Pen and paper RPGs good or bad?

I never saw a discussion on P&P rpgs here so I started one

 

[Yegargeburble]

I like 'em. If you can get a few people together, playing a PnP game is pretty fun.

How could they be bad? I can imagine the only responses from a survey like this to be "good" "awesome" "alright" "ok" and "what are they".

I played a game based on the book "A Roadside Picnic" (You know, it's where S.T.A.L.K.E.R was adapted from) It was great!

You get people who think old ideas are bad...

I don't particularly like them, but I can see why some do.

Thanks for telling us?

Pen and Paper RPGs are of course awesome. The only problem being that you need a bunch of likeminded people to enjoy them with, so it's really location, location, location.

PnP is the way to be!

....I know that sounds corny, but I feel that tabletop rpgs are (like good brandy and a full body massage) something that every well rounded individual should experience at least once. Few activities stimulate the mind, body, and thespian spirit quite like it.

Dungeons and Dragons. Shadow Run. You know, tabletop gaming.

I've played a few times, it was fun. I would have play more but no one played were I grew up and most the people I've met at RIT who I know play those games are the scary style P&P players that take it way to seriously.

First time I played was a very light version of D&D played with a small group over IRC (for maximum geek factor). That was fun but it fell apart after a few games due to scheduling issues.

Then the other time I played I once stayed over at a friend of a friends house before going to Projekt Revolution a couple years ago. Well one of the other guys there was actually working on his own P&P system and scenario and we all played for a few hours before going to sleep. It was good times.

It was in a Tabletop that I like any other respected nerd discovered my split, neutral-evil side.
