The RPG Thread

Old school table top books, pen, paper and dice for me. I haven’t played in many years though. PC games fail to capture my imagination.

table top is the best. Though it’s a teenage hobby. Not because it isn’t awesome and still way enjoyable but because everyone has diffrent schedules.

I have no idea what those are.

have you ever read a choose your own adventure? I read a star trek one back in the day and I kept dying.

Harlequin : World of Darkness you say…  Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines was a great PC Game.  One of my favorites.  Really awesome gameplay and storyline.  That, and V:TM - Requiem are the only ones I’ve played.  Never done the Pen&Paper style :-P 

The computer games were fantastic, but even still I prefer the pen and paper version, at least the Old WoD. New WoD is just utter crap. And yes, Vampire was my favorite (Clan Tremere, to be specific), but Changeling the Dreaming and Werewolf come in tied for second.

Gangrel right here :stuck_out_tongue: .  Favorite of the Clans.  Have you heard about the new World of Darkness MMO they are working on…?

MMO?! No but I’m looking it up now! lol

Pretty much anything bethesda are prepared to throw this way! Skyrim obsessed right now. I’m eraserhead78 on xbox live if there’s any other live people here

@Harlequin : I flipped out too :stuck_out_tongue: .  Very excited to see and hear more about it

How many of these games cost you a fee to play online? My friend loved, I think it was Dragon Age 2 (on the PSN), but stopped online play when it just got too expensive.

I will only play online games if I am not charged.  I tried WoW awhile ago, and the whole pay-to-play thing bothered me, and so I stopped.  I’m hoping that the WoD MMO isn’t pay to play

I haven’t been on Snuffhouse much lately, because my home PC crashed just before New Year’s Eve, and the times I can access the site from my office PC are few and far between.

The good news (and what makes this post on-topic) is that my new PC is on order – an Alienware X51.  Once received, I should be able to play any game I choose, regardless of system requirements. I can’t wait!
:smiley:

@PipenSnusnSnuff  Pong will run like a scalded cat on that thing!

LOL

But will it blend?

They still make Alienware?! That in itself is news to me!

Dell bought them out.  Way cheaper to build your own with high end components

but easier to mess up

 

I haven’t had a new computer on ages…the awesome hardware I get to work on has spoiled me, and I don’t want to spend that kind of money on my own rig.  It’s hard to find that balance.

@JohnnyFriday:  Agreed, one can get a much better and cheaper rig by going the DIY route.  But then you’re stuck with having to fix it yourself, too, if something goes wrong.  A lot of us just don’t want to mess with all that.  For a casual gamer like me, the choice was obvious.  Your mileage may differ.

Besides, I’ve dreamed of owning an Alienware machine for years, but the price range was always way out of my reach.  Finally, they created an affordable line of gaming PCs with the X51 series.  The reviews at places like CDNet and PC Magazine have all been good, too – I haven’t seen any review yet with less than four out of five stars.
