Kinda like DnD :]

From what I've read of market stats, its still a pretty popular RPG. Some people I've gamed with have played it before.

Interview with Ed Stark {own personal experience} Admittedly I was much the same way, I didn't know people were still playing DnD till this day. But then again that was true of other table-top hobbies. I was bigtime video gamer during the mid-90's when the Magic:the Gathering and Warhammer...

And the pc gaming industry too. And the pro wrestling industry.

Must be the creeping invasion of closet RPG.net posters :p

It certainly makes more money, as for it being more popular I'm not too sure about that. Theres been alot of MMORPGs that have been discontinued or cancelled lately because companies have WAY over-estimated the number of people who are willing to pay a monthly fee for what are often just...

Interesting, since computer gaming, quite frankly, has been declining dramatically in revenue in the last couple of years and considered by many analysts to be losing out to consoles. Has anyone noticed that it seems like the people who are most likely to declare RPGs dead are, of all people...

Eh..so? Its not like the industry really needed to have the gazillion companies producing supplements to basically support one game (DnD). Sure, there are companies that are leaving RPGs or reducing their exposure. No biggie. So unlike the video game industry, where a CRAPLOAD of developers...

I buy mostly at FLGS but also at bookstores like B&N, Waldenbooks, etc.

Friends don't let friends play d02! :p

Enworld Wotc boards RPG.net But I like Enworld alot more than the other two.

Have someone be the Cleric in the party. A healer is a GODSEND which will pay in dividends many times over.

Voted at somebody's house/apartment. Though I have played at a 'clubhouse' as well as a gamestore (comic book store technically).

I'll second the bard as well, lots of fun. They are not the most powerful, but thats OK since it doesn't seem like she would care about that.

That's a very important point to stress. Simply put, some areas of the country just seem to foster a gaming culture much better than others. I know its like that for California certainly, where some areas in CA tend to have a much better gaming scene than other parts of the state.
