Your childhood beats my childhood

[bad_juice]

Kicking girls in the box is good for em. Puts em in their place.

Auto-yes for liking roleplaying.

Re: Your childhood beats my childhood

[glazomaniac]

oh ho! a roleplayer yourself?

Not for many years, unfortunately

[bad_juice]

These days the only thing I have patience to write is my journal.

My uncle is a big gamer and he's the one who got me into it, back in middle school. But then I moved around and never really found people to play with, but I'm still very much enamoured with the idea of roleplaying.

i play every weekend

[glazomaniac]

i think i should start a comm for all the people i don't know in real life who roleplay.

You definitely should

[bad_juice]

Regardless of your answer to the following question. But would it be one of those comms where you roleplay in the comm? Or just a comm to talk about roleplaying?

half of me wants to call it the "roleyoucrew," but i know it would be taken seriously if i did

[glazomaniac]

just talking roleplaying was my initial thought, though i would not discourage gaming in the comm.

I assume you mean "would not be"?

[bad_juice]

Eek. I have actual work to do, so my commenting will slow down for a bit.

But I would probably join that comm, even though I would likely not be able to post much(if at all), it would be fun for me to read.

would not be what? huh?

[glazomaniac]

i'll nose about, see who else might be interested.

Did you mean to write "would be taken seriously" or "would not be taken seriously"?

[bad_juice]

Please let me know. I am quite curious.

Also, though I am probably far too out of the loop to know what they are, what RPGs do you play mostly?

"would be," as in, "people would think it's a rating community"

[glazomaniac]

tabletop stuff, using my friend's dicing system (called the "tarafore" system), in a lot of different settings (call of cthulhu is the only one not made up by me or my friends, though, that i remember off the top o my head).

i have played normal dnd in the past, though.

computer/video game rpgs, that's another story.

I meant to reply to this forever ago

[bad_juice]

Lost in the shuffle, I suppose.

I used to play Shadowrun, DnD, GURPS and(haha, embarassing admission of the day for me) Star Wars the RPG.

I could barely come up with my half-assed campaigns as a 13-year-old, I can't imagine inventing my own dice system.

no worries

[glazomaniac]

oh, i played a shadowrun game. jesus, what a convoluted system.

my friend came up with one in college & play tetsedt the fuck out of it. it is still getting refind, bu it's simple & easy & flexible & i love it.

gurps seems to have a lot of promise.

GURPS is very nice in terms of flexibility

[bad_juice]

And I guess they have a whole mess of books, as most of these things seem to.

My favorite thing about the Shadowrun world is that everybody's money was just on a little stick you had to put your thumbprint on to use. This appealed to me because I hate paper currency and wish every place in existence would take my damn debit card.

my friend's tarafore system is more flexible

[glazomaniac]

the worldof shadowrun was cool, it was their system that was awful.

i played a shaman who was a complete bastard. my friend neal played his twin brother, a decker.

Flexibility is important in many situations

[bad_juice]

I hardly remember how the system goes. Though I did appreciate that it only required six-sided die. I was always too poor to buy any other kinds.

like parallel parking!

[glazomaniac]

i am a d10 whore, but we'll not discuss that.

the system wasjust really convoluted when it came to the deckers. it took forever to write them all up, & the books were poorly laid out.
