Anyone interested in good old fashioned tabletop roleplaying here?

I'm trying to get a group together to try out the new Dresden Files Roleplaying game in Leeds.
 
I've never really played the actual games, but i used to love collecting and painting the small pewter figures when i was young. Mostly Judge Dredd, Dr. Who, Star Trek and War Hammer 40, 000. I was terrible. :)
 
Haven't really played a rpg since AD&D when I was at school, however I have been a long time war gamer mostly WW2, all versions of Warhammer, and Gladiator tournaments.

It puts you one up on me. I used to either use miniatures unpainted or persuade someone else to paint them.
 
Oh, and i also used to collect the Star Wars Role Playing game books that were released by West End Games. There was some amazing information in there. I haven't yet gotten round to collecting the Wizards of the Coasts version.
 
I just played D&D for the second time a couple days ago. It is so fun! I'm not sure which version I played though. =P
 
i actually had more fun with Traveler/MegaTraveler.... oh, and Paranoia! way back in the late 80s...
 
My good friend had a lot to do with creating that game, but I didn't know it was out yet. Hope you enjoy it.

LOVED Paranoia too, and the Traveller games.
 
Paranoia. Great game. I always liked running that one. My victims, er, players wheren't quite as keen... ;)
 
Ha! I was coming here to say Paranoia too - didn't think there would be this many CMTs here.

I've had more fun with playing it via Play-By-Post than Tabletop though.

Maybe we should set up a play by email game?
 
I've been reading D&D 4e to because I wanna play again and most local groups seems to use 4 and I really don't like the direction they are taking the game with that version. I thought 3.0 hit the right balance. 4e feels a lot less customizable and more of a board game than a role playing game. Still have to find a game in the San Francisco California area, hopefully I can find a 3.0 3.5 group. I know this is the wrong forum to look for players since it's kind of a UK forum.
 
I've played in the past and I liked it. I would have played for years on end if I could have. It seems to be a younger persons game, and the same can be said with fantasy, but than that is just what I think. I would like to be wrong about that, because I still think that the world of fantasy is more interesting than anything else. It is far less disappointing. D&D is good anyway, when you are in a position to be able to play it (that is the hardest part).

Traveller was my game of choice in the early eighties.

I think getting the same players together regularly, at the same time, and being forced to stop and clear up at some point is why table top gave way to alternatives.

ANTARCTIC EXPEDITION

I played the game a few weeks ago for the first time and had a blast. I was the airplane pilot who brought an investigation team to find out why people were disappearing at a remote mining town called OBLIVION. We quickly ran into hidious demonic creatures, mutant humans and a giant mind controling shapeless thing. We saw no other choice but to immediately destroy the town with dynamite and get the hell out of there. The gamemaster commented that we were the first intellegent- minded group to all survive with minimal injuries and 80 percent sanity.​

The game played like a roller coaster ride into hell, then it was a race back to the airplane on foot while carrying a couple of our crippled and slightly mad companions. The gamemaster also liked how much we all got into character, he said it was like watching a movie. Even gamers from other tables came over to watch how well we played. I made some new friends and I definately want to play again!​
 
Looking through this thread I see there's at least one historical wargamer here - just wondering if any there are others...
