So how many of you out there participate in RPGs? I'm not talking about the video game variety, I mean the good ol' tried and true tabletop RPGs like D&D. I don't play too much... most of what I've tried was Big Eyes, Small Mouth, an anime RPG using the Tri-stat system. I've never used miniatures or anything more intensive like that, though I have done some illustrations for a miniatures game module for Chunky Dungeons. Cole and I brought up all this in the "Anime Conventions" thread, so feel free to continue the conversation from there.

used to play and gm D&D and Shadowrun... dabbled at a few others. no one to play with now.

oh i really like playing to D&D too! ^^ great game! hehe

hmm the only RPG I have ever played is the internet ind where everyone takes a role and acts it out ^-^ What is D&D though?

fire emblem!the best RPG game ever! and also I've been on fire emblem RPG internet sites
< is a big RPG fan

Well I am stritly a table top player, I think is just better exspecially when you get a good group going...
Been trying to find a good setting to run in... somthing uniqe and original with a lt of freedom as a DM
I'VE Dabeled in Warcraft RPG
and Dark Sun
and I just got the new Arcana Evolved be monte Cook so I'll see how that goes...

Does anyone here have a suggestion of a fav setting to work in?

I'm lost here... you guys are talking about RPG games but not the one's like Final Fantasy on the Playstation? So is it the games like Dungeons and Dragons that uses books, dices, and tokens?

There are anime RPG's? Is there any AMG titles for Tri-stats?

yep, talking about old fashioned paper and dice use your imagination role playing games. Dungeons and dragons is just the most famous/infamous also my favorite to play or referee.

yea! you get to invent your very own character who may be elf, human, gnome, semi-ork, semi-elf, or halfling! ^^ and then you choose your class which are barbarian, magician, warrior, cleric etc... hehe it's really fun when the dungeon master is good, and your other companion are motivated. ^^ i usually play an elf cleric. and you have all sorts of dices! it's really fun.

There aren't any AMG titles in the BESM/Tri-stat setting... their pre-made modules so far are Hellsing, Trigun, Tenchi, Demon City Shinjuku, Dominion Tank Police, Fushigi Yugi, the Slayers, Utena, and Sailor Moon. I might have missed a few, but I think that's it. However, it's such a user-friendly system (even to people like me who are overwhelmed by the fact that there are even dice MADE with 20 sides), that you can easily create your own setting, or model character classes after anime you've seen. For example, I was able to create an entire setting for an Aliens RPG using the BESM 2nd Ed. handbook. Just be sure that you don't confuse BESM/Tri-stat with BESM d20. The d20 verson of it, according to my boyfriend anyway, is slightly more complicated than plain old d20 for D&D. He said it's good for running an anime-themed game if your players refuse to use something other than d20, but the Tri-stat version is much more streamlined, easy to use, and more accurate for creating anime-style action.

Since we're on the subject, if you guys would like, I'm sure my boyfriend and I could join forces and create an AMG table-top RPG based around the tri-stat system. Would anyone be interested in that? If so, I'll be spending the next week with him and we can work on that. ^_^

if thee were a AMG besm tri-stat game I would give it a second chance...
And yeah technically BESMd20 is more complicated than D&D d20 but that is only becouse D&D d20 is the core for the entire d20 system, many home games or setings will introduce their oun rules into the system so that every game will have a feel that belongs purly to it...

I would really love that! I'll introduce it at my school to those AMG fans and this game will be popular in no time!

if any of you guys like fantasy and war RPGing you should play fire emblem it rules

Is it a table top game or video game?

hmmm Ive never really tried any of these things before...not that many people around here where I live who are into this kind of thing
