Damn right . . . I also lack rythem, can't dance, and I atleast use to know pi out to the 10th decimal . . . but now I am down to the standard 4th decimal. I am the most caucasian, and nerdist ABF you'll ever meet.

Good for you, mate! I don't play RPGs anymore, and I haven't lived in Cantafordya for 36 years, but I do play tabletop naval wargames, and you have my condole...um, sympat...um, blessings (not that you need 'em).

Good old pen-and-paper RPG. I quit playing it when I realized it was 45% arguing, 45% joking around, and 10% playing. Nah, not for me.

You mean people still use pen and paper ? hey this is 2007 get with the times.:rotfl:

Yes, there are those of us in this community who harken back to a more simpler time, like playing with long and time consuming, and more then average complexity board games. For the day the power goes out after to much A/C use . . . as long as you have graphite in the wood stick, paper, and your dice one is never far out of reach from an entertaining afternoon.

Play NICE KIDS I tryed to play P&P D&D befor there were pc's. I seldom could find anybody that 'had the time' to sit with friends for an evening of gaming. I had most of the manuals, the die, game moduals, & character sheets, etc. till I gave them away a couple of years ago. Now I spend most of my time sitting HERE by myself, unless I am ridding my cycle or cruising logging roads or some such. Point is there is nothing wrong with spending time with friends instead of alone at a keyboard.

PLAY NICE.. Do not argue with or degrade others. WE are here to help NOT to hinder.. are we not ???

Thank You,,, LETS PLAY .!.!

One of the few games I played ended with my half-orc character rolling a d20 to attempt to hurl my friend's halfling up a 100ft cliff face to get a better view of the area. It can be pretty damned fun if nobody is going into it too seriously, but otherwise it ends up frustrating for the DM.

lol i didnt know that sort of game existed...... all i grew up with was Pogs, Scooters, skateboards and Pokemon cards (that fad didnt last long though)

[Sailor Steve]

Oh, you'd be surprised, AJ!. I have a friend whose hobby shop survives mostly on kids buying Pokemon cards.

[JALU3]

Those who created Magic and other Tradable Card Games created a goldmine for the Hobby Shop. Where as with other gaming items, they are really one time purchases, usually at 40-50 dollars for the core book, with 25-50 dollars for additional books . . . several dollars for dice . . . and that's it . . . the customer leaves, and if they really like that system you never see them again.
However, with Magic and other CCGs/TCGs the starting price is low . . . and you need to by more booster packs to build a good deck . . . and then you need to by the next edition because some cars become obsolete in certain rules, or the newer cards overpower the older edition cards . . . and it's an endless cycle . . . and at 2-4 bucks a pop, one doesn't think to hard about the purchase decision as compared to something 10 times as much.

But yah . . . the hardest part is finding people who you can agree with long enough, and enjoy their company, to spend that amount of time with them . . . especially given the instant pleasure that is so common these days . . . a game which takes time, and mental imagination is like a good book.
