D&D Discussion Thread

[reapersaurus]

We have the problem in our group with two of our players. They always want to rush to the next fight, and are always getting ticked off if someone in the group is spending too much time actually roleplaying.

I'm a thief darn it! I'm going to try to steal stuff every now and then!

In my experience, anyone exhibiting this kind of behavior is not well suited for a roleplaying game.

Actually, the hardest players for me to deal with are the spotlight-hogs who play chaotic-neutral thieves (no, not a rogue they say - a THIEF) who really only play to do whatever they (the player) want and don;t give a crap about taking on a role for the game.
They just want the least limitations and the skills to do anything they want at any time, including dominating their fellow PC's thru threat of backstabbing or actually stealing from their fellow PC's. The best these players can manage to do is only skim SOME of the treasure they find and hide it from their fellow players.

In a nutshell, these players only play RPG's to WIN.
Which is about as pathetic as playing a game against yourself solely to win.

Before I get too involved in making custom character sheets and maps etc... which would greatly cut into my HS time (which is my number 1 game!) I thought I would display my recent purchase here:

I would be perfectly happy to trade with someone who is much more into D&D than I for some extra figs or even terrain. Feel free to PM if so, if not it'll still serve as a good "get all the kids together at once" game (Yeah, I've got FOUR!! Am I an idiot or what!!??) I'm happy either way
PS: I wasn't sure if this should be in the TRADE thread or not as it's not entirely HS related, so feel free to move if necessary.

I have never played RPGs with anyone that was there just to roll dice, but I haven't played in about 18 years and I only played with buddies from school (and a few friends of theirs). Is that type of player common these days?

 

[Vette71]

I can't say that I have ever played with anyone like that either, my old group always seemed to have just the right mix, at least for us anyway. But most of the newer, more "trendy" rpgs these days and most modern players, seem to be geared more toward an exercise in improvisational theatre. When one stops to consider that most new systems are more concerned with Drama Points than Ability Scores, that kind of says it all.

ok I'll post this here, a friend of the family's son recently passed away and his dad has a ton of old
Dragon Magazines(issue #74-188ish), some dungeon magazines. as well as a box full of old D &D and Ad&D manuals(list forthcoming soon)

the Manuals I took a quick look at and most are from late 80'2 to early 90's(ex: Player manul circa 1988: White notebook type Monster compendiums).

most are in decent/fair with some heavy use.

any idea what these might be worth? or sell for?

cheers
Rod

I'm very sorry to hear that news, I hope they are coping well, I couldn't imagine losing a child.
The early to 2nd edition stuff seems to be very popular among collectors and gamers to this day. It's very common to see it selling far quicker and for much more than the new stuff on places like eBay.
