Dungeons and Dragons - The thread for the Worlds Oldest Roleplaying Game

[Mapo Tofu]

So one time I had to distract 2 ratmen guards in 5e with a ranger.
So I somehow roll a critical 20 and convince both Ratmen to go to a bar and get drunk.
And I roll another 20 and get both drunk and they tell me that they hate the owner.
So I roll 20 again and convince them to kill the owner.
And a bar fight starts and I manage to escape while everyone inside the bar is killing each other

DnD is for pathetic loser cuck nerds tbh.

Any fans of the various OSR games out there?

I'll admit, I'm a sucker for OSR games and TSR-era D&D in general.

Some of them. Some of them get lost up their own asshole.

Pretty big fan of ACKS... yet another reason I've decided to leave RPG.net. Already mentioned I'm a huge, huge Hackmaster fan, which was OSR before OSR was a thing. Astonishing Swordsmen and Sorcerers of Hyperborea.

Stars Without Number is nice, but I can just never make a sci-fi space-opera type game work in play.

I'll admit that my big problem with a lot of them is they have the Class Is Race Is Class thing baked in as the default or only option, which is one of the older elements I just don't get on with.

It's fine in a more Sword&Sorcery type game, less so in more conventional high fantasy, at least for me personally.

I can work around it if the game is good enough (ACKS, for example), but it's generally a turn-off.

The entire Lamentations line would be an example of one getting lost up it's own asshole, for me, though. I know it has a lot of hardcore fans, but I'll never be one of them.

Anybody here a fan of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 1E?

I've contemplated making my own OSR game based off of it, sort of like a retro-clone (much like OSRIC, the first retro-clone) but unlike OSRIC, it would include the Monk class and maybe add a few new things as well, such as new classes and maybe a campaign setting.

D&D is something I'd definitely like to play someday.

I just need to find some friends to play it with. : /

Just make sure to find a good DM. Not one that pulls the story-line of their ass during lunch break and fails at improv.

I want to play OSE, just have zero time. Favorite edition I've played is Pathfinder or 3.5. I cut my teeth on 3rd.

Edit: oops didn't realize how old this thread was

Never was fan of DnD, I liked the Dragonlance books but not enough to get invested in role-playing.

I have a friend group to play with live and in person. Part of what prompted this I kid you not - was my being called  transphobic.

I was in an on-line dnd game that had been running for 4 years and when it came time to get a new player the DM opened up applications on roll 20 (which is the platform we were on) and some of the applicants were "they"s and I had the stupid notion of suggesting, playing with someone who identifies as  they will make me uncomfortable. So I got kicked out

It forced me to see real people and meet friends and have a group of guys who now hang out and play games, really a dam fortunate thing I got called transphobic; I wouldn't be playing in real games or know about farms as soon as I did had it not been for that crap game of online personalities!
