i.. have been known to play DnD…

hard to find selective, cooperative, and dedicated players in/around where i live…

the worst thing about D n D i find is that players are constantly unable to make deadlines, stick with plans, or continue in the same campaign..

ALthough i am currently shifting to 4.0, (the group i am playing in now uses 4.0), i am most experienced with 3.5.. where i can remember two accounts.. of rolling multiple constant criticals in a single round practically killing the boss with a single attack..   good times…

I used to play 3.5 ALL THE TIME and it was loads of fun.  I like to play with people who don't take anything too seriously.  My favorite memories are of this guy who had played for years but would make some of the silliest mistakes.  Like, one time he leaps off the side of a building (that had no accessible stairs or ladders) and activates an immovable rod thinking that he'll just be hanging in mid-air.  But he didn't have enough strength so he slipped off and fell a long way to the ground.  He also used to put on anything that talked to him.  Lots of friendly, talkative helmets were the bane of our group.

The only D&D I'm personally familiar with is 2nd Edition AD&D. I sadly never got to play it much, however. All my exposure to later versions of the game are due to electronic translations. I've gleaned enough from them to understand a lot of the basic changes (and how good they are for simplifying the game).

I'd happily get involved in a campaign with someone. I'd personally shy away from DM'ing (a role I took on more often than not the few time I did get to play) since I know I'd be ages out of practice, esecially since I've hardly written anything in years; the old creative muscles are bound to be creaky.

Two of my favorite memories were as a player. The first was as a dwarf, fresh in town and trying to get into some building guarded by a minotaur. He wouldn't let me through and I didn't want to pull a weapon in town so I just decided to punch him. A 20 followed by a lucky d100 resulted in the bull man getting laid out in one blow, at which point I just strolled away. The second had me (as a 2nd Ed Bard) and another character sneaking along a castle wall to pass a giant. I decided to jump off the wall to try and backstab him with a two handed sword I had picked up (screw proficiency!) My partner did the same, only as a plain surprise attack (he was a fighter or something). He epically failed and hit the ground (totally missing a freaking giant), but I managed a crit and killed him in one hit at something like level 2. We weren't supposed to actually attack the giant, I don't think. Dice make such unpredictable friends.

I haven't played D&D in… god. Must be a good 15 years now.
