Who here has ever heard of Dungeons and Dragons? What're your opinions on it? Any current players here, or am I the only one?

I personally play D&D, though in recent weeks it has waned as the rest of my group I game with has been busy, plus a bit of inter-friendship drama. Typically when I play, I'm the Dungeon Master (The guy narrating the story, creating the plot, NPCs, all that stuff.) Our current campaign is D&D 4th Edition.

*Waits for "D&D IS EVIL!" rants, or perhaps "NERD!". Maybe if I'm really lucky I'll get cricket chirps.*

It seems interesting, buy I've never played it. Andrew Gower did tho, and based RuneScape on D&D.

The rules for D&D always confused me. Watched a few games before though. Never played it myself.

You made my day.

I've never actually played D&D, but I have heard about it. I tried the MMORPG of it, but it wasn't a very good game.

Is there any rule book (specifically: free) out there? I wouldn't mind learning a bit about it. Never hurts at least.

You have to buy the official rulebook of Dungeons and Dragons. The latest is the 4th Edition, but some may prefer older versions. Best you'll get legally for free is probbably this. Also see the wikihow entry.

I know what it is, I saw the movie but i have never played. Although I do think I have the original game sitting in my closet.

Thanks Ren. It looks like the math side of a lot of current games nowdays.

D&D was a great hit back those days!!

I love that game, used to play all the time, most of my friends never had the time or attention span or brain capacity to play such a game, the only times I've played it was with my dad and my little brother. That was a long time ago, though. It seems the world has forgotten magic.
Your saving throws won't save you now!

I play every mondays with a group of people from my town, about 8 of us.
We have a very experinced DM who has DMed for over 20 years.

Atm im a lvl 5 human fighter.
I play 4th edition

I've heard about It and want to play it but i don't have it. I've played the mmorpg but it isn't very good.

heard of it. seen manuals for it. seen the game. never played it.

Yep, I play it, damn good game, the 'free will' part is actually quite fun :P

iv herd of it but never played it and i wanna give it a try befor i knock it

i would have loved to have gotten into that, its just that nobody around here is nerdy enough for it. :(

I've got a friend who's a Marine and use to play football in high school. He's about as not-nerdy as you can get, and he plays D&D. I personally have never went out of my way to play it. It just doesn't appeal.

Yeah I really never found it too fun :\

I played D&D once, but I prefer playing Das Schwarze Auge. (same type of game)

Lol, i used to when i was like 11 years old xD

I play, but not for about a year now. I still have a large collection of the books and so forth and expect to start playing again someday. I haven't tried 4th edition however.

At my grandmas house there is alot of manuals and stuff for d&d. Im pretty sure my dad or my uncle or both played it. I never played it.

I've never heard of this game. What's "The Black Eye" (The English translated title) about?
