RE: Gaming Nostalgia Contest: Dungeons & Dragons [Gaming]
Oh my god what a great post. And if this didn't interest me more than enough on DnD I don't know what will.
I loved how you talked about the custom maps classes and tokens. It really brings out the love you have for this franchise and the memories you created while playing. I'll make sure to try DnD out sometime and i'll let you know how that goes!
What is the current edition called? D&D 5?
I skimmed through the players handbook, and I felt like they finally made the perfect game rules. Much freeform, so you can borrow from any of the past books. It allows players to be as complex or simple as they want, and still have a valuable character to play. That is because the new rules ensure that all abilities are purchased through point by mechanics, so you can't min/max to have an unfair advantage.
I don't know what the current edition is called, if only i could try playing an online version of DnD or just searching for a Dungeon Master to set the game up but either way i'm really realy hyped about it
Visit your local game stores, comic shops, or even bookstores to find out if any local game communities exist. That would be my suggestion to try it out and see if you like it, and get help learning the rules for turn-based gameplay.
For some reason wizards of the coast never saw any profit potential in online table top servers. Instead they released multiplayer games like Dungeons and Dragons Online and Neverwinter Night, but those were more like point and click games similar to Diablo.
Fantasy Grounds still exists I believe. You can check out and see if they have forums dungeon masters recruiting new players.
Those are some definitely good options, i'll check them out!
