Dude. You're posting to an Evolution vs. Creationism debate forum. You argue on the interwebs over SCIENCE! The only thing more nerdy than that is arguing over the interwebs over whether Star Trek or Star Wars would win in a straight up fight, with meticulously derived upper and lower bounds for weapon strength, speed, force size, etc.
We're all nerds here. Except for maybe a few of the Creationists, who fit better in the Jesus-freak clique.
the prequels never happened there is only the original trilogy jarjar does not exist darth vader was not a wooden emotionless tool of a teenager he was not beaten by some retarded "anakin i have the high ground" bullshit the clone wars were not some lame clone army of the republic against a bunch of fucking incompetent droids who dont even refer to us as "meatbags" like a proper killer droid the emperor never screamed "unlimited power" and was not named fucking darth sidious he was the goddamned emperor and darth motherfucking sidious is a fucking lame name to give an evil
No worries, all role players are by definition a bit nerdy.
My oldest daughter, 13, just started playing RPG with a (team?) of kids in school. I never payed but I always hung out with the D&D crew. Actually, IIRC, the first time I ever tried pot was with the D&D crew.
What type of character would you play if you did role play?
I have no idea lol. How do you even get started on designing a "type" of character?
This is the only type of role playing I've ever done (about a minute in).
The most obvious one is the Middle Eartheasque world with elves and dwarves and humans. This is where D&D is typically set.
I think this would be the most interesting to me. Although the espionage sounds really cool. I've never heard of that type of RPG.
The elves in LotR were really cool (their history, abilities, etc.). So I'd stick with wizard/theif.
What do you normally use? Is their snobery in RPG as far as which charaters you use? Which are the "gay" characters that you make fun of? Do you guys talk shit to each other while you play or is there a serious tone in the game?
My favourite game/genre is Call of Cthullu - RPG in HP Lovecraft's dark 1920's.
Ah, so that's where Metallica got Call of Kutulu from.
Refereeing a good game is an art, and with the right players can be extraordinarily dark and intense
Refereeing? There's referee's? Now whats his/your job as a ref?
I've also had amazing games of Vampire (The Masquerade) and Mage - all of these have been much more exercises in role-playing than your usual hack and slash D&D. Though for the best FRPG hack & slash, you can't beat Runequest - all hail Orlanth Rex
Most RPG characters start out relatively puny. This is certainly true in D&D. If you're a 1st level wizard, you probably get to cast one Magic Missile per day. ZAP! That's it, you shot your bolt. Being multi-class makes you more of an all-rounder, but you advance slower.
This does put some people off, but for me the real pleasure is in advancing the character through gameplay. They get stronger and you get more of an idea about what makes them tick as personalities.
Ok, so these games, and characters, they evolve as the game progresses. Is it one single game, or story? How does the game progress?
Is it one game that goes on forever?
How do you win, or are there winners?
Do you save some kind of "time playing the game" and this establishes the power of your character? Or is it recorded somewhere?
) might enjoy it.
