Pen & Paper (spun from the Dragon Age convo)

[Tawmis]

BTW, just for reference, I'm not a Tolkien fan. In fact, I usually despise fantasy, including Tolkien and D&D (which itself is heavily influenced by Tolkien). The Dragon Age series is one of the very few fantasy universes that I actually enjoy.

I think we talked before, about your dislike of D&D.

Curious, would you ever play a RPG that wasn't fantasy? Say something like Star Frontiers, which is SciFi?

(Mostly just curious if you have done any pen and paper game? I just didn't want to side track the Dragon Age thread with that).

And curious of anyone else who has played pen & paper games (no matter what they were - D&D, Pathfinder, Star Frontiers, Ravenloft, Marvel RPG, Champions, etc)...

I prefer science fiction to fantasy, so sure, I'd try a sci-fi RPG.

As for playing pen-and-paper games, no, I've never played one. My experiences are confined to CRPGs, which in itself might account for dislike of the D&D world.

Very cool. Next time I am in Canada, and skipping the bus tour, we're doing some pen and paper (Star Frontiers, which is a system that is pretty dern basic - and why I love it so much!)!
