I've run everything from Old School D&D, to Cyberpunk, to Call of Cthulu and WOD. I've even written my own system and run with it on several occasions.

Thats a big N O for me, EMO and Scene people don't do things like that, but I do have a friend that plays the D&D thing or whatever it is, actually come to think of it I haven't seen him in about a month. He is probably still playing, last I heard he game up on his online gaming habit just to play that D&D thing, and he dresses up as his character just to play.
It's pretty good. I also play Dungeons and Dragons with a small group of friends (note that I play these two RPGs with the same friends and for Star Wars, my US history teacher is the game master). I get bogged down on D&D because you always have to refer to the sourcebook - you have to look at the rules, exceptions, damage, criticals, etc etc. Or maybe you can just photocopy it. LOL QUOTE (mahanon) He is probably still playing, last I heard he game up on his online gaming habit just to play that D&D thing, and he dresses up as his character just to play. I dressed up as a Jedi with my friend during a special school day (twins day). We looked exactly the same, except that my robe was brown and his was blue. We each had a lightsaber held on to our pants. COOL!!
i play an old version(v 2 i think) of Champions! My chars named Stingray because he uses Electricity(he was a victim of gene-splicing and got Amplified Stingray Genes). I enjoy it alot, and so do my 2 little brothers: Telestriker and Magenar
What the heck is a pen and paper rpg? Is it something like a board game like monopoly or cluedo?

Mechwarrior, GURPS,Traveler, MEKTON, etc QUOTE (abhiram @ Aug 4 2005, 07:14 PM) What the heck is a pen and paper rpg? Is it something like a board game like monopoly or cluedo? Imagine being able to play a video game (one that you play a character) without a video game system. One person controls the "world" of the game, and everyone else playing is a character. It's kind of like the computer games that are played online where everyone runs a character. Dice are used to see if what you try succeeds, and if it does, how well it succeeds. For instance, I tell the "game master" that I am swinging a sword at a bad guy. I roll a 20 sided dice, add the number that comes up with some numbers on my sheet that represents how good I am with a sword. The game master then compares that number to the number the bad guy has that represents both his skill at dodging, and the armor he is wearing. If I rolled higher than his number, I hit him. I would then roll another dice to see how hard I hit him. The total number of "hit points" of damage I do to him are then subtracted from his life points. When his life points go below 0, he is out of the fight (possibly dead, in standard d20 games, death is at -10). And so the game goes, and you get to explore dungeons, mazes, cities, castles, and whatever else the game master has prepared for you. In many ways it is just like what happens when you play a computer game, just without the computer  -YB
Oh... so that's what a pen and paper RPG is
 . Thanks YB. I never did play paper and pen RPGs. I do believe I've seen it being played in cartoons, but I never knew that it was called a paper and pen RPG.
I like to play D&D v.3.5. That is the only one that I play. I mainly do the Forgotten Realms campaign, but the DM of my group just decided to make his own world. It should be interesting. We start this Monday, I think. What are the other rpgs? And which one do you think is best?
Thanks, Wazz 
Yeah I've heard of them before...somewhere. I've never played them myself though, but I think one of my friends does. Sounds interesting.

While it's a rare thing these days to find people who play, we're still out here. Recently I've been working on a plan for a business that caters to all facets of "Geek Culture" and table top rpg is one of those facets. I have been looking for a site that allows users to play a multitude of games in a chat style environment with profiles and character sheets... All that good stuff to no avail. I decided to set up a site that fixes this problem, it's just a matter of where to start now. I want to giver traditional gamers the full experience. Any suggestions would be lovely. Anyway, that's my piece, so if anyone wants to play or run a game online just send me an email or I'm me on yahoo Thanks, Tom tacarnal@yahoo.Com -reply by TomKat1682
...Pen & Paper Rpg
Does Anyone Every Play Pen & Paper Rpg Anymore ? One time I created a paper RPG with my friends at my high school, it was awesome! Like, with a map, teams, skills, attributes, point systems, dungeons, adventures and stuff... Wish I could play again but there's nobody who wanna play... So what I do is writing books based on fantasy pen & paper RPGs... Still fun, but not as much as a real game with friends.. -reply by Maxsims

The only non video game RPGs that I have played were Dragon Strike, and Mage.
Dragon Strike was a board game that my brother and I use to play. It had the dice, and it had a few characters and props that you could set up around the board. And it usually went by the line of sight where you could see what was around you. It was pretty fun, actually. The other, Mage, was from a book... and it could be played basically anywhere. And I had friends come over and we would just chill for a few, then we would just start to play when we got more comfy and into character. I don't do anything but console RPGs... but I don't forget the others.
I guess if you're not that creative... as you get older... you find you can't compete with all the current game genre, story, expansion pack, modules out there. Besides you'd have to have some imagination... like a kid or be on some kind of high to compete with video/pc rpg(s).
