have a few friends that do but not my cup of tea
Played when I was in college early 70's (74-75). Got out of it when the majority of the folks playing were living their lives thru it vicariously.
The final straw was when I killed a guy's character in a pickup game at the student union and the dude about had a stroke. I handed him 3 six sided die and said it's just a game create another character. He about came apart. It warn't just a game to him - it was his entire world outside of class. Lived thru that game. He was his game character.
Too wierd for me.
I do however, play computer RPG's now. Some of 'em are pretty good - with a good story they're especially enjoyable. It's like being able to decide how a novel should play out.

I own every Kyuss album, that's as close as I ever got to D&D.
Never mind...
Too late, I saw it. Speak your mind, son. Don't be a....a.....a......NERD!!!!!
LOL...you know we were all thinking the same thing....i just figured it wouldnt go over well.
Only computer games for me. Preferably horror based first person shooters. That is my stress relief. I get tense,
I fire up the gaming PC and kill something.

BAHAHA i lol'd so hard at this I peed a little.
But I have never played DnD but I am Definitely trying to. I have a suit of Chain Mail armor and a rogue outfit I wear out to the Norman Medieval Fair, haha if you guys ever want to get a group together and play you can count me in! Though i will need to be taught because i dont know ANY one that still plays it and have about 3 friends that want to!
Actually the folks in my last D&D group were the most squared-away and earth-grounded group of people I've spent time with in years. Plus they shoot and carry (and shoot well).
