Anyone else play D&D?

Does a half-elvish assassin get a "moving silently" bonus?

Since 1980. Wrote many books and articles for it, plus a freelancing column. Why? You up for a game?

Offhand I can name one mod and many normal users who play D&D or some similar PnP RPG. It's not exactly an uncommon activity among nerdy writers

Started with D&D, went to AD&D, then second edition, then it became D&D again...what a long strange trip it's been.

I think they're on version 3.7812345 what I hear. haha

SURE!

Oh sorry I read it wrong, I thought you meant S&M

<cue comedy drums and cymbal>

I've played AD&D but prefer other roleplaying systems m'self.

I played sporadically as a kid, played 2nd Edition once in high school, and never since. Never knew any other people worth gaming with, and wasn't so invested in the hobby to seek out a group of strangers to play with.

I still have all of my miniatures.

Sorry, never was into D & D. Millions of other games. Am a big player of CoH and Cov now. That's about as nerdy of a writer as I can get. lol

I played many RPGs, several for years. Of course, I also hung out with actors who have an uncanny ability to riff on anything. Haven't played in years, though my husband has started helping my son and his friends. Gotta nurture that imaginative side and video games don't do that.

There's a buried thread here in Office Party I started a while back asking for help with D&D.

I am now a very successful DUNGEON MASTAR!

And all my little PC's love me because I also cook them dinner about half the time. [Note: "Little PC's" being all of my husband's male coworkers...]

We just switched to 4th edition, which I have to say is sooooo-ho much easier on me.

Oh awesome, Jo!
This thread had me wondering how your game was going

Well, actually! I am finding it a constant (but manageable) challenge to balance two of my players - I told you about the one "power gamer" who only cares about his stats and being powerful ("Do I get experience points if I kill this group of helpless children?") but it turns out I also have someone who is the exact opposite - he ONLY wants the story. He is playing a rogue and whenever anyone gets in a fight he immediately runs away and hides the entire time.

So I reeeeeally have to balance the story and fighting elements, and then accept that neither is going to be completely happy. My other players are more reasonable, thank goodness! And quite funny, too.

Actually Jo, if you let the thief hide for... several hours of gameplay... one day, the player might reconsider all by himself

And I wouldn't tell the powergamer what he's getting XP or not for. I'd tell him to do what he thinks best, then tell him at session end that I'm taking away XP for blatant powergaming.

They only need to be really unhappy about the effects of their actions once to get it. :sweet smile:

Yes. AND I married the best DM I ever played with, too.

Funny, so did my husband






Course, for the longest time I was the only DM/GM he played with.

Does Icewind Dale count?
