This is now the thread for that most incredibly nerdy pursuit.
I normally only tell people about my roleplaying preferences after the third date, but I'll make an exception just this once. :p
I've only done it once, and I didn't much care for it. I might try it again some day, possibly. What would be a good one to start off with, do you think?
If I'm with friends, then I'd much rather play a boardgame or a video game than tabletop roleplay, to be honest. Or gossiping. Gossiping can be fun.
I think it would be cool.
But I have no friends so.
If MTG counts :P
I use to and theres two systems I want to try out but me and my friends cant seem to find the time anymore
I only did it once five years back. Met up with some online friends who happened to be in my area (a rarity) and that was the first and only time I really did a tabletop. GM said I showed more incentive than a lot of newbies who play with them. I got my ass kicked! I also froze at one moment and had to take a potty break. RPING FACE TO FACE IS HARD OKAY?
Like Mr. Carny, I'm much more into board games than out and out tabletop RPGs. Having said that, if a friend invited me to a evening of it, I wouldn't say no, as long as they explained the complicated rules to me.
I've tried a couple of times and it was fun. It's just hard to get a free afternoon for four people.

Uhhhanyway I did frequently play last year and some of this year, but it has been harder to get together lately with the people who play.
I did that joke already. You're losing your touch, Sephex. :pQuote:

I noticed! Hence the poor excuse for a dragon pun.Quote:

I also thought about saying rolling down a hill while playing a video game, but that was too weird.
I never have and probably never will. I like board games for the most part, and I would certainly give tabletop roleplay a go if the opportunity arose, but I'm already pretty certain it's not for me.
I don't like most table top games, but the game I was playing was created by a buddy of mine. He actually streamlined a lot of things. Sessions were still long, but most sessions ended with things going by fast. As we went on sessions went faster.Quote:

Never done it and it looks so fun on Community but I have a feeling it's not as good in real life.
Theres a little more paperwork and it depends on the creativity of the DM and the group dynamic but it can be that good. Though you probably wont have a life chnaging epiphany every sessionQuote:

I play Pathfinder, D&D, Numenera, Shadowrun, Call of Cthulhu, and Vampire: the Masquerade. A good group and GM can make or break a session, though. I suggest for those interested to try multiple games with multiple people if you want to try it out.
