dungeons and dragons (D&D) anyone?

Played 2 different sessions at a con a few years ago. d6 system (if I remember right, you just need 2 d6), pretty simple. I'm not really big on the whole sci-fi space travel genre so I haven't looked at it beyond what I played, but the 2 sessions were fun since friends joined the group. The first game was the one where I managed to lose a character within the first 30 seconds.
I do know it has a huge following and Moongoose always has plenty books at Conception at their booth that seem to disappear quickly.

Do you actually get to play with your toys or do you just collect them? ;-)
I collect the dice, because really, you can't have too many dice.
It's also nice to have a good set of dice for each type of game or situation.As for the other stuff, I admit it's been a few years since I have played. The good news is at work I have found quite a bit of people that actually play table top RPGs. I was kind of surprised, and things look promising on that front even if some of us would have to travel 30 miles. Even more than that I also just need to go a little longer in the job I have now to get more job security, and maybe if I'm lucky more pay, where I can feel safe affording a good internet connection again, and maybe get a medical problem with my eye fixed. Where I'm at there is no cable or DSL so I'm pretty much ****** to get an expensive cellular system with a long contract or maybe they will get that WiMax system out here soon like they are talking about, that way I won't also be stuck with some 5 gigabyte a month limit. (I refuse to get satellite internet because it's a complete rip off.) Either way it's not very cheap and I can't back out of it without it costing me big. Once that happens, relatively hopefully soon, I will be able to play over the internet on a virtual table top and get back in the game like I used to.

You should set up a monthly game so those that live at quite a distance don't have to travel weekly, but you still get some gaming done. ;-)

monthly isnt bad. allows for excellent planning. and a month comes and goes fast.
I would think about it if I could be reasonably assured that I would have a long term group of people.

Give it a few months and you'll be looking for someone to hand it over to. My meetup tried to rope me in as an organizer. I ran the other way.
I'm perfectly fine running games. If I'm scheduled to play and they need a DM, I'm happy to give up my spot and run something. However, I will not take on any more responsibility. Hell-fucking-NO.

oh, i know. lucky for me this is a temp thing. he'll be back soon enough im sure.
but... i got some great ideas planned. midnight madness and beginners night for starters.
At it's worse organizing can almost become like herding cats.
It's something I might do, but it would have to be something that was my actual normal job and I got paid for it. :1orglaugh Trying to fit it around everything else in your life is when it gets more difficult, especially if there are a lot of unappreciative people you have to deal with. It’s also hard when people are flaky or don’t take it seriously. Few things would get to me more in RPG stuff than organizing and spending a ton of time I volunteered out of my life and maybe even spending a non-insignificant portion of my own money to get something done to have it go to waste because a good portion of the people ended up not giving a damn.

You know, I do more than enough event organization as my job. I really, really, really don't want to do it for a hobby. LOL
It's bad enough that I'm going to have to start the yearly "give me your money" next month for Conception lodging. At least I have 1 person I can count on like clockwork. And he has nerf guns. LOTS of nerf guns.

Where are you from?
Chances are, someone has made an unofficial translation of the core book into your language since there are players in almost every single country (you just have to find them).
Also, for role-playing games in general, I can't speak for D&D but other companies sometimes offer a scaled down version of the game for free so you can test it out. I believe Savage Worlds, WitchCraft, and Vampire the Masquerade does.

the 4th edition redbox is a cheap way to start with a scaled down version of the rules and comes with dice, maps, charater sheets, a small players guide, and a small dm guide and ******* manual.
its quite nifty. or, you can always get the 5th edition playtest for free..
I'm Portuguese....
Yeah I read some rules online and I get it that are dice rolls and roleplay but I still don't understand some of the things.
I'll check out the 4th edition redbox. Might be a fun experience as now I am even more curious. I'll ***** someone to play with me :1orglaugh
