Do you play pen-&-paper roleplaying games?

Ya know, I voted No yesterday, but now I think I'd have to say Yes. I don't do litteraly P&P RPing, but I do alot of forum-based RPing.

-1000 Years War-

-Immortal Hell: The Eternal War-

There's a couple if anyone's interested.

A forum role playing game I play is:
Jedi vs Sith
It is actually taken seriously by the players when they are playing the game.

I used to before college. Made my own gameworlds, drew the maps, made my own custom rules and adventures. I was pretty hardcore. No audience for it now though.

AD&D (second edition) was my favorite, although I also played cyberspace, shadowrun, marvel, vampire the masquerade, star wars, and tales from the floating vagabond.

I enjoy torturing my player's characters. My best friend and I used to alternate back and forth DMing, and we were both sadistic. I still remember some of those adventures. Lich. Trolls. Trapped under a mountain.

Lich, trolls, trapped? Is that all, Doug?
As a DM i managed to (nearly) destroy a whole party of five with just a simple maze trap (the descending ceiling) that shouldn't have harmed anyone. Had to magically revive them.
But the best session i remember is one without any fight. RPing a diabolic dinner party, where the adventurers were invited by an insane baron to tell stories about their heroics.

I used to have some of the old D&D boxed sets (the series that started with the red box), and i made a couple of my own games. Like others, I spent much more time thinking and reading about the games than playing them.

I thought it'd be fun to collect the newest D&D books, even if I never play. Anybody have an opinion of them other than "tripe"?

Okay! I've read pages of pages of reviews of 4th edition on amazon, I think I'm going to get it. I totally skipped 3.x, and have no rpg books of any kind. It's been years and years since I've played one. I think 4th edition will be a good fit for me. Next I'll be wanting people to play it with. :p

As quite a hardcore DnD player I can say from my experiance 4.0 is fun but nothing compared to 3.5.

4.0 is a massive simplification and thus gives much less area to RP in. I think it was a bad turn for them to take. For those new to DnD go for it, you will enjoy it, though at some time play 3.5. It may be a little more complicated to 4.0 but the depth of gameplay and RP is tenfold.

I did the gameworlds thing, and I can confirm the problems with audience. Most people would rather vegetate with WoW and Magic the Gathering...

I started playing 2nd edition and I loved it... but I must concede that 3.0 made getting players much easier.

I own the 4.0 books, but I don't like the look of it and haven't actually played.

Oh, and pen and paper D&D is awesome. It's my favourite game of all-time and blows away any computer game I've ever played.

EDIT: For reference, I have over 30 D&D books on my shelf at my flat... which isn't even half my collection. I spent alot of time and money on D&D during my teen years.
