This topic is about your favorite or ongoing Pen and Paper RPGs.
I have played a lot of P&P RPGs ever since the original D&D from around 1978 or so. Right now I almost exclusively play online, and pretty much stick with the D&D 3.5 ed. rules now. In the past my favorites have been Vampire: The Masquerade and other Storyteller games but mostly VTM, Champions (4th and 5th), Gamma World (pretty much all versions except the Alternity one), Legend of the Five Rings (L5R), Warhammer Fantasy Role-Play (WFRP 1st ed.), Cyberpunk 2.0.2.0., Shadowrun, TORG, and a few others. I have had tangential experience with at least a couple of dozen other ones such as the ever-popular-but-for-some-reason-never-really-my-bag GURPS.
Right now I am running a D&D 3.5e game online over at http://www.rpol.net which is set in the Green Ronin Freeport pirate city setting. It's all about Dark Things Man Should Not Know mixed in with a bit of pirate flavor and urban adventuring. Sort of a Pirate-Cthulhu flavor.

I've never actually played a P&P RPG; all my knowledge (or lack thereof) of D&D came from CRPGs. |

I love playing D&D. I think the most fun I've had with it was when a friend got the D20 Call of Cthulu book. We had a campaign that took place in a shack in the woods. Not terribly original, but it WAS pretty creepy at times.

Actually, it was a den for crackheads. I was there as an undercover cop, who was supposed to save the chief's daughter (one of the crackheads), but the other characters showed up and shot that too hell. Eventually, we realized she wasn't a crackhead at all, but her mind was fudgeed up because she was a sacrifice for Cthulu or something (don't remember the details). One of us had to kill her first, which reset the timeline.

i wish i had some people around here to play with. ive never really had a good proper D&d game with a large group over time, but it would be a lot of fun.
i do love me some Nethack, though |

I wish I could find a group of adult RPGers who aren't total antisocial dorks. That's the real trick.
