I remember buying a boxed set of darksun stuff thinking it was a board game and couldn't make sense of any of it... but the pictures and stories were awesome so I started buying the miniatures. Then I discovered rpgs on the computer. I am melting in the nostalgia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben K.6238 Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 First edition I'd played was AD&D as well, where currency was indeed demarcated in gp, sp and cp. I suspect there may have been pp as well, but none of the characters I ever played got far enough to see those, so I'm not entirely sure. I've also never played tabletop. All of the D&D groups I've played have been via internet, first through the IRC-inspired chatrooms for an IPX emulator known as Kali (we didn't just play AD&D, obviously) and later through more specialised tools with some rudimentary map functions. Unfortunately we've yet to find anything in the mould of Neverwinter Nights that actually gives enough freedom to take over from old-fashioned chatrooms. 3.5e has been my favourite for its sheer variety of sourcebooks. I tended to play characters that weren't allowed by standard rules, such as dragons; when we got them to work I had to rely on wits rather than power, because the penalties required to make unusual races playable tended to result in a horribly underpowered character for its effective level. Must have driven my DMs absolutely mad. These days it's probably easier to find groups if you aren't reliant on physical items; it's much easier to find people interested in RPGs when you aren't restricted by geography.
