I know I'm a big nerd, but...
 

does anyone else play Dungeons & Dragons? :o

Not in a long time, but I loved it back when I did.

I liked the Baldur's Gate/Icewind Dale/Planescape: Torment games a couple of years back. And I've always liked skimming through monster manuals. But I've never played.

Not in about 25 years.....EEEKKKKK I was even a geek back then!!

I also used to play one that was based in outer space.....I don't recall it. One character type was a michilen (sp?)/stay puft marshmallow man type though..

I haven't since college, but our friends all play D&D type games now - some of them fun, some of them freakishly weird - makes game nights mighty interesting, that's for certain!

We've been hooked on CheapAss games for a while now (Devil Bunny Needs a Ham is my favorite, along with Exploding Cow). We also play World of Warcraft - which while not D&D, definitely has that 'feel'.

Yes, I'm Dagney, and I'm a geek :) (And married to one to boot - our children have no hope *G*)

Not for many years.....but I was totally addicted to Ultima Online for about 4 years does that count?:P

I never played it, because it was already like 10 years old when I was born. But i've definitely been influenced by it, in my computer gaming of course.

A level 47 Dark Necromancer? Psssssh, got nothing on my RAGNAROK!!!!!!!

Hated the game, loved the conversations between moves and the White Castle burgers we would get at 2am after playing on Friday nights.

I was Arlm, Far Ranger. And my most powerful weapon was a magic girdle.
Another piece of the puzzle falls into place. lol!!!

I'd play with my friends, and we would play the same adventure multiple times, doing things differently each time. And each time we would replay the same adventure, we would keep the loot from the last time we played, but it would miraculously appear again in that dungeon. After a while, we all had the rings of invisibility, gauntlets of ogre power, and the +2 flaming sword. It was like magic.

Oh my God.

I just realized I still play it. But I play with my kids, and we pretend we are superheroes. And we rescue people. It's called Captain Justice. And they beg to play. There's no dice and no books, but it's totally a role playing imagination game we play. We take turns making up adventures. Damn, I'm raising little nerds to keep me company.

Nerd dads rule!

Ditto that.

I'm not sure what that has to do with anything.

I'm only two years older than you, dude! :o

He might miss a phone call playing that.

I gave all my books, notes, dungeons (my designs) and die away in CA, when I could no longer find someone to play REAL D&D. (more stuff than you can imagine)
If you don't have an imagination and you need toys to play you might as well play video games... kids... punks...pah!

Yes, I do. Usually on the weekend with friends, but sadly work schedules lately have made that more difficult.

not since most of my old d&d group started using it as an excuse to get away from the wives and kids and turned it into a smoke-a-thon.. and I'll be damned! if they're getting any more of my money.. I mean c'mon! I bought from chainmail up until 3.0 edition. the thing that started bugging me is that it seemed that the system was moving away from the more 'realistic' and back to a system closer to basic d&d.. I dunno more fantastic.. I didn't like it, although.. I am rather fond of the newer d&d video games.

A few times with friends in the know back when I was in grade school. I was a nerd, but apparently not nerdy enough.

Magic: The Gathering anyone?
Don't judge.
I was young and foolish.
There are way cheaper ways to be nerdy.

I wish I could find my bag of polyhedra dice. I like gem dice. They gleam like great precious stones. Yeah -- D&D old-school.

Haven't played since the Navy, twenty and more years ago.

I think of the game as a fantasy novel, written on the fly by the efforts and stratagems of the people around the table.

Oh, and I recommend Knights Of The Dinner Table. There's gamer humor for ya!

I haven't played since my GM moved to Long Island. which was probably about 10 years ago.

(He actually has come back for one night games a couple of times, but now most of the rest of the gaming group has scattered to the winds.)

it's like sex with an old girlfriend ain't it. when I go to california, I always get roped into DMing a session. I love it and miss it. but the crew I played with... we all moved on. although I have been working on a mmorg

I tried to get into it, I really did, but my inherent lack of luck in anything having to do with random chance finally frustrated me into giving up.

I once got killed by *bees* in a game. Bees.

Don't feel bad; even Macaulay Culkin made a bad roll against bees in that "My Girl" movie.

*slap slap* AAaaaAAAaahhhhh! The bees they're in my bonnet, stinging my ass to death!

mmm.. sharp edged 20 sided dice.... anyone remember when they stopped making the sharp edged ones and went all roundie? I still have my matching purple/clear sharp edged dice... wrapped up lovingly with an old copy of keep on the borderlands... *sigh*
