For Twilight Odyssey and maybe more of you... ;)
« on: October 23, 2008, 02:10:56 PM »
I couldn't help but notice the almost D&D reference in T.O's sig, how many of us are closet RP'ers? :lol:

For me personally I'm afraid I didn't have many friends who played real D&D as a kid, so I missed the whole table-top or P&P stage of it. Really wish I had started off with that stuff. My first experience of playing any kind of fantasy adventure was (and still is) the brilliant Neverwinter Nights PC game, based on the popular AD&D campaign of the same name.

As it happens I am arranging a few of my geekier mates to come over once a fortnight to teach me P&P D&D and get our own RP night going. 8)

So, who else is a geek? Own up! :P

I'm a bit of a geek, but not in the sense you meant - it took me a couple of minutes to think what "D&D" and "RP" meant.  I still don't know what "P&P" means.

I did have one go at D&D about 25 years ago, but never got into it.

Geek .ol

I play D&D... played once or twice Vampire: The Mask...
But changing from city and working a damn serious factory may take my capacity of interpretation... the characteres I've build are not as nice as the one before I moved from where I live now...

I've played tonnes of table top rpgs over the years: D&D, AD&D (1st and 2nd Ed only), Gamma World, Star Frontiers, Boot Hill, Heroes Unlimited, Macross, Villains & Vigilantes, Call of Cthulu, Runequest ... and more that I can't think of at the moment. (This is being typed pre-coffee PDT_008 )

These days I'm more into playing JRPGs for Playstation/XBOX and Warhammer 40,000.

P&P = Pen and Paper, meaning the imagination is key to the whole process.  "I am Gwanthor, son of Thrugg! Come! Let us drink ale and hunt Orcs!" :wink: :drink:

Have you tried Neverwinter Nights? Or the one that started the D&D transition to PC, Baldurs Gate?. I've been playing Neverwinter for 7 years, haha! Addicted completely. Mind you I mainly play online on different servers.

Nah, I was a FF XI man, just kicked the habit recently so I can complete FF X-2 and the original Team ICO game.

I have never played Baldur's Gate, either. I'm much more into JRPGs than fantasy/Western RPGs.

 :lol:  Ah, OK.  Then the time I tried D&D it was P&P.  They hadn't invented anything else.  Unless it was quill & parchment.

Hah! You old fogey, it was C&S (chalk and slate) the last time I played.

Look there on the horizon

Thinking about it, maybe it was S&P (Stylus & Papyrus).

Or O&C (Ochre & Cave).

Everyone knows the original RPGs were played using smoke signals and antelope bones!

I used to love Games Workshop when I was 9 but then when In got a bit older beer and girls took over.
I don't play, but I do buy and sell vintage miniatures on e-bay as a bit of a hobby. Blood Bowl stuff is the most interesting for me.
I spent a lot of time playing Oblivion on the 360, that's a bit geeky
