    Does anyone here ever....?

    ........ play any games that are not computer orientated, and no, im not talking about Blackjack or rummy?

    Just wondering if we have any fans of Dungeons and Dragons, Cyberpunk or the new World of Darkness series of White Wolf games?

    I used to play the Star Wars RPG, Shadowrun and Earthdawn by FASA and briefly played Call of Cthulhu, Kult, Paranoia and Warhammer (All these wern't the table top with the figures, they had the character sheets and you just decided what to do as a team kinda thing)

    Used to be a big group of us that used to play, really fun allround. Unfortunately no one I know plays them now so it kinda died off. My favourite was the 2 Harlequin books for Shadowrun, such good campaigns.

    Yeah it was a great game, if you had a decent games master they could set the scene just right and scare the crap outa you with some of the monsters, mind you going insane was a bit killer of characters, especially when you came across some of the larder monsters.

    Paranoia was really fun, completely mad. Had 4 clones so when one got killed another turned up to replace you're dead character. Colour coded walls etc told you where you could and couldnt go.

    I play snakes and ladders every now and then.
    To err is human. To really foul things up ... you need a computer.

    I'd still play Risk if I knew anyone who liked to play it....oh, many found memories of drinking cheap French stubbies and getting mildly plastered while trying to hold onto the Asian continent...it's impossible though....
