Dungeons & Dragons

[unchaste]

My friend just called me and wanted to know if I wanted to be his Dungeon Master (no, not that kind of dungeon master). I was kinda interested in hign school, but now I'm wondering, should I lower myself to this new level of dorkieness? Is it fun, or just time consuming? Your thoughts, please.

[Shade Everdark]

Ahem, at the risk of revealing my super ultra-dorkiness to everyone...I will admit that I had been playing in a campaign of a year and a half, and at the close of that compaign, have started my first campaign as a DM.

I find it to be a lot of fun, and challenging at the same time. It forces me to use my long-atrophied creativity, and also (especially as a DM) requires me to think on my feet, something which I am not accustomed to doing.

And there's a delicoiusly evil sense of power one gets from devising ways of...not killing your party, but coming as close as humanly possible without actually killing them. It's a kind of torture, really.

[paradox]

sure, why not?

[Scary Guy]

Played D&D, Rifts, and a ton of online RPG's that don't count.

However I view it as another form of storytelling. If you like stories go for it.

Its not dorky....my freinds all do it and if I wasn't so busy I would join them

[kellygrrrrrl]

My friend Patrick plays it, and I always make fun of him for it.....

I went a few times with him it looked really boring. I never played it so I can't say.

DORKY! Nerdy geeky......

Uhhh that's NOT a bad thing......I LOVE GEEKS

Ummmm. First of all, it IS dorky.

Secondly, it shouldnt stop you from doing it.

Try it out. See what you think.

Just don't try to get anyone to bed with a 10-sided die.

(On second thought, that might work a little better for hot women than dorky men)

[the eternal]

OOOOh.

That reminds me.

MY friend just told me she was the keymaster and wanted to know if I was the gatekeeper.

Does that count for anything?

GAH

first tabletop since preps for the grand reentrance of the "welsh nutters" in LARP kicked off

Factor in that your vehicles burn fuel more efficiently and also that your fuel is higher octane. Might as well call it $7 per gallon. We're at about $3.00/gallon right now.

hehe, I'd do it, most of the people I know from here play games, I love geeky stuff, I paint minis, I play a game that most people don't, and I'd do rpg's if I lived near a group. have fun, who cares what people who don't know you think? we here obviuosly think it's a great thing to do!

[Head Wreck]

oh minatures...

heh

remember i wiped smile of Games Workshop HQ staff at a game when they just released this uber tank they were pushing as the next hot thing in the game (the land raider re-release)

so on a huge table, on front of HQ staff, and customers...

this (well two of them), which worked out at half the balance points of thier tanks kept every one of them in thier deployment zone, no matter how many times they put them back on (about 7 tanks, 9 times respawned.)

each of these cost me £40 in kits to make.

[Killer_Bunnie]

that's awesome! I want a pic of some of mine taken, I need a new camera, my brother broke mine. when I do, I'm sure I'll put my best ones in the picture section.

i cant tell exactly what it is (im not an imperial guy, hey) ?

kit-bashed basilisk? some version of a leman russ?

yea, i play geeky mini games... :laughing

[Head Wreck]

my own creation

Mikhov armoured vehicle.

leman russ vanquisher without a turret (so skimp save on points cost)

and added pinatle mount twin linked storm bolter (for city fight, enclosed due to deathworld troops) and transport for 5 imp storm troopers

i gotto take photos of the setup soon. steel legion troops used (looked like post apocalyptic soviet style).

to wett appetite:

as to DM'ing a game

tbh i'd play a round or two to get the feel of role play before DM'ing your own campaign

[paradox]

ah yes, the old VDR rules. :grin

[Nienna]

I love tabletop gaming... I don't like being the DorkMaster though... I just like to be a peon-dork.

[paradox]

so when are you going to join out game club at mini art of war? =)

[dragoth]

DnD is nifty, but I find Magic:TG more enjoyable personally

[paradox]

M:tG is gamer crack. it is pure evil. they spray those cards with addictive chemicals that turn you into card-whores...

honest... :fear

i kicked my habit long ago. im on the pewter now...

[Mikielikesit]
