Who here has played D&D? If so what version? If not why not?
Started playing AD&D in middle school when my buddy's dad would DM for us. Have three campaigns running currently. Two are AD&D, one of which I DM, and one is 5th Edition. It is a great outlet for creativity, and you can play around with some interesting ideas through role-playing and world building.
I played about 20 years ago. It was fun at the time.
I was part of a group in high school and a little after.
It is a great, imaginative game.
I’m 65 years old and just started playing a month ago and I love it. My son is the DM and it’s a great thing we share.
Awesome! My daughter is our DM. My younger son is learning the ropes (of DMing). I love it!
IF I had, i'd never admit it
Coward!
If Vin Diesel is man enough to admit it, you can too.
I started playing in the late 80s and it was 2nd edition AD&D. Never did go up to 3rd edition and higher. I had invested way too much money on 2nd edition, wasn't about to invest some more. Plus the prices seemed to have gone up quite a bit after TSR was bought out by WOTC. I still have all of my 2nd edition books, box sets, and other goodies.
Nice I am of the same vain. Though I feel D&D was not the D&D I loved when WOTC began changing it. I might give 5e a chance though. Many of said that 5e pays homage to 2e.
I've been playing since... 99 I think? Every iteration since 3.0, plus Pathfinder, d20 modern, GURPS, d6 system, CODA (both Star Trek and LotR) and probably a dozen others. Pathfinder and 5e are my favorite atm. I hated 4e when it came out, but I've since listened to a campaign that's kinda changed my mind.
I always wanted to, but anyone that did play would only let me watch their campaign, and none of MY friends and I could find time or money or energy to meet up
I love that. The funny thing is all you really need to game is your imagination. I have a campaign running right now with two of my players not even in the same state. We find a way using the Internet. Find a group have fun and go slay some orcs.
My son and a friend come to my place and we play with two other guys locally and my son’s girlfriend in Canada. We use Roll20 and Discord. I’m a newbie but I’m learning fast and love the role playing as much or more than the battles.
yes, many moons ago, when i was young, like late 70,s and 80,s , now passed on all my old and rare models,hand painted, gary gyrax first editions, books etc, to one of my sons, he was about three, then, now in his thirties,
