I'm just curious how many people here like to play tabletop Role Playing Games?
A little about my RPG history (or lack thereof?) [feel free to talk about yours too]
Back before I moved out to the middle of nowhere out in the country, i'd always hang out at a hobby shop playing tcgs and saw all the guys at the RPG tables having loads of fun acting out their characters, rolling dice, you name it. I wanted to play but never got the chance before I moved out to where I live now. Anywho, so I got some friends online who were interested in doing a AIM chat Star Wars RPG session, so I bought the new Saga Edition Core Rulebook. Well, it never went through. Then my step sister came into town who I'd just met (long story) and turned out she and her boyfriend were BIG into RPGs, and they got me interested in Exalted: Second Edition while she was out here. We even got as far as to setting up a night after I moved into my own appartment that we cracked open the books and played a game. Well, she and her bf went back to where he lived in Chicago, and they promised we'd continue the game over MSN Messenger, then !@#$% happened and that didnt go well. Couple months later, a friend on AIM got me interested in trying out WoW RPG, so i got the book, and That too didnt go well. Plus its rumored the game might be discontinued. I have bad luck with RPGs so much, yet I still am fond of them and never wanna give up on trying em out.
Any of u RPGers might know of any good sites I might wanna check out or any IRC channels devoted to RPing by the book? Anywho, I wanna hear some of your stories too!
