Poll: Do you still play DnD (Dungeons and Dragons)?

[gigastrike]

I've wanted to, but all of the DMs that I've found either decided that they didn't want to set up a game, decided that the team was full, or were total dicks.

I was doing a Narratology course and as it obivously had nothing to teach us, made us do roleplaying games to "examine the narrative". So in groups we played DnD style games. My group was doing a warhammer 40k one, which took 3 lessons (so 3 weeks) to set up and then we did it for 2 lessons.

It was a bit boring all in all and I think it was just a case of people going out of character and asking questions all the time that ruined it. Don't think it's my thing though.

 

[DistinctlyBenign]

No I don't still play D&D.

I've moved on to Savage Worlds. I like it, its a nice universal system. And it lets me roll a lot of different kinds of dice instead of a ton of D20's all the time.

I play Vampire: The Masquerade (No, I havn't upgraded to nWoD yet) sometimes too.

 

[JWW]

Never have. As a little shit, I demand that all RPG's be on electronics.

If you had to tell people in the title what DnD stood for, their answer is probably no.

Rouge Trader? Dark Heresy?

The problem was exactly yours. You didnt have Fun with it.
A rogue Trader game i played, i played as The Sniper, from team fortress 2 In character, Australian accent, and over 90 ballistics skill thanks to many buffs and man stopper rounds.
Everyone in that game where playing as TF2 class XD
The Soldier, The Medic, The Demoman (who's Great with voices) The Heavy, the Pyro, with a Heretic alien device latch onto some psykers mind who we had to destroy.

Think it was Dark Heresey. The best part of it was when I hit my mate in the back with my sniper when trying to kill a zombie thing infront of him. Almost one-hit KOd him too. He was the guy who kept talking all the time

Still play DnD?
I just started!

Me and a couple of friends started playing DnD.
With me being GM.

It's going rather well.
Just need to think of a way to get maps for on the table without spending liters on printer ink.

So anyways, out of my entire town, me and my freinds seem to have the only dnd group going, and this town has over 5000 people in it. Is dnd becoming a lost art, or is my town just a bad example. I only have 5 people who play dnd, just to put it in perspective.

so, do you still play dnd?

Exact same setting here. My town is about 5,500 people, up in the middle of nowhere. My wife, three friends, and I play. Used to be another group in town, but they have since broken up (something to do with one sleeping with another, ect). Since then, it's just us 5. Usually end up taking turns running as DM, each with their own game, to keep from burning out. My players rock, and we look forward to every Saturday.

We have been playing since the original D&D first came out, and I suspect we'll be playing up until our dying day. Also enjoy other game systems like White Wolf games, Mutants and Masterminds, and even kicked it old-school with G.U.R.P.S.

D&D isn't a lost art, honestly. I have a feeling that's it's more of your geographic location than anything. Don't lose heart. You guys aren't alone. =)

Heh, same scenario here. Weird.

But yeah, there's more there, but just like you, they think they're alone. Stick a flier in your local game & hobby/comic shop. ^_^

I don't like DnD anymore. It's too limiting. I'm developing my own RPG system instead. It's coming along quite well.

However, that effectively counts. Roll-play is roll-play no matter what game you're playing.

How are you doing that?
OT:I never played tabletop but i did play dnd online

I set myself up a Wiki and started writing. I've done a lot of design projects for pen/paper RPGs, so this comes pretty naturally to me. I'm also majoring in Game Design; that helps too.

Interesting, well if you get it worked out, do you mind letting me know?

I'll eventually get a constant server up and running. Right now I'm using my gaming PC. It's a power hog. When I get the server up I'll post a link to it in my profile.

 

[Lizardon]

My friends and I get together occasionally, but we all live far apart so our sessions are infequent. If I could, I would play more often.

Me and my cousins might play Hero Quest or Necromunda every now and then when we are all off Uni/work. Sadly most people don't care about the old school table top/board games.

25 years running. Always DM / Storyteller.

Mostly using the modified 3.5 ED d20 system for sci fi games currently.

Initially, Wizards of the Coast purchase revitalized franchise, 3.0/3.5 bringing updated rules and improved art / publishing to the feel the the 1st edition and the developments of the 2nd under TSR. However, creating the open d20 liscence was good, but dropping it for DnD 4th Ed. really hurt the industry as well as the game. Many 3rd party publishers focusing on developing d20 supplements instead of original IP only to have it go obsolete.

Supportive business gestures really can damage a cottage industry if you pull them away after bulding them up.

Sooo... Fuck 4E, I suppose.

 

[child of lileth]

I never tried it, but it always seemed like something I'd like to try out at some point.

Limiting?

I'm confused here, it has no limit to be honest.

I may have got it wrong though >.>

And yeah, haven't for a while, but I count myself as a player.

 

[Dracovec]

i try to play/dm a game at least once a week for 3.5
most of my gaming friends have moved away,me included,so trying to find a group outside my room mate and my fiance is kinda hard..
playing over the phone conferencing is our new tactic to keep us playing lol

 

[Macgyvercas]

I play Dungeons & Dragons Online, I play pen and paper Chivalry & Sorcery, and when I get my group back together, we'll play pen and papaer D&D (3.5e...they have more Eberron campaigns)

 

[Slycne]

Yep, every Monday night. This campaign will be hitting its one year mark next week too.

 

[Vivace-Vivian]

I used to run a school group of it. Sort of died off with that for me there. Can't find anyone else who wants to play.

 

[linwolf]

Played a few times as a kid, would love to start again but don't know anyone who plays it.
