Wap + Grom (and other posters) - Thanks! I knew that someone would find this interesting! *Looks down nose at Supersnipa* .

Good one TET .

AoD - You could always try "Multi-User Dungeons" (MUDs); they are like an online form of D&D. They are usually either text or ASCII based.

I wonder if Taw ever played D&D? He was around back then, but he was probably too "cool" .

Tried the game once, but could not find a impartial dungen master. The PC version is ok, just harder to get into. Playing Balders gate was about the best one to me.

BG and BG2 are great games, and NWN is quite good as well. Especially when you get the better visuals from SoTU .

I know what you mean about impartial DMs. When my cousin DM'd a game of Battletech many years ago... I can't go on; too many painful memories .

I second that... and I have to say Bioware did a pretty good job of putting D&D into the Star Wars universe in KOTOR too. (Now, if only we could solve the poor PC port... )

I first played D+D back in 1979. Back then pen and paper RPG wasn't considered "geeky" because not many people knew or played it. Have to admit I gave it up once I turned 15 because I had started going out with a cute girl and was worried she'd dump me as a nerd. ( tsk, tsk. the things I'll do for a skirt) Never had the chance to start up again since but I always look back at that as one of the greatest games I've ever played. BG and BG2 don't compare. The real enjoyment of D+D was the interaction with your friends.

do you cansider Diablo as part of this genre? I don't like DnD at all, and most fantasy/sorcery stuff I steer clear of, but ay fooki' lurv Diablo (2) lvl 49 assassin.

Mmm, although Diablo is not based upon D&D rules, it is entirely possible that it was inspired by D&D. The sci-fi/fantasy genre has been around for a long time; even before D&D (of course).
