Get out the good old pecil and paper and dice!

Since the RPG forum is for video games and PC games, I figured this was a suitable place to talk about the RPG’s of yore.

Thats right folks. Get out the paper and pecils. Get out your d20’s and d10’s. We’re talkin about old skool role-playing.

I’m curious as to how many Shriners here play D&D or ANY WhiteWolf game (such as Vampire: the Masquerade OR Werewolf: The Apocalypse) or any other paper and pencil rpg.

How did you get into it? How long have you been playing? Share your RP-ing stories here!

something to do when the blasted hurricane hit

I’ve played D&D for about 8 years now. Started DM-ing 6 years ago. All my friends pretty much moved away a few years ago though so we stopped playing for a long time. Just two months ago though, I managed to get another group together, so I run a game every thursday night now.

I play every friday night 😀 I have 3 groups, one of which is online. one of the groups im having to leave due to scheduling problems (they can only play on the night i play with the other group, and they are farther, i cant get a ride…etc.) I play D&D and would like to play Vampire or Werewolf. Maybe a little Mage too.

I actually started getting into it a few months back. When I met the man I’m with now. I got invited to go up to town north of my town to RP. Kinda been into it ever since.

My group was playing D&D when I joined. I remember my first session. They killed my character right away, and revived as a different being. Then later on, it got turned into a vampire.

Currently, my group is into the WhiteWolf games. We currently have a game of Werewolf going and at last night’s session, I became pack leader by winning the challenge.

We usually meet every or every other Wed. But next week, I think we’re meeting BOTH tuesday and wed.

Oh yeah, you can print character sheets for WhiteWolf games at white-wolf.com

And everyone should play Vampire. ;_;

I used to play DSA (Das Schwarze Auge, is The Dark Eye in the US) but quit, well, I moved away and stuff…
I was a thief, and probably pretty crappy. My money was stolen… o_O"

At the moment, I’m playing the part of a Solo in Cyberpunk. Myself and two of my housemates, and another guy. Our party’s always getting into strange and crazy sorts of trouble. Like just now we had the police chasing us because I gunned down two people who were following us (after slashing their tyres.)

I did shoot two of the policemen dead though. :E

Yes, I can be evil.

I’ve also played Fading Suns (as a noble lord with a brother who hated my guts) and D&D (which we had an extra person with us in.) It was great stuff.

Aaaah~

I played Vampire and I highly enjoyed the game, and also played a fair amount of D&D, so far the third generation is the bes in my opinion.

I actually never played those types of "paper and pencil" rpgs…I’m actually still not fully sure what they are though I read the descriptions. 🙁

I’m not in any games right now. Merl and I have an open invitation to come to this Marvel Superheroes campaign at a friends, but we haven’t gotten a chance to go yet. I haven’t even been making characters or anything in ages.

Generally, I play white wolf stuff. There’s this game called Agone that I really want to get into though. I’d probably alter the character creation before I played because it requires too much math.

Merl and I are creating a couple pen and papers, and those are going to be freaking fantastic, especially our final fantasy one.

I play D&D , Hunter and Zodiac plus a Pen and Paper RPG I made with some friends.

Our group’s Werewolf game ended like 2 weeks back, and since then, Chris (my fiancee) created a Vampire campaign. So far its pretty freakin interesting.. Basically, I think he’s creating Ghenna as he see’s fit (I dunno though). In his world, certain clans are wiped out, and theres a big war going on. And at the end of his campaign, more clans may be wiped out, and certain bloodlines will become clans. Camarilla and Sabbat may be redefined in his world.

As for my current character, i’m playing a 200 year old Daughter of Cacophony, and her cover is singing at a gay bar called ‘The Pink Tulip’.

A few days ago, my roomie’s cousin gave us the Dark Ages: Vampire book.

ATTN ALL WHITEWOLF FANS: Check the WhiteWolf site at white-wolf.com, because I think in April they’re going out of buisness and now is the best time to stock up on books.

EDIT: That might not be true. My fiancee told me that and i’m not sure if he’s right or not.

never played white wolf but played D&D with my bro all the time now im playin rpgs on elftown.com so i was wondering if any body here wanted 2 start a new one?

VAMPIRE GAME UPDATE: So far in the game, my bloodline has been reconized as a clan, and everyone’s killed lots of stuff and diablerized lots of vampires.

Game ends in two weeks.

Soon, the group shall be starting a D&D that starts in hell.. And i’ve been working on my character.. She’s a Drow Rogue. 😉

Not that anyone cares, but me and some friends are starting our first TBRPG. Shadowrun. Should be fun.

! – interest aquired

This sounds cool. Maybe me should have a lil looksee. The only problem is, there’s no-one to play with. My friends aren’t into this stuff. Well one might be but 2 is not enough really.

I keep on telling James that he needs to get us all together for another meet. I remember how my character is always a warrior who gets the party into trouble. 🙂 Just my speciality. 🙂

I remember in Fading Suns when Phil and I were chasing after someone. We found out that one of the Dukes was going to be killed via a bomb planted in someone. After not being able to pass the message on because my brother thought I was pulling his leg (and he hated me…) We decided to drive and stop the bomb.

Problem was neither of us could drive.

By the skin of our teeth, we went along a bridge and chased after the Duke’s vehicle. And then spun round to go after him down the other carriageway. And then we rolled some bad dice and ended up crashing into him. We were able to drag the bomb guy out of the way, and then were promptly knocked out by the Duke for causing the crash.

Classic days~

I have been playing this games for something like 11 years now, not really on a regular basis. I play Warhammer, Legend of the 5 rings and In Nomine Satanis (the french version), and i’m a gamemaster at Call of Cthulhu, shadowrun and Mutant Chronicles…

and i own a few game’s i’d love to try, but do not have enough time to, though.
