimson_Sands

Admittedly, good luck finding copies. Who owns the old SSI collections anyway? They need to be convinced to make a GoG re-release.
