A tabletop role-playing game, pen-and-paper role-playing game, or table-talk role-playing game is a form of role-playing game (RPG) in which the participants describe their characters' actions through speech.

Greetings and now that we have gotten the definition stuff out of the way. Let's get started the purpose of this page is not only for people to share what table top RPG's they enjoy but also maybe a way to try and get something started in your local area or online. So please feel free to leave a brief intro on the games you like and maybe 1-2 sentences on why you like it. Myself personally I love D&D (2.0, 3.5, 5.0) but have never been able to finish a story line because well people movie and PC's Die and well someone married the wrong NPC and well yeah. I have fallen madly and deeply in love with the White wolf games Vampire, Werewolf & Demon. But would love it if someone would teach me mage. And why do I love these games well the world is a bit darker and edgier. And you get mostly adults who like to play these types of games and while I've only done 2 campaigns the GM thought it would be fun to turn it into a bit of a LARP. So that's a brief blurp on my Table top loves.

I've never in my life played or even known anyone who has played these D&D type games but after seeing a few documentaries on them, I've become very intrigued & it makes me wish I knew some people out here to get into it with. Seems like a healthy way to kill time with good people without the possibility of getting into any trouble (always a plus for me)

I like your interest depending on what you like to do as a person. I find you could love D&D or you could be a Werewolf or vampire or even a Mage in another game. Heck if you like superheroes. There are many systems. I would encourage you to find a basic something that you like. And if you are interested. I may know of a cool chick who will run a few one-shots over skype with a group of friends. *wink*

Some shows to watch online would be the following:
LARPs: The Series
Gentlemen Gamers: Dorkness Rising
The Gamers: Natural One

(They are not documentaries but people having fun I think however the best way is to gain a book...Some coffee or a beer or Mt. Dew and keep your mind relaxed and just have fun.)

Thanks . I'd never do it over skype, hell I won't even chat over skype unless I really have to. It only interests me as a get out of the house & be with other people type of thing, which is why its never happened because it's unlikely out here where I live

there's always a possibility of getting into trouble anywhere you are, but you seem to have a level head about you...good luck on your gaming trials

lol..not all that true ;) I never start trouble & always fun to be around but I do tend to be very hot-headed with a short fuse when someone nearby is being a loudmouth or threatening people. I have a horrible history of not walking away. It's allowed me to help out people getting hurt & protecting others but it's also gotten me a couple of concussions, double digit beatings & a knife in my side at a county fair of all places....This is why I now weigh in the potential for trouble when choosing my activities. I've been a nurse since 2012 & could lose my license with certain types of arrests. I tread carefully now & stay aware of my character flaws

Good news most people that you meet at Larps are there to have fun. Sure you will meet people you don't like in any circle. But I don't get why now when the group is for people interested in games. We are talking about things that are not game related. I mean it's a little unsettling. But to each his own. I just ask that people refer to the original topic.
