Dunno mebbe I was just stressed and emo at the time---the people who stuck around seemed to really like/enjoy the game.

I've never played DnD and i'm pretty sure that whatever setup you guys had in mind originally I said I didn't have time for

DnD (and other forms of Roleplay) are difficult to have a group with because it requires each player to actually be into it. If one person is seriously roleplaying and another is half-assing it, no one is having fun. You need to be able to turn off your self-awareness and just play pretend, which is harder than it sounds for some people.

Other people are really tryhard and douchey when they play and make it impossible for anyone to have fun because they feel the need to describe every detail of their Mary Sue character every two seconds.

As it stands I still have an outline of the story, I just haven't gotten around to doing much with it and also it seems that everyone else forgot about it until now.

<3 Nope, genuinely haven't, but definitely been busy with other things (including my own campaign). Will try to work on it promise.

I found the easiest way to get around self awareness is to use chatrooms, or roll 20.

Also, since people were talking about rulesets, I've always liked Pathfinder da bes.

It's so fun :3 wish there was a ping fix though... I'm just trying to win 1v2 hardest computers but struggling. Run out of gold before I can finish and then don't have any siege units to break through.

That's pretty much how freeform RP systems work. They take out all the rules that bog down the parts of roleplaying that aren't the interesting parts of it anymore anyway now that we have video games when we want to generate random numbers for killing imaginary orcs.

The purpose of rules in roleplaying is to create variation and surprises so that there's some aspect of the story that's outside of the storyteller's direct control forcing you to improvise. The problem is that with D&D's rules being so combat-centric, failure tends to just involve a main character dying.

Depends hugely on the GM imo. Some GM's will make you roll through every little thing, some GM's will make the story more free flow and skip some skill checks, etc etc.

I don't mind the strong combat-centric rules in combat, but sometimes those multi 1 dice rolls make me want to punch babies.

The GM is the tough part yeah. My brothers and I were lucky as young lads to have a babysitter (more or less...) who was into MtG and DnD. My friend would come over at like 8am (we were like 5th grade or something) and the questing began!

Christmas Eve everybody!!

IT'S XMAS EEEVVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I fucking love xmas. Although I didn't end up packing last night (Smite with ComaDose more important obv), so I'll have to do that after work. Looking forward to a ridiculously full house.

My 2 friends that GM do a pretty good job with our campaign. They're reasonable about most stuff and incredibly patient with us, especially considering there's usually 6-8 people in our party all drunk as hell lol.

I mean, I'd still prefer Neal (Neil?) as a GM, but...

yoooo all you Europeans, how can I fly super cheap flights from country to country? or are trains the better way to go?

I'm looking to go from Istanbul to Spain/Italy/France.

From what I've heard, transit between European countries is fairly cheap/easy - although I'm not sure if flights or trains are better. My brother spent a month there at the start of the year, and I think I remember him flying quite a bit.

My problem with RPing is keeping up the will to keep playing after a few sessions despite the huge number of hours required per session. You can read the manual and get a handle on the mechanics and all and then suddenly you realize that with all the turn-taking and dice rolls a single battle just took 5-6 hours and even when you're in plain RP-mode it feels like it takes another 5-6 hour session to do anything remotely important. And then, perhaps because me and Monte were doing it online with other people we just kinda knew from a forum, people would just stop meeting after 1 to 6 sessions as a result of IRL stuff. So I have a hard time imagining *any* campaign running to completion, though I guess somehow people must do it.

For what it's worth when I traveled in Europe we did it mostly by train/bus/boat. But then when we were doing that we were spending our time mostly in countries closer together than that (croatia, montenegro, italy, greece). I think it really just comes down to how much time you have and how much time you want to spend per country, each country easily has enough stuff in it to occupy you for a week if you look it up ahead of time.

Can't help ya Galt. My experience with Europe is flying to Paris from home and back again. All I can say is US Airways was decent and Continental sucked.

After playing games with Coma quite a bit lately, I think I have to say that "hoser" is one of my favorite insults ever.

Man I'd love to try DnD but my free time isn't consistent and I wouldn't want to ruin it for other people I'm playing with. But I've thought about it a lot! Either a fully tattooed elf with a rough and lonely history or a dwarf who just wants to be a hero and save people but drinks a bit too much!
