How many of you guys are like me and started out with old school pen and paper role playing games.
What have you played? What are your favorites? Know any good games going with open slots? ;)
Though I never played it, the first game I ever bought was Tunnels & Trolls way back in 1979. AD&D was my first real game and I've played a wide array of games from Call of Cthulhu to home bashed sci fi games. I haven't played anything in years but despite my advanced age, i'm 42, I still find it can be a fun social experience that can build new friendships more than annonymous online gaming.
Thoughts? Ideas?
Flames? ;)

That is not dead which can eternal lie, but it sure gets stiff in the joints.

most of the offline or irl games ive seen recently are either minatures games like warhammer, or tcg's (Trading Card Games) / ccg's (Customizable Card Games) like the ST:CCG

I've never played any of the ccgs, but I've had a good deal of experience with Necromunda, a spinoff of Warhammer. I've also played a lot of “beer & pretzles” games like “Nuclear War”, “Illuminati” etc. I used to game regurlarly at “The Flying Buffalo” and actually know some of the people the cards in Nuclear War are modeled after. The “Super Virus” card, for example, is a very good likness of a fellow named Cliff who was also a regular at the Buffalo.

Gosh, I played lots of RPG's and I really miss the old p&p sessions. We used to roll WAAY into the night playing all sorts of crud. I personally ran Runequest, the old Mayfair Star Wars, DC Heroes (modified the system a LOT there), Werewolf: The Apocolypse, Aliens… I even have a first edition of the Judge Dredd rpg up in my loft. It's old and battered now but I still dust it off and gaze at it longingly now and again…
We had a really dedictaed group of RP'ers. Once a year we'd hire a cottage somewhere and go for a weeks holiday, just RP'ing. Eash of us put in that bit of extra effort to pull off something really stand-out. *sigh* Great days…
Then, disaster… Girl, Marriage, Children, Work… a tidal wave of freetime smashing events and my d20's were retired for good. The kids don't want to know. The Mrs still thinks I'm weird. It's online for me now, but it's not the same.. never the same…

I love and still play D&D. I'm so happy I found a group just recently… and the funniest thing about it is that my co-players are also my gym buddies.
|
And now, farewell to kindness, humanity and gratitude… I have substituted myself for Providence in rewarding the good; may the God of vengeance now yield me His place to punish the wicked.
