I've never played a tabletop RPG.

I am Dr. Ned who is totally not Dr. Zed in disguise.
I really would like to but I've never known anyone who was into that kind of stuff.

  • You can change. You can.
    Me too, Ian.

    I want to play D&D since I saw that Community ep (Yeah, yeah, I know, shaddap)

    -looking for pun that probably isn't there-

    On topic: I've never felt much inclination toward that sort of thing.
  • Where in this country are you, Ian?
  • I am Dr. Ned who is totally not Dr. Zed in disguise.
    The east, although it is subject to change when I can find work.
  • Well, if you ever move over London way... I have contacts here.
    I reckon you could probably find a semi-local group if you check around.
  • no longer cuddly, but still Edmond
    A huge problem with Tabletop gaming is that if you can't find interested players (who are any good at it) then they quickly turn to shit.

    I've had some campaigns in my life, some okay, most not so great. I'd rather stick to video games.

    ^ Oh, don't get me started on today . . . I had a pretty crappy session today as a result of the players being exceptionally inflammatory and self-aggrandizing. it doesn't help that the two problem players were backing their shitty logic/personalities up and acting like I'm supposed to be infallible as the DM, never mind that I haven't even played this edition in months. And they kept going on and on about Fairy Tail, as usual. Oh, and the other guy lost his temper at one point. This nearly ruined my whole day, and I left early once the session was technically over.

    Sorry. If I didn't already have some not-so-successful online D&D games under my belt, I'd consider starting one fresh.
  • Give us fire! Give us ruin! Give us our glory!
    I've never played a tabletop game either, and the only one I want to play is Warhammer 40,000.

    And there's a very obvious reason why I don't.
  • Honestly, almost every time in semi-recent history I've done any... well, I've become the subject of group mockery pretty consistently because they and I think differently....   so I don't do it much any more.
  • I am Dr. Ned who is totally not Dr. Zed in disguise.
    I'm not too bothered by the painting individual models, as it seems too artsy crafty.

    I would like to mess about with dice and the like.
    I actually own the rulebook for World Of Darkness and the Mage The awakening.
    I was curious to how they worked and their lore.
    Ideally I'd like to play them/that.
  • a little muffled
    Me too. I have actually played D&D once, at a friend's birthday party, and it was hella fun, but that was like eight years ago. More recently the same friend was going to start a Mage: the Awakening campaign, but it never ended up happening. That guy is the only person I know who plays / played tabletop RPGs.

  • Heh...  I've got a few rulebooks I've never made use of. Including Discworld GURPS.  I had a large collection of old Vampire the Masquerade books which are now doomed to rot... along with my Exalted first edition stuff.  ;_;
    In fact I used to have a Rogue Trader (original WH40K), but I'm not sure what happened to that.

    You know what we should all play? FATAL

    ^ I'd play FATAL with a group of people for the shits and giggles.
    (Is there any kind of records of a group playing it that would be entertaining to read out there at all?
  • You can change. You can.
    I dunno, the idea of saying stuff like "I roll a 20...what does that mean?"

    "It means you insert your cock on [your best friend]'s butt"

    and it being considered a victory is the pinnacle of awkward.
  • lolfatal....

    I want to play Paranoia. I just do.
    To date though the only P&PRPG I'm any good at is Call of Cthulhu.

    ^ Ooh also to my list of one I want to play is paranoia.

    Also Nobilis as that sounds really interesting.
    Acquiring FATAL rulebook to read and lol at right now.
  • Give us fire! Give us ruin! Give us our glory!
    Now that you mention it, I kinda want to play FATAL just to see what kind of deformed, negative-anal-circumference, character I would end up with.

    Oh, yeah. I still have the FATAL handbook downloaded somewhere. I want to play it with a group now. Like the people here. Who's up for it?

    I'm not sure I want to play Exalted. It sounds like a game I could get into, but the way Chagen described it has kinda ruined it for me.

    I've heard a lot about Paranoia. I might look into that one.

    And I kinda want to play Vampire: The Requiem and Call of Cthulhu.

    The only one I can think of that's out of the question is Warhammer 40,000. I just don't see myself getting into that one.
  • I wonder.... if anal circumference can be your dump-stat...

    ~♥YES♥~! I *AM* a ~♥cupcake♥~! ^_^
    I have never played a tabletop RPG, and I hope I never have to deal with the hassle.

    My only woe is how often they are referenced...

    ^^ If you roll in a certain way, sort of.

    Characters are pretty much entirely created through the rolls you get while making them. Everything from your race to the size of your genitalia is randomly determined.
  • Another good game that I've only got to play once is SLA Industries....  Oddly enough, the guy DMing it for us was one of the creators. It is a bit niche, but official.

    Oh... and the WH40K Inquisitor game is pretty nifty too.

    O'course, I will note that at both of the above I did annoyingly poorly.
  • I am Dr. Ned who is totally not Dr. Zed in disguise.
    ^^ See I like the mechanic of play what you roll.
    If only the game didn't seem so rapey.

    Also it comes with an MP3 theme song....

    If it didn't seem so rapey? The way I've heard it, a good chunk of the sex in the game is brutal rape.

    Fixed.

    Ah, right. Because little but sex (and therefore rape, since this is FATAL we're talking about) occurs. And when it's not that, it's juvenile, tasteless, crude attempts at humor.

    Also Areola size and hue as well as nipple length affect the females bodily attractiveness.
    Urinating is a skill...?
  • You can change. You can.
    I maintain that we should play it. If only because it'd be hilariously awkward.
  • It had armors that changed you into racial stereotypes, but only the negative aspects of them, giving no-one any reason to actually use them.
