I play DnD with some friends every now and then (I'm still somewhat new to it though, which is something they will not let me hear the end of).
I just follow what everyone else is doing so I'm not really certain what rules/realm etc. we use, I mostly just hurt people (and vomit holy water while using more profanities than a holy Paladin really should...).

I haven't played D&D for a very long time. Our Call of Cthulhu group has a Keeper (DM) who is excellent, and a good keeper makes all the difference in CoC. Actually, he wants to play, but no one lets him because he's so good at telling a good horror story.
My brother, his friends, and I are setting up. I will be DMing. He just told me their character's classes. Mostly combat based. One sorcerer.
We still all need to learn the rules better though as we are all new to PnP DnD, but my brother and I know some stuff and will be basically in charge.

I've played a couple games, but I'm not in one now. It was a homebrew setting my GM came up with. We were playing D&D 3.5e.
My characters always operate on irony in some way. This particular session I was playing a Chaotic Neutral intimidate warblade who tends to run from combat. Further, he always runs from combat in the most awesome way possible.
There was one session where it was supposed to move away from combat and towards diplomacy. Guards burst into the party's room at an inn with shackles to take us away. My character, Myrek, was sleeping near the window. He jumped out (natural 20'd the jump check) and was surrounded by two guards with polearms on either end of the alley outside. He made a tumble and then an Insightful Strike check for nonlethal damage (also both natural 20's, it was unreal). Since Insightful Strike can basically punch through steel, we'd been calling it "Fist of Norris", and it was my signature move.
But the fact of the matter is I natural 20'd three times in a row. The GM told it like this:
"Okay, you dive out of the window, do three somersaults, and land on the first guard's polearm. Then you kick him in the face, he's sent flying backwards and crashes through the back door to the inn, unconscious. The other guard soils himself, drops his weapon, and runs away shouting 'It's a demon! Deeeeemon!'."
The entire party then followed me out the window, with the exception of our Evil cleric, who was in a separate room, and killed everyone who came after him, then casually walked outside. We all stole horses and rode off into the sunset.

I was invited to a session this friday. I believe we're using one of the 3-something version rules.
Once or twice a week, about 6-7 hours per session. We stick to 3.5 and 4th edition, but also play other tabletop games such as CoC, and we're planning to try out Mutants and Masterminds, but I don't expect much of it. The campaign world varies each time unless there is an ongoing campaign. By the way, to the person above me, that's a good song.
