Tabletops!, A place to discuss TP-RPGs Options

[Arcry]

So this part of the forum seemed kinda unused so I thought - 'Hey! Why not make a thread about Tabletops in the Roleplaying section! Not sure if I'm the only one, but I play a lil every monday with my group and thought, if anyone else played or was interested, this could be a place to post stories and the like. Maybe past Characters, future characters, ect.

Tabletop gaming changed my life in high school! It literally kept me out of trouble, because I was no longer out running around with a crowd od near-hoodlum druggies. Instead, I was staying indoors with a group of friends. My parents approved a hell of a lot, of course! ... Mostly we played The Fantasy Trip, which was similar to DnD, but its character generation & dice rolls were a lot more realistic. I continued tablegaming into college, but somewhere in the late '80s, but eventually dating and real-life stuff began to take over.

That's really great you are able to still keep gaming in this way, Arcry. It is really fun gaming with a group of others, You'd think it might be boring because it's so slow, right? A fight which takes 30 seconds in a videogame could take well over an hour with real dice rolls / book notations. But the truth is, time really does fly, because we were all having fun

Yeah I started gaming in my High School years too. Was introduced to it by my cousin after his brother died. He, myself, and my step brother became kinda close after he lost his own brother and I think the Tabletoping really helped him. I know I had a good time.

My first system back then was a homebrewed system by a local friend of our DM. It saw limited print- Adventure Maximum or Admax for short. I still miss those games. Our DM was also a published author, he used tabletop to help flesh out his books. Was a heck of a time.
