I just finished a chronicle of Vampire: The Masquerade (an RPG, for anyone that doesn't know it), and felt this slightly paraphrased final exchange was worthy of sharing

Heehee. I *adore* RPing. I finally got into a D&D group this past year, and I love it. I heard there are differences in the game place between D&D and Vampire, but I don't really know what... I'd like to try it sometime, though. Huzzah to geekdome!
The differences between D&D and Vampire are fairly complex. The basic description is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vampire:_The_Masquerade but, more importantly, the fundamental style of the roleplaying remain different

Hey thanks for the explaination, and the helpful links. I'm quite new to tabletop RPGs. I'm much more used to online narratives, like my new site Felinity. (http://www.angelfire.com/planet/felinity/felinity.html) <-shameless plug. :P But seriously, D&D was probably the best way for me to start at tabletops. I'm used to a lot of descriptions and character development online, but I never described things like that aloud before - so D&D broke my shell, if you will. I do feel that D&D falls short in a lot of character development, though. It seems really action-driven. Fun...but I get bored watching everyone else fight sometimes.
That's cool, most people start off playing something like D&D first. There must be a growing number of people who have actually played something narrative and freeform online. Narrativist, especially freeform, tabletop games are very good when played with a good group in the right atmosphere, but there are distinct advantages and disadvantages to it, as with everything.
