We actually have a semiweekly gaming group here at The Escapist offices. We use the company boardroom on friday nights and play in big leather chairs with a whiteboard for important orc-bashing encounter planning. We've played D&D 2nd edition, D&D 3.5, Cyberpunk 2020, and some obscure indie and retro RPGs (Hard Nova, TSR's Conan (1984), Aftermath etc).

Joe Blancato, our loveable content editor, is exceptionally noted for his short lifespan, while our E-I-C is feared for her chaotic evil.
This sounds amazing... board room DnD. Leather chairs, a lot of ale and snacks and group of friends. If only I could hijack a suitable location.
Pub function room would probably be best.

I grew up playing D&D off and on... It pains me to causally scan though modern ( 3rd Ed & up) D&D books and see what crap they've become.

Been playing DnD for about 5 years now. Great hobby. When you get a good story, setting and characters.
Can be annoying when one of your group keeps Team Killing cos of his alignment. Or killing NPC's that get us in tones of shit. Or trying to seduce his way through an entire village claiming he's some kind of god/spirit and that they should harbour his offspring.
That guy always could mess up an campaign... fun times.
Yeah, we had a guy like that... I just kept killing his characters until he got smart and made one a little less of an A-hole.
He ended up eventually playing one of the best paladins I've ever DMed. Heroic and everything.. That character died after accidentally killing an evil man who was beating his wife and then turned himself into the local authorities knowing the party could get him out with no one the wiser AND knowing that he would be hung for murder (the wife beater was wealthy and had fooled the locals into thinking he was a pretty swell guy). One of the best RP moments we ever had and it was that a-hole kid who suddenly just stopped being an a-hole once he realized it wasn't all about just killing everyone he met.

As will I, if I ever find the headquarters and bone up on my ninja skills... Those are mostly Dex based right? ;)

I've always wanted to play as a Chaotic Nutral Mind Controler but my friend doesn't trust me with the power. Bwahahaha! I'm just fooling qaround. Although I do like the stories that I hear from the game.

I remember this little red book. Where you could only get to level five. Dwarves and Elves were classes. Oh those halcyon days of yore, where have you gone?

I actually stopped playing DnD a while back, though I briefly looked into 3.5. I do still like getting into online games of Savage Worlds though. They work out quite well on skype.

Wow, that's quite awesome. It also gives me hope for certain players of mine...

I used to play D&D.

Then I played other roleplaying games, and lost interest. Then hated it.

I roleplay a lot more since I moved away from D&D.

I always find myself playing around with stats too much with D&D.

Now I run a larp system. Some of the players are in a D&D game. Most of the time, they talk about how awesome larp is instead of play D&D. It makes me proud. I hope it annoys the DM, who doesn't like larp, and has spent a huge amount on splatbooks.

Nice hate there but the roleplaying is only as good as the story being told.

I play D&D (about to go to a session actually.) I've been playing for fourteen years, off and on. With a lot of moving in my teen years it was really hard to maintain a group. My current group has played a variety of settings, including DM-constructed and Ravenloft. It's a lot of socializing and food. My favorite class is monk, although I haven't played one in an actual campaign yet what with DMing for quite a few years.

I'm curious about the D&D 4th edition, but at the same time, in a setting like Ravenloft where we play as PCs are all human, that kind of takes away from the revitalization of character races.

We don't have problems with people using laptops, most people are good at paying attention, multi-tasking, and using laptops as aids to the game instead of impediments. We have one problem player but he doesn't have a laptop. Instead he brings books and handhelds and generally doesn't pay attention until somebody starts repeating his name.

I played for a few years, but had an ass DM who kicked me out because I wouldn't put up with his on-the-fly rules designed to screw me over and intent to make my play as hard as possible. Since then, I've met heaps of people that have groups, but my shift work makes it hard to consider co-ordinating games.

So I just play Baldur's Gate.

Oh, and I've been working on my own world for about nine years.

Ah, the good ol' PKDM. You know you're in for trouble when the DM is looking through the Monster Manual and says "Ooh, those look cool".
