let this be my official 1000points thread.
i spent a big part of my childhood playing them. now about a year ago i found them again. one of the best ways to spend time.
as me and my co-players are older, the gaming has changed from kill-the-goblins to very intense, psychological sessions that are really mind-cleaning.
so, my dear tronicomians (god i like that word), do YOU like RPGs? if so, why? what are your favourites?
right now, i am involved in call of cthulhu and unknown armies campaigns.
also the people, who think RPGs are something greasy nerds do because they dont have a life, i would like to know why you think so.

If D&D Was UA Andy Schultz had this posted at his site, though he says he's not the originator. Whoever it is, I found this highly amusing.
Playing Dungeons & Dragons under the Unknown Armies system
GM: Orcs have thick, brawny necks, but no match for your powerful hands, and it feels good, it's a visceral thrill to feel those neckbones separate and snap. But you're distracted from your pleasure by the nagging yelp of one of the smallest orc warriors. "Pawgma!" it cries. "Pawgma! Pawgma!" It's familiar, one of the few orcish words you know. It means "Daddy . . ." Rank three Violence check!
PLAYER: Dammit. I knew I shouldn't have taken orcish as a language.

I'm not greasy or a nerd, but I do like a good RPG. Just that without a console, and with low specs on my PC I've fallen way behind. I want a decent plot as well, none of this fancy CGI horseshit (that comes second).
Hands up here who thought FF8 was extremely lacklustre.

yes, I love RPGs... but what are these pen and paper ones you talk of? How are they played?
I mostly play rpg's through a mud called Dark Castle... it's great, it's fantasy type stuff, and you go kill stuff, or other people, to make your character better... I really like the text based games such as this better then the graphic ones... it's like playing a book...

i used to play vampire, but me and my friends are really immature, so we'd be like "i'm gonna suck blood from that homeless man" "now you're addicted to crack!" stuff like that.
it was still fun

lackluster...
this is night-time to me & i'm drunk of course cause it's saturday night. (is that a phrase?) Saturnine is a good song, he rambles..
In between these false preconsumptions in someone elses mind he makes a sandwich and sits down again. Unknown armies is a mind-game.
Love u all.

I never liked PC-rpgs, not to mention pen and paper ones, but now I find myself waiting for one to launch in march (it's a mmorpg). Mostly because it will be like 'Elite' in space. My bounty hunter char is just itching to boldly go where nobody has gone before.

i played paper rpg once. there was only one, starting session really since the gm was a lazy and flegmatic guy and couldn't keep the party interested.
pc rpgs - i said it before and i said it again : Morrowind rules. I hope Oblivion will keep up with the legend/good tradition.
