Which ones?

Some Guy
A derisive term for a game that is all combat, and/or for players that are only concerned about combat. Looked down upon by most gamers, because it is seen to go against the spirit of RPGs: 'why play a roleplaying game if you're not going to pay any attention to the role? That's what wargames, computer games, and other tactical games are for.'

• munchkin
• power gamer
• minimaxing/minimaxer
• Min-Maxing/minmaxer
• raping the rules/raping the system/rules
• raping/rules raper
• point-shaver
• mathematician
• rules lawyer
• dice bouncing
• roll-playing

Spec-out: the specifications of the character, how its points are spent, its nature
Talk-work Rogue: think Dirk Benedict's character from the A-Team, 'Face'
Finger-work Rogue: think ninja-super-thief

I haven't played pen & paper AD&D in about ten years. I bought a couple of the 2nd Version books, but haven't kept up with it other than knowing that TSR is no more and that Wizards of the Coast now own the rights. too bad we live on different sides of the country, Fyron, or we could get a game going (I wonder if Tampa Gamer is lurking here and is a player also). And you're right; a computerized Version of the game isn't quite the same. I sure do miss the interaction of a good role-playing session. I always played a barbarian. Gotta love them.

as for Inappropriate Character... imagine yourself a bard WITHOUT ALL THOSE FIGHTER THINGS that was thrown into a KILL ALL THAT MOVES game. that was a distaster, all i could do is sing

D&D is fun

[narf poit chez BOOM]

well, depending on your singing, you could still do damage...

I second Puke's suggestion to consider other RPG's besides D&D, because there is a much variety between them (and between different Groups), and different people have different tastes.

I refer to D&D as DuD, myself, but most of you know I have rare tastes.
