Dungeons and Dragons

I was really sad, had AD&D, Traveller, Paranoia, call of Cuthulu, Aftermath... and no girl-friend at the time!

Tunnels and trolls... yep.

Plus car wars , Call of Cuth etc. Even those books where you picked an action and turned to the page it told you to.

And no I didnt talk to girls as girls were icky and never took my lvl 18 paladin status with the correct due awe.
 
I had a girlfriend funny enough. We met at 12 and went out untill 18.

She was very understanding :p I used to paint figures while chatting to her on the CB radio.

Somebody please start a CB radio thread as I can get equally nostalgic about those :p

Harvard Home Base... King of rigs!

Strangely enough quite a few girls participated, though the ratio and the norm was guys and all the people werent the geek/dork variety per se. Also I did have a gf at one point who was quite supportive. A friend also dragged me to a LARP session :eek: and the ratio was roughly 1:4 but LARP is a all set of other strangeness :D

Me? Never got into RPG games, unless you count all the Forgotten Realms stuff.

ETA. Computer based RPG's
 
I love the pictures! I'm definitely getting my D&D stuff out when I go and see my Dad next.

Girlfriends, no. But you have to remember no self respecting female spent much time looking at fifteen year old boys in the chaste late seventies/early eighties. We were not cool. Or at least I wasn't. And indeed, I'm still not.

But back to D&D - didn't Gyjax's company come out with lead miniature rules in a white box which was a kind of embryonic D&D? My friend Andy had it. I used to cycle up to his house to play them with him and his bro and other sundry teens.

I bet those rules really are worth money these days, albeit selling to a bunch of nostalgic geeks, ie me.

Anyone got these? (I haven't I'm strictly AD&D). I also forgot I had a 'Fiend Folio' :D

That was a wickedly evil and fun game, got players really jumpy as I recall.

Played a ton of these games my favourite was the mighty mighty "Car Wars", a cross between Death Race 2000 and Mad Max. It had a regular-ish magazine and updates came in the form of a sales catalogue, with items and accessories pitched as if they were being sold by a dodgy car dealer; "Ever wanted the protection of a smokescreen, the deterrent of an oil slick but with damage? Well now you can with Uncle Albert's brand new Flaming Oil Jets!"... entertaining, funny and really bloody complicated.

Car wars was awesome :cool:

I'm pretty sure I had that book you've posted too. It was the one with the armoured fridge I think. :D

The RPG I'd most like to see converted to a compuetre game is Paranoia, but I'm not sure that;'s even possible.

You ever play toon? That's was as as fun as paranioa. And you got extra lives in the same sort of way.
 
aye paranoia as a computer game, if done properly, would be massively cool.


when I say cool btw I mean cool as in kewl - obviously

It's a shame they never managed to make a decent online game out of Shadowrun...that was a pretty cool RPG.

I think its been raided so many times in terms of ideas I dont you notice if it made an appearance or not.

I did play 1st Edition Advanced D&D (which is the one everyone talks about),

I started on 2nd edition and worked my way through Heroes Unlmited (very crappy system IMO), Kult (which was scary shit at the time - being 18 playing with horror inspired 25+ year olds), Rifts, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars and Werewolf Vampire system. The latter two are probably the best IMO, AD&D always suffered as a generic fantasy settings (Greyhawk, Krynn and Faerun)

I had a few of these, packed full of goodies they were, many suitable for sneaky installation prior to your next arena game. We played it enough to make plastic turning keys.

The original game was an interesting way to sell a game- tiny package, cheaper price and easy to store.

I don't think there's an RPG in existence that I haven't played at one time or another :o

AD&d was my fav, I still played until a couple of years back when I just found I didn't have the time anymore :(

Hmmm, maybe it's time to get my Greyhawk campaign running again :D

And the best way to pull a truck driver, if that's your bag :p

Just bought LOTR online and it's taking ages to 'update' before I'm even getting to see the game lol

Anyone played it? I guess I'll decide if I like it or not within the 30 day free period before the joy becomes £9 a month :eek: :D

Never played D&D when I was younger and a bit disappointed that I didn't aswell. I played a pen and paper RPG called cyber punk at one point which I enjoyed but apart from that I was limited to a board game called 'talisman' which, although I enjoyed, didn't really kick off the imagination like I imagine D&D would.
 
I was really into that shit as a kid. I had the choose your own adventure books, warcraft figurines... the lot. Nowadays I occasionally play txt based MUDs along the same lines. Nobody else knows. I am a closet geek :P
