The Outhouse - The Greatest Comic Book Forum

Just thought I'd start a generic thread on RPGs. Not Rocket Propelled Grenades, but Role Playing Games. My thought was more the tabletop type games, but if people want to talk computer type, it's cool.

I know that Wis like RPGs... I think Nightfly and Comic Doctor do too. GLX maybe? Strict knows Shadowrun, but don't know if he plays.

Anyone interested?

Have to admit, I haven't actually played a session for a few years, but I try to keep up with what's coming out. I have an unhealthy amount of books since I really like reading about the settings and such. Also, next year looks like some interesting RPGs may be coming to the Nintendo DS (though I have't had time to get into the ones I bought yet).

So, favorite settings? Games? Systems? Etc?

I loved Marvels' old RPG game set with the FASERIP layout. I was addicted to the books since I liked reading about everyone and every thing. I played a lot of RIFTS back in the early 90's too. They had a great system there.

I haven't played in years (aside from WoW online), but I've always wanted to. I always had a good time.

Never played a tabletop game. It's never been my thing. I've only in the last 5 years of so gotten into video game RPG's. I tend to like the Western ones more like KOTOR, Fallout 3 and Mass Effect. I don't like most JRPG's sorry Final Fantasy players those games bore the crap out of me. Kingdom Hearts was fun enough though.

I run a D&D game weekly. Been playing since 1984.

Was the Marvels one made by Mayfair? Or was it TSR?

Never played Rifts though I had some of the books. Looked pretty interesting. Did try TMNT once though.

So you like WoW a lot? Have you looked at any of the D20 stuff for that?

Marvel was TSR, DC heroes was Mayfair. Played a shitload of both in the day.

The last RPG I played was Mutants and Masterminds. But ever since my folks died, I just haven't had the patience for role-playing.

Is it the setting or the turn system you think?
