I had a room mate that was really into this in the 80's; kind of an extension of his "RISK" fetish. I played once. Not that I wasn't interested, I've just never been a fiction kinda guy. I've never bothered with any kind of games, and when I did, I just play until I conquer it, then I lose interest.
My son is a big gamer, loves his Play Station. He brings it over and we play golf once in a while. I like that. Almost beat him last game, lost by one stroke because I choked on the 18th green.

Yup. Even went to GenCon in '83. Had all my D&D books signed by Gygax... traded 'em for a Ruger 44 carbine about 20 years ago.

When you look at all that D&D has spawned...RPGs, MMORPGs's, fantasy genre movies, books, etc, etc it really is unbelievable. Gary Gygax was one smart mofo. So who here plays an MMO? |

I had two roommates that got into Ultima Online, kind of a D&D esque role playing online game. We of course made fun of them mercilessly. One of them was more casual, and somehow even managed to score with women (a lot) with a big map of the UO world taped to his wall. The other got a bit too engrossed, and would dissappear into his room for days on end to play. He somehow ended up sharing IMs with the wife of another player that also lived in KS, and ended up sleeping with her. No joke. He eventually realized how nutty it all was and pulled the plug.

I tried a few times in high school with my friends. As is always the case, the quests never went as planned and most of the time was spent arguing and not playing. I gave up on it pretty quick.
A LOT of the people I work with play D&D, other RPGs, and Warcrack. The week of GenCon is a ghost town around here. Guess what? Most of the people I know who play D&D spend most of their gaming sessions arguing with each other over the proper application of the rules... I get made fun of because I like cars and not imaginary characters...

Never.
My 8 year old son is however completely lost in World of Warcraft. It takes a crowbar to separate him from it.

I tried it once while I was away at a boarding school. I really didn't get it. (I'll bet that comes as a surprise)
