[QUOTE="velm, post: 1888976, member: 25998"] I picked it up late in high school, around junior year. I used to think the people played those things were wierdos. Then I became one. It is just a good way to have some fun with friends, a nice way to block out reality for a few hours and have fun. I used to like the variety of games, the simplisity of Marvel (2d10, can't beat it), the harshness of GURPS (the damage you could do with a screamer! The look on my buddies face when he describes this thunderous best charging at me. It was the size of two story bus running full speed at me. So I calmly pull out my Screamer. His face just dropped and his voice just go really low and disappointed when I did that as he said i pretty much just melted its face away then it dropped to the ground and started quivvering in death convultions. He then made this statement about how batteries for that were hard to find. HMMMM.) The comedic fun of Paranoia (the computer is your friend) TMNT that was neat also, playing a porcupine, as I recall. A lot of it also had to do with just being around other people and some of the things said. Like when my good buddy introduced us to the land of THESIS. "Yes, the land of much learning." He had no idea what I was talking bout when I made that comment. I then informed him about Thesis papers, he was NOT amused. When the group was approached by a band of women from a nearby village: Will you aide us? What? (confused) will you aide us? WHAT???? Um...Will you help us? Oh, AIDE_us Being in the middle of a dark and danger filled forest when the dm says: You see a man in a soiled loin cloth as you walk down the path. (me thinking this is a 30th lvl magic user) [/QUOTE]
