Poll: The Table Top RPG

[SageSteven]

From what I've gathered in the past few weeks of watching the Forum threads on the side, people have greatly varying opinions which type of game story telling is better then the next. However, there are other mediums of gaming story telling that do not get as much attention, the Table Top RPG being one of them. These games, typically played with pencils and paper, are a the most traditional way of telling stories with game play.

I started playing first edition Dungeons and Dragons back in the day with my family and progressed through the editions. I still play the game on a weekly basis with a group of friends, face to face, for a few hours of fun. Last spring, I started playing The Call of Cthulhu after reading a few HP Lovecraft stories. Since then, I have read a majority of his work and played through a multitude of different scenarios.

The gaming systems aside, the external narratives of these games are the most fond memories I have of my family and friends.

I've tried to get into them, but well meh

No option for me...I don't hate them. I just never get the chance to play. So, I've never played.

While i haven't played any in the last couple of years due to our group dispersing over the globe, we used to mainly play Vampire: the masquerade, which i still think is the best tabletop. We had some forays into D&D (of course), Werewolf and Waste World, but the main one has always been Vampire.

I play Dungeons and Dragons (mostly 3.5 still), as well as Star Wars - Saga Edition, because the other ones are too broken - and sometimes a little bit of Shadowrun. Very rarely, my group and I all get the urge to play BESM. If we're drunk, or something.

Oh, and I forgot the occasional campaign of White Wolf, too...

I have two groups of friends that play DnD one group on 3.5 and one doing unforgotten realms. good fun if you're in the mood for it, the same as any other game really

Ohlordamighty...I've been D&Ding for almost 20 years now. (Yes, I'm old. Now bugger off and stay the hell offa my lawn...)
If I look at my RPG history, we're talking D&D (Waa-aay back to 1st ed.), Gurps, Rifts, Star Wars, Vampire: The Masquerade, LotR, Cyberpunk ... but I answered Shadowrun on the poll...because that's the only game I ever GMed. I freakin' love that game.
I'm also looking forward to giving the Dragon Age tabletop a try....

I've played a few different ones, but my only ongoing one currently is D&D 4e. But soon I should be starting to DM for the pathfinder 1 on 1 adventures.

Me and a feww of my friends every few times a week get together to play something. Last school semester we played through a campaign of Exalted. This semester we are plaything through Alternety, just finish our character sheets last night. DnD is far too simplistic and boring for our tastes.

I don't have the sort of time I used to be able to invest into these games, but I have enjoyed D&D in the past. I've also played some Vampire: The Masquerade (not recommended) and Heavy Gear (pretty good).
