So how many of you guys play these games?

One reason that this section may not get as much of a workout is that it is actually pretty hard to find without a concerted effort, and is a sub-forum of something else. I have been playing pen and paper for years, and am currently playing pen and paper with the use of a virtual tabletop and ventrillo. I had been wanting to advertise the game I play in, because my GM is looking for new players, but it took a while to locate the appropriate place for it. Just thought I'd let you know what my experience was with it.

It might be worth figuring out a way to bring it under it's own heading somewhere.

I'd love to get into d&d, specifically 4e but i've never found a stable online group willing to take on a complete (and i mean total) novice, and tt groups in my area are very clique-y and insular, which means they dont really take up new players either. They usually dont even let me sit in and watch a game unfold so i can get an idea of how to play by watching.

I think that a lot of people suffer the same problem, and thus can never get into it. Generally groups are already established and have a good rapport going within their circle, and to introduce new players is kinda tough on a campaign.

I am new to this thread.

I play in 2 differant groups on 2 differant nights per week. Both groups are 2nd Edition.

Even after playing since 1983(when I first started playing 1st Ed), the content is still new and unique. We play our own player created worlds.

The one big thing to remember in ALL RPGs is, "The only limitations in gaming, is YOUR IMAGINATION"

I play RPGs on PC these days but used to play quite a lot in the 80s. TBH my favourite gaming past time is miniature tabletop gaming. If you know nothing about it have a look at The Miniatures Page sometime. Currently I'm painting 28mm Carthaginians and just finished writing an army list for ancient rules "War and Conquest" based on the army of the Roman general Sertorius. So much more interesting then what we do in online games, fun as some can be.

I'm finding playing games online less and less appealing as the people seem to be getting less and less civil so much so that I daily question why I bother.
