I actually play DSA at the moment (our last campaign was D&D) but I am so proud I just had to tell somebody about my little girl who killed a wild boar all by herself and a while later delivered the killing-blows on a huge Warg that was about to kill an innocent villager!
After having some problems with in-game group dynamics last time our master decided that for this campaign we would meet each other as kids in the village and grow up together so at the moment we all play characters around 12 years old. Fucking cool 12 year old heroes running around helping the parents kill some Orcs! *Bragging over* OK can you please all just pretend I never wrote that so I can keep up my "cool girl" persona on the forums? ![]() |

Hmmm, no other D&D players out in KATG world anymore? I'll put some more meat into this post, see if that prompts anyone.
I starting playing (3.5) first year of college (2005) cause a friend of mine was into in, he got pretty much our whole group of friends interested in playing. After a couple times playing I was really into it and spent some down-time leafing thru the core books, I was pretty drawn to the fact that, as Keith says in his book, you can do whatever. Played my rogue for over a year, I've since historically played the skill-user types, before I wanted to branch out and made a scout/dervish, awesome super-fun build. I think that 1st campaign ended when our warmage decided to go evil and nuked everyone (in real life it was the end of a semester and half of us went to different schools the next year). Next campaign, new DM, I threw my friends for a loop when I decided to play a cleric, partly to shake up the group dynamic and partly cause the new DM wanted to be story-heavy and that way I could do other stuff while playing and only really have to pay attention when people were getting hurt. I'm the tactics guy, if you want to pontificate on how the kings reign is lacking, let someone else indulge you. I stopped playing for awhile due to traveling, and when I came back a new 4th edition campaign was in swing. I don't care for it, sure it's simpler and easier to pick-up, but that's not what I'm playing for. I heard someone equate it to playing a trading card game, which I thought was pretty spot on. "3.5 has to many rules," then learn the rules that pertain to how you are going to play, if you're a paladin, learn the mounted combat rules, if you're a bard, you can skip figuring out how to overrun and sunder. We switched gears and have been playing a Savage Worlds campaign recently. I don't know how to concisely explain it, it has a quick set-up, and it's not d20 based, whenever you increase a stat or skill, you increase what die size you roll whenever using that stat or skill. We were using the Necessary Evil source book, in which you're a super-villian and there's this pretty impressive list of super-powers to pick from, made your character very customizable, it's great. That stopped about a month ago. Currently I want to start a new 3.5 campaign (me as DM) that'll be a little different for us. I'm going to have everyone start at 20th level, and there will be no more leveling. Everyone's also going to start with no gear. My players are going to be dropped into a new world (otherwise they'd be to famous as high-level characters) that I've made and they'll be free to do whatever, whether that's be a noble roving band of adventurers, or evil tyrants. Whew, long post, slurp indeed |

I love Savage Worlds, it was one of the first non-D&D RPGs I tried playing. My current game is using "Starblazer Adventures—The Rock & Roll Space Opera Adventure Game"; it has been a lot of fun.

IN '93 I used to DM a weekly game for 12 people. Ran a 6 month campaign, 8-12 hour sessions every Saturday. I was really into developing the story. I still have the Forgotten Realms box setting, and I bought the 3rd Ed books later, but I kept moving around and haven't played since.
The other game I played back then that I'd love to get back into was Cyberpunk 2020. |
