Dungeons & Dragons, anyone?

Though not a video/computer game (unless you mean DDO), does anyone else around here like rolling the d20 on their Friday knights?

Yeah! I have been playing d&d since my early highschool years I think. Started off in 3.5 I believe or maybe even 3.0 and worked my way up. I am not super great at the game but I really do enjoy it. Have you done any beta testing for the D&D Next?

The next ed is 4.5, right? No, I haven't. I'm currently involved with two campaigns at my university. I DM one game, my friend DMs another, where am a CG Wilderness Rogue who's bent on slaying criminals and other such bad people. We play an amalgamation of 3.5 and 4.0 we lovingly call 3.75. It's still mostly 3.5 ed rules though. Are you playing any campaign(s) atm?

Uh yeah I guess it is 4.5 not really sure. It's pretty good though. Encounters take alot less time which is good because you can get through more of them. I've always wanted to be a DM but I don't think I have the skills that it takes sadly. : ( A rogue who slays bad people... sounds kinda like a merry man. :P Naw I haven't played in a couple of months. The last one I played was actually at a friends bachelor party and we were the "Wedding Party" but one of my favorites that I have ever done and is kinda on hiatus right now is a pirate campaign. We actually built our pirate ship out of legos and had 3d encounters. So it wasn't just the normal flatness but we could get in the water and go up and down or climb up on a mast. We were in the process of taking over small villages on islands and controlling their economy.

Sounds like something the three highest int score amoral PCs are trying to do in my campaign. There's an NE tiefling wizard bent on world dominion, a TN dwarf artificer that uses his knowledge and craft skills to dominate various cities' economies, and a NE drow biomancer who wants to spread the Death Song Plague just to see what it does. The party splitting is really annoying though, because all the rest of the good and neutral PCs just want to beat the crap out of undead. It's like I'm running two separate campaigns -.- As far as my PC in the other game is concerned, he is anything but merry. Morose, somber, and joyless, his only mission in life to eliminate injustice and wickedness wherever he finds it, for his fiancé was murdered by a crime syndicate. This creates friction between my PC and the guy who plays as the daughter of the tiefling wizard. That campaign is a non-canon continuation of mine set 28 years later where we assume that the tiefling wizard took over the world, pretty much pulled a Sauron, and got trapped inside a magic amulet after becoming too powerful. The tiefling psionic fighter girl wants to rez her father and regain her throne, but my PC, Mordren Miseris, is from the Papal State, the arch enemy of the former Assanian Empire, so the prospect of Emperor Drake Assani (the wizard) coming back doesn't sit well with Mordren. Furthermore, the goons who killed my PC's fiancé used to be the Emperor's lackeys, so yeah. The games usually consist of me trying to prevent Malen from using her high cha score from gaining too much power, though I'm an int rogue, so Mordren isn't the best at being persuasive. But he's quick and smart, and when I class up to vigilante, I'll be able to cast a ton of insta-death spells and stealth buffs. Malen's higher dpr won't mean anything, because you cannot hit what you cannot see and psionic Combat Sense won't matter. Same goes for all the evil and guilty people in the world, for Mordren will be there waiting in the shadows to deliver a harsh verdict upon them for their crimes: guilty, death.
