What kind of role-playing are you into?

[momophile]

What kind of role-playing are you or have you been into?

And which are the more serious?

[Radical Activist]

1. Back in high school

it was D&D. Yes, I was a dork and I am not ashamed.

[momophile]

2. I think there was a lot of D&D in high school

absolutely no shame.

[Orsino]

7. How about a quarter-century after high school?

Still feelin' no shame. My wife and I travel 45 minutes to game, when we're not playing on the Internets.

[Bassic]

37. I still play D&D

And I am still not ashamed. What is there to be ashamed about?

[Book Lover]

3. Pen-and-paper

Until d20 came along, I had abandonded AD&D for RoleMaster (yeah, yeah, ChartMaster...) Still playing today.

[seemunkee]

4. Patient and the naughty nurse

[dysfunctional press]

30. escaped convict & warden's wife....

same end result, i imagine.

[TimeChaser]

5. Ren Faires, Anime/gaming conventions, text-based rp,

it's all fun :D

[radwriter0555]

6. I still don't understand furbies and please... don't try to MAKE me

understand them.

I. Just. Don't. Get. It.

Ya know, the naughty nurse, the sexy maid, I *get* all that.

Cute, sweet, silly, sexy fun.

Furbies... not so much.

[TimeChaser]

10. Furbies?

You mean Furries? :shrug:

[radwriter0555]

12. Is that what they're called? The people who dress up as some sort of

character animal and.... and.... and...

well, you know?

[redqueen]

19. Actually, from what I've read,

they don't always... you know.

Some of it's just more like D&D or sci/fi or gamer role playing. Most even? Not sure... but it seems there are lots of them very angry about the whole thing having been sexualized to the degree it is.

[radwriter0555]

21. I would feel a LOT better if the sexualization were taken out of it.

It's just... wrong.

It's like disney characters having sex.

Pluto. Daisy. Daffy Duck.

Having... sex. Raunchy sex.

I just absolutely fail to see the pyschological pleasure connection between Daffy Duck and sexual appreciation and gratification... and I'm REALLY OPEN MINDED.

:D

[TimeChaser]

40. Perhaps this will help

My favorite anthro artists. They do beautiful non-sexual art

29. Monty Python had a hilarious sketch on "Mousemen".

[SteppingRazor]

8. I played D&D until I realized the truth of Marilyn Manson's statement:

"If every cigarette you smoke takes seven minutes off your life, every game of Dungeons & Dragons you play delays the loss of your virginity by seven hours."


But back when I was into it, I was into it big. Created my own entire world -- maps, descriptions of all the countries, a complete timeline of world history, etc., etc., etc.

[NewJeffCT]

9. LOL - good one

I know a few people that might be virgins until they're around 600 then! Hopefully, they have some elvish blood in their bones.

[meegbear]

11. I'm the Daddy

[donco6]

26. Ha!

From the other posts, I'm not sure I'd volunteer my own predilections.

[Oeditpus Rex]

13. Well... I was about 17...

and some mates and me went to a party, and... we had quite a lot to drink. And then some of the fellows there started 'andin'... cheese around. And, well, just out of curiosity, I tried a bit, and... well, that was that.

And what else did these fellows do?

Well, some of them started dressin' up as mice a bit... and then when they'd got the costumes on, they started... squeakin'.

Yes. And was that all?

That was all.

And what was your reaction to this?

Well, I was shocked. But, gradually I came to feel that I was more at ease with other mice.



A typical case, whom we shall refer to as Mr. A — although his real name is this:

ARTHUR JACKSON
32A MILTON AVENUE,
HOUNSLOW, MIDDLESEX

[Harley Quinn]

15. lol

where cute!

To answer the original query-I LARP'd in high school, started playing D&D at 19, and not only continue to play to this day, but am the undisputed Dungeon Mistress of my group!

I make completely original worlds, histories, mythos, calendars. No detail too small. It's my favorite creative outlet.

And my sex life is fine, thank you! :rofl:

[kay1864]

17. Where in the world do you find every Python episode?

And are they already formatted? (I assume you have to re-format them once you put them into a post, right?)

[Oeditpus Rex]

25. All the MPFC bits are here:

http://www.ibras.dk/montypython/justthewords.htm

Trick is, you have to know either the name of the bit or what episode it was in, unless you want to plow through the whole bloody thing to find what you want.

Some reformatting is necessary, but that's largely because I'm anal. :D

That's the only site I'm aware of that has all the series scripts, but there're tons o' photos, sound files etc. at these two:

http://www.intriguing.com/mp/

http://orangecow.org/pythonet/pythonet.html

The best site overall is this one: http://arago4.tn.utwente.nl/stonedead/main.html But it's been down for several months. x(

[In_The_Wind]

14. I've dressed for Renaissance Festivals ...

and undressed for Starwood. :shrug: I dress for role playing just for the sheer fun of it.

[Love Bug]

16. I've done D&D, Star Trek costuming and Ren Faire costuming

Fun stuff, all.

[Strangefire]

18. MMORPGs

I realize that the vast majority of MMORPG players play the games for the hack-and-slash fun, but I play an MMORPG called EverQuest, and have been roleplaying my characters for the past 6 years. I've met some remarkable roleplayers there.

[redqueen]

20. None...

but I've been tempted at comic conventions.... some of those outfits are cute!

[ThomCat]

22. RPGs, but not much Dungeons and Dragons.

Champions
classic Vampire: The Masquerade
The Everlasting

[SeattleGirl]

23. Other, but I ain't sayin' what...

:hide:

[LanternWaste]

27. I'm almost afraid to ask...

I'm almost afraid to ask...

No I'm not. Yeah, I supose I am...

NO... I'm not afraid. Yes.. I'm afraid. Damn you and my insatiable curiousity. Dammit.

Yeah... I'm afraid

[SeattleGirl]

32. Damn, but I'm so bad, I'm good!

:evilgrin:

[In_The_Wind]

35. I'll bet I know what ...

:evilgrin: you go girl

[distantearlywarning]

24. SCA-er here.

Geeky and proud of it! :-)

[Dukkha]

28. costuming

this is my latest and greatest. the Nazgul Ringwraith:

http://www.joerenzetti.com/nazgul/

[momophile]

34. that's some serious shit!

cool, though.:hi:

[tigereye]

38. it's funny to see the cars in the background

the movies and stories would have been very different if the prey of the Nazgul could just quickly escape in a Taurus. :D

very inventive, though.

[Dukkha]

41. that's what my sister said

she's like "what happened to your horse? I didn't know the wraiths drove Geo Metros" ha...ha...ha...
that's why I Photoshoped myself into Mordor, Weathertop, and other spooky looking woods.

[Broken_Hero]

31. D and D

90% of the time, and then Mage/Vampire/Werewolf from the White Wolf System. I played D and D the most, but it was so hard to get a small group togehter, shit just getting two PC's together for a game, was hard. Thats why i started playing Magic the Gathering, all I needed was just one person to play against, and we didn't have to through all the hub bub of finding another D and D player...

[LeftyMom]

33. Tabletop RPGs here (not D&D though,) ren faire costuming as well

(I sew it for others from time to time as well) and though I've never gone to a convention I have dressed up as somebody from Star Trek.

[hunter]

36. On DU I pretend I'm witty and quick.

In person, I'm like... Duhhh, ummm, ahhhh, especially in a group, unless the conversation is about computers, submarines, or evolutionary biology. At big noisy dinners where everyone is laughing and talking up a storm, I'm the one sitting there quietly watching everyone and fidgeting.

Ah well.

Now that I think about this, it really disturbs me I've done everything in your poll, including a lot of "other."

When I was a dashing young single man and dumber than a pet rock, my most popular role at such events was as arm-candy for women who didn't want to be hit upon, even though their, um, costumes, were quite over the top... Spilling out sometimes, in fact. I used to look pretty good carrying an unusually large weapon of some sort. And crazy.

[Downtown Hound]

39. Other, but I don't want to lock your thread
