d&d online

[cimorene]

perhael and I have both always wanted to play Dungeons & Dragons. We were talking about it the other day and I googled d&d online and managed to come up (in addition to video games which was not what we wanted) with this site called The Tangled Web, where they run "pen and paper" RPGs over the internet, both over forums and in real time via some kind of program that is like... a virtual gaming tabletop (a piece of furniture I've only witnessed on crime shows belonging to the guilty and at cons surrounded by chips and discarded coffee cups), and looks intimidatingly complex.

So, actually, I'm still intimidated. I started poking around the site a little bit, but I didn't actually get to the point of reading through the introduction to the software, or signing up. perhael says there's a teaching game though.

I've played Settlers of Catan for BIL's idk his bff Thos.'s birthday and I think one other time possibly and also a similar board game and generally I have liked them but thought they would be more fun if they were more like I have gathered (imagined?) D&D to be, over the years. Also my parents had this really fun card RPG that is apparently kind of rare but I really liked it a lot as a kid.

I played when I was younger and then I played Magic: The Gathering -- which I liked, except for the money you have to invest in buying new or better cards.

Now, I play online card battle games - one is a D&D type called Clash of the Dragons and the other is a superhero-ish game named Legacy of Heroes.

In MySpace I had a pro-Google site many years before the black out. I have friends smart enough to work for them. :) I love Google.

In the time since we spoke, I've found myself looking longingly at pictures of polygonal dice and downloaded a bunch of D&D manuals. It seems like so much fun!
