Does anyone here like role playing games?

[shazzbaa]

I lost touch with my old group so I haven't played in a year or two, but I freakin' love D&D!

I've looked into FATE (I'd love to try it) and played a game of Savage Worlds, but D&D was my first love, haha!

[Aloredd]

I like playing the MMORPGs like World of Warcraft for pc and Destiny for the Xbox One....I haven't played any table top RPGs but I'd like to one day.

I don't have any tabletop rpg experience in the past but after planning and fixing timetables for almost a year we finally got to start our tabletop rpg a couple of weeks ago and even though everyone was kinda clumsy with the play since we are not that well adjusted to the rules yet it was a ton of fun! We are playing Shadowrun and I've already gotten so invested in my character and her backstory it's kinda insane. We have the next session next week and I can't wait!

I really like the style and lore of Shadowrun universe all together since I was first introduced to it by the Shadowrun Crossfire deckbuilding game (which is nice too, between our group of 5 people we own 3 copies of the game, haha). I like more modern fantasy stuff instead of high fantasy and I feel like Shadowrun does work perfectly for me in that aspect.

Getting the party together is always the hardest part XD

GURPS is, in my opinion the best system for rp, never got much into pathfinder, honestly the D&D system is very unbalanced and Path tries to fix everything but still isn't convincing to me. But ehh honestly it all depends on what kind of campaign you role

[donathinfrye]

@bakasama25 Some people would say that Baldur's Gate is one of the best RPGs ever. I dunno. There's also Planescape: Torment and a lot of other great ones that people make arguments for.

Honestly, and maybe it's because they're newer, but I personally think that The Witcher 3 and the Mass Effect Trilogy are the best video game RPGs that I've ever played. I love the others too, though! Divinity: Original Sin and Pillars of Eternity are pretty cool -- particularly their combat systems are neat. Their stories didn't hook me as much as some others.

@shazzbaa 5th Edition's a lot of fun. Roll20 makes for a pretty awesome online platform to play it, which sort of helps with the problems that a lot of folks have of getting a group together regularly. I'm surprised the Tapastic community doesn't have a Roll20 game run by creators who wanna livestream the campaign. That's some hotness in marketing land right now, and I'd love to see what a bunch of comic artists/writers do when thrown together in a good campaign.

@Iaikaa Shadowrun is fantastic! It's D&D cyberpunk with some really great lore and character hooks. Some other fun campaign settings that I tend to really dig ... Ravenloft (gothic fantasy/horror), Dark Sun (post-apocalyptic magic/fantasy) and Spelljammer (space magic!) If you dig Shadowrun, I think those might be some settings worth checking out for your next game. : )

I don't think I can do RP's. Like I enjoy video games like Dragon Age and Mass Effect where it's all scripted out for me and I just pick dialogue options. And I enjoy thinking of OCs and how they would fit into a particular world and interact with established characters (finished an Overwatch OC a couple days ago). But when it comes to actively assuming a role and basically improving, that's tougher.

5th Edition's a lot of fun. Roll20 makes for a pretty awesome online platform to play it, which sort of helps with the problems that a lot of folks have of getting a group together regularly.

I'd definitely love to try 5th at some point. : ) I grabbed the player's handbook when it first came out and it looks awesome!

And my old group used Roll20!! We actually weren't local at all -- we were friends from art college, so after college we were spread all across the US -- and I'll definitely speak to Roll20 being a really excellent tool. I played a necromancer, so being able to position my various armies of undead was kinda vital in big fights, haha!

[donathinfrye]

@shazzbaa Much love for Minion Masters <3 I've been DMing campaigns for the past seven years, but it looks like our current homebrew 5e campaign will end soon and I'll get to finally be a player again. I think that I wanna play an eco-terrorist. That sounds fun.

[hunterblackwriter]

I've been playing table top RPGs for something like 35 years. At the risk of self-promotion, my webcomic dips VERY deeply into my old D&D adventures and campaigns.

I enjoy role-playing for its own sake and don't feel constrained by genre...but easily 90% of all the gaming I've ever done has been playing some iteration of Dungeons & Dragons. I'd love to play more horror games, but life prevents me from playing as much as I would like.

[hunterblackwriter]

5th Edition is amazing. It's quite possibly the best version of the game thus far, and I've played them all. It manages to simplify the game in the ways that 4e intended, without dumbing the game down, which 4e certainly did.

[igneriss]

Yes it is! and keeping the party together, I can't count in how many rp parties I've been ; -;

[hdvictor]

I've never role played but it's something I always wanted to do, I just never had the friends that are also into it. I do play RPG video games though, haha. But my comic characters actually DO role play whenever they enter different gaming realms (Shameless promotion, sorry!) https://tapastic.com/series/Random-Time-Encounters

[almondjoy445]

I've done some forum roleplay as well as RPG video games, but I have yet to try tabletop roleplaying and I'd like to one of these days.

[bakasama25]

From what I understand how those tabletop games work. it's a bit more work but you get more options to make your characters.

[dan]

I actually GM multiple Pathfinder (different company but basically D&D) campaigns.

I also use Roll20, and agree that getting a good group of players that jive together can be hard. The 4 players i have now are a good group, but I think I went thru an additional 4 or so first to find a good fit.

[miashuni]

i love to roleplay, i cant find anymore good rp tho. all i find are wirdoes who want " bad things". i enjoy literary its super fun ive never done tabletop. i loooooove romance hoororer syfi fantesey!!!!!!!! ( sorry for bad spelling ) would you be up 4 rp or is this just a q and a kina thing?

[OneSadDonut]

I've always wanted to rpg on forums before but I was always way to shy and on top of that (it may sound weird) that I didn't know the right sites or how to find the right group for me.

I'm very obsessed with DnD for a person who has never played a single bit. I love watching the DnD campaign of critical role (i'm a big fan of vox machina but also the mighty nein are warming up to me) but now i've decided to watch a star treck dnd campaign called shield of tomorrow which is very fun to watch as well.

So in summary I would like to try rpg but I never did but would like to very much

[richardmonsen01]

Yeah, I do like playing roleplaying games as it brings a lot of things for the gamers when they opt to play RPG games like Monster Hunter World, Dark souls, mass effect etc.. A few days ago on my 20th birthday one of my best buddies got me an Xbox subscription prepaid card like Xbox live gold 12 monate kaufen and we then started playing the games on it that were at discount price and other entertaining contents also.

[masoneasley]

I love the genre. Heck, my comic comes from my love of RPGs and years of playing DnD.

I was obsessed with World of Warcraft until very recently (didn't care for Legion, but the next expansion looks interesting), and I'm just getting into Skyrim and Nightwar. In the very near future I want to purchase some older RPG classics like Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, and Grandia.
