The Pen-And-Paper RPG thread! Options

[Colonel Mustard]

Just posted this up out of curiosity to see who here on the forums plays any kind of Pen-And-Paper/Tabletop RPGs in the vein of D&D, Call of Cthulhu, Exalted etc. I'm a player of Pathfinder (think D&D version 3.75) and have dabbled in Call of Cthluhu and the Warhammer 40,000 RPGs, and I'm just interested in seeing what people on the forum have done in regard in regard to these games, seeing as these boards are devoted to an RPG series; you a hardened veterans of the dungeon crawl? An exhausted, baffled and exasperated DM? A fresh-faced level 1 fighter with little experience of the game and no idea why the DM keeps bursting into tears whenever you suggest Bull Rushing somebody? Or are you just RPG-curious*?

Anyway, this is the Colonel Mustard totally not a survey to see if he's truly alone in this harsh, dark world thread. Do have fun, and I am curious to see how many vidja gamers play on the tabletop as well.

I still play Dungeons & Dragons, but my last campaign died out and my new one is just waiting to be started. I wouldn't be surprised if most of the writers here who had played it, still play it. I love the creativity of them that videogames simply can not capture.

I'm in a similar boat with my current gaming group (most of whom are now all over the place at University), and I'm currently bereft of a group to DM for; back at school we played semi-regularly and got about halfway through a Pathfinder campaign but now we never see each other at all often. The only other gaming I've done is online stuff through chat programs, and I'm wishing I could track down the online bunch I used to play Deathwatch and Rogue Trader with on MSN Messenger but alas, no such luck.
