Dungeons and Dragons Players? Anybody?

Hello Everyone!

My friends got me into playing the free to play online game called Dungeons and Dragons Online or DDO for short. Well after playing for about a month I really started to want to play Pen and Paper. Well after making classified ads seeing if anyone in my area plays I got no responses which kinda sucked but I also didnt have the $300 for books anyways lol So what some of my online buddies are doing are playing Dungeons and Dragons Pen and Paper over Team speak 3 (voice comms.) I was able to find a download with all the 3.5 Edition Books since thats what our DM/GM uses. So for the last week we have been all playing Dungeons and Dragons over voice comms. Kinda different but its really fun I am completely a nooob to D&D this is my first time playing it!!

So anyone else out there play D&D?

My Girlfriend plays it occasionally. Going to an engineering academy in high school, and now an engineering major in college I have been surround by D&D players for years now, but I can't bring myself to play lol

Lol.....I play skyrim and read star wars novels. D&D is too nerdy even for me.

I have always been a big geek and stuff like that and really been into fantasy. I love Pen and Paper D&D for the soul fact that I can let my imagination run free. Its nice to be able to do with how locked our minds are now a days.

Welcome to the D&D world! I am a total nerd/geek/whatever label you want to give me. I'm currently playing a 4E campaign online over oovoo (free 6-way video chat) with some friends. In person is better, but I do like the convenience of doing it online.

Used to play about 20 years ago, does that count? Yeah, I was one of those nerds clustered in the hallway at lunch time, and always had a bag of dice and character sheets on me.

Play any way you can! If you want to get a nice D&D video gaming experience, check out Baldurs Gate 1 & 2 and Neverwinter Nights 2 on PC. Awesome games and were precursors to console games like Knights of the Old Republic and Dragon Age. The games will look dated, but they are awesome. I think they are even going to release iPad versions of those games.

I played warhammer before and Magic the Gathering. But I draw the line at D&D and WoW... Sorry lol.

I play D&D both live and over Skype. Got some of my WoW guildies into it about a year ago but they live on the east coast so we run campaigns over the comp. The live versions are so much more fun though, especially if you get a group that rp's more than just wants to be in combat. Personally, I prefer 2nd edition and 3.5 over 4 though. Having the books in pdf form is useful as well.
I will note that the 6 person gaming table we built works great for taking pictures of the snakes though!
