Maybe 'cos you are here?

I dunno really, I suppose it's because it isn't that popluar with GB denizens...

Maybe it's because most people don't play pnp, just computer titles, so they don't really know all the rules and stuff behind the game. I know some people that love BG & IWD, but when i asked them to join a real D&D pnp session, they just said, " no way, that stuff is only for geeks, it's sad and a waste of time", or something like that. They want the easy stuff, not pnp, not roleplaying, no thinking, no buying books, and not playing only once a week, and taking a month to level up.
On the other hand, i love this stuff. I play every week. Just love it.

I play it twice a week, 3 campaigns at the same time, and over a month I'm starting my own pnp.

I'm his DM so i play 3 times a week too. (busy weekends)

For PnP vs. BG and such, see the thread "Is pen and paper Roleplaying dying?" in the general RPG forum.

Hi.
All of my PnP friends are scattered across the country.
So Computers are the only thing left. Also it's easier to boot the computer than it is to round up people, buy beer and start playing PnP.

Hmmm I'm thinking: Would it be possible to play DnD over message programs as Irc or Msn?

@astor: I agree with you, I find it funny that not many ppl post here. D&D (along with perhaps some other rpg live games) are waay better than any computer games may be. I've had the joys of being a player, and then a DM - and both are real fun. I've also played through all editions of D&D and I tell you, some experiences me and the rest of the players have had have been amazing.
This is hardly the stuff for geeks, it's the real men stuff! What me and my old rpg pals would do is have a good time somewhere (could be at somebody's house, at a sports club playing football, having lunch somewhere, whatever) and then finish the day off with a good round of D&D. To me, it was a social event (unlike playing on the PC by yourself)...nothing beats it!

Just another meaningless post:

DnD ROCKS!

The only problem with a forum like this online a gaming site, is that we are geared more towards CRPG, rather then PnP. Thats not to discourage PnP, as I believe a few people tried to get an online campaign going.
