although I have never played, I have asked my partner to, but he doesn't want to teach me. I am on the other hand, am a fan of the cartoon and film, if that helps you not being alone!
I doubt there is an RPG made before 2000 that I have NOT played.
While D&D was one, my personal favorites were Rolemaster and Space Opera
I played pretty much constantly from 1977ish (Basic D&D) until 1989 or so, then sporadically until the mid-nineties. Haven't played in probably close to 20 years, though I keep up with the scene via web forums. I would gladly play again if I had a group (the friends I played with have scattered and, in one case, passed on). A cleric (priest) and a thief were my two major characters.
We played more than just D&D, though. Most major role-playing games passed over our table during the eighties and I had personally become fond of products from Hero Games by the time I stopped playing regularly.
So, lots to confess, I guess.
I'm a huge DND gamer. I almost always play a half-elf druid. Or I am the DM.
Wouldn't you rather have a nice cup of tea?
Never played, but used to live with a bunch of nerds (I use that term lovingly) who hosted a weekly game. Now, I've found a couple of D&D podcasts online, and have been listening. I'm more open to learning to play it now, but don't know anyone who plays.
Don't believe everything that you read.
I used to play a good bit back in 2nd edition days, Had a lot of friends who played as well. Love the D&D roleplaying computer games. My son has gotten into it now and I've Dm'ed some for he and his friends.
