    D&D is just a tedious form of any fantasy video game such as RO WoW or what-have-you.

    Try being a pokemon master.

    I think it would be hard for you to be even more wrong.

    Pen and paper RPGs aren't like RO or WoW at all. The closest you'd get in the "computer world" is probably games like Morrowind or Oblivion, but even that's still quite different.

    Hope I'm not being trolled now.

    Well if you've got a GM who can't tell a story, or a bunch of people playing who only want to dungeon crawl, then yes. If you're playing with competent people who understand that the "role playing" part of "RPG" doesn't mean "XP grinding & loot whoring" then it's another matter entirely.

    Also: Go play some Shadowrun or Changeling or something.

    This, basically. Think of D&D as more of an interactive group-written novel rather than a bunch of people sitting in a circle crawling through a dungeon and you've basically got a good atmosphere for D&D. Personally, never played, but I kept abreast of the rules pre-4th edition and read a lot of the books for enjoyment. Never could find a group of people interested in playing though.

    I also played M:TG during my high school lunch period and bought the XBox 360 game to enjoy the nostalgia. I would buy several decks (the one I have in mind is based loosely on one of the decks I played on the 360) and even calculated the price of each individual card.

    I play WoW and plan on writing an observation essay on the social atmosphere surrounding the game. I have three level 80 characters and plan on rolling another one as soon as I transfer to Draka.

    Beat that, bitches.

    The only thing I would want to play D&D for is game master. He gets to make up stories right? With all the power?

    Yeah, 3.5 is far superior to 4E. The systems they used are like, entirely different games. Though that can be said for each addition to the next.

    Me and three of my friends actually played D&D for maybe two years. We used to meet like every third weekend and play an entire afternoon.

    It was actually a lot of fun, and I kinda wish I had my D&D notebooks lying around, so that I could look in them and become all nostalgic. In fact, we played maybe two different games, and so I've had two different characters. Don't even remember what they were called or what class they had, but I remember I acquired a red dragon at one point, that we used to fly around on and other awesome stuff... I think one of my characters might've been a mage?

    ...I now realize how big of a nerd I actually am xD

    I actually hate roleplaying and only want to abuse the mechanics of games. Just ask Roogle.
