Really? Which RPGs? Depending on which one it is, it's actually not too hard to find games online, I frequent the Wizards of the Coast forums and they have a section that advertises online games, though they are only Wizards ones of course. Other than that, there's a great little place called the Tangled Web that does a lot of DnD and Star Wars.Jestabobo said:
I've played D&D 3.5, over the years also of home brew and variant rules ended up used in my campaign setting so when I tried 4th edition it was just to different from our groups play style that we passed it over. As DM I liked that it was faster and easier to write balanced encounters but I still prefer the way magic worked (using a spell points variant instead of vancian casting) 3.5 won out. I've also had experience with WoD, d20 modern and Star Wars SAGA over the years.
Me and a few friends play Warhammer 40,000 Inquisitor, but we play it in a very RPG way, using the base rules to create role-playing scenarios and that sort of thing. Awesome!
they also have a semi-vancian system in 4.0, where they must choose their daily spells each day from a spellbook.. It doesn't have the huge scope of 3.0 and 3.5, but that's because a lot of the old spells have been delegated to rituals, and the daily spells in the spellbook are designated for attack spells (or wizard specific utility spells).Flying-Emu said:
There is definitely room for someone who pines for the old "huge vancian spellcasting system" to rebuild it.. playing a wizard for years in D&D and then playing one in 4.0, I have to say I like it.
I used to run both a Runequest (mongoose) campaign and a Paranoia Campaign. Onfortunately both fell apart. Partly because everyone in the Paranoia games were TOO immature or taking it personally each time they were terminated. Both of them ultimately failed though because the gaming club i used to run it at got a new head and wasn't open regurely. i tried starting up a new runequest campaign away from it but finding regular times was very difficult and there wasn't enough commitment in the players.
I am however looking for a new RPG to play. So if anyone in canberra has an RPG group (can be anything, i'm willing to learn) or is looking for a group give me a PM.
I would love to get into another MRQ campaign though...

OP, you know the majority of posters that give a damn about responding are going to say yes... this poll says nothing.
I don't think Warhammer/40k count but i play them. I have played one once of the name i could not remember, i think i played knight and my specialty was i could equal the strength of anyone in combat regardless of any items or whatever. I cant remember the name but it was awesome fun.
Vancian isn't spell points, Vancian is memorizing specific spells to be used each day.Saris Kai said:
