First off, I'm not really sure if this section of the message board extends to discussions on tabletop or "old school" RPGs. I'm just assuming that this section does in opening such a topic. However, if discussions on tabletop RPGs truly belong here and if a thread like this (or resembling this) has been created in the past, then please simply insert my posts to that former thread. If not, then please relocate this thread to its proper place, if not delete it altogether (if necessary). Thank you and my apologies (whichever is appropriate) in advance.
Anyway, if anyone in Istorya.net was or are or would like to be playing, running, even designing tabletop RPGs, then I invite you to post in this thread. Let's swap stories-- preferrably war stories --and ideas and information and resources.
With a gaming group of five players (three college and two employed friends) of mine, I'm currently running a free 3.5 Edition D20 Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) free adventure called "The Burning Plague" that I (very) loosely adapted to the D100 Mongoose RuneQuest (MRQ) system. We're really having a lot of fun on (almost every) Saturday afternoons, even more fun than in those adventures I ran and played with an original but insane system of my own design-- 'coz the 1st Ed. D&D boxed sets were just so expensive then (and they still are!) --back in high school. A human lord and a human wizard are played by the working class, while a half-elven ranger, an elven priestess and a murderous flesh-eating scholar who was changed into a repentant manticore (as a temporal punishment for his crimes) are played by the student body (heh!).
I'm planning now to loosely adapt those old adventures to MRQ. I think I'm going to start with those Role-Aids adventure scenarios from Mayfair Games back in the 80s.
Ahh, tabletop RPGs still rule over computer RPGs, for me!
Thank you.
Peace.
