re: Anyone here ever play Dungeons and Dragons? (DnD)

I learned back in 2e days, so I tend to be of the "you whippersnappers need to follow the damn rules!" mindset. 3e was great, 3.5 even better, but 4e was like a completely different game. I never bought any of the 4e stuff. I have heard good things about 5e. I really need to check it out, but since Pathfinder exists now, I have less motivation to do so. Plus I haven't found a good group in a long time.

To the OP: tabletop RPGs are awesome, but be prepared to learn some things about your friends you might not want to know. I remember back when I was in the Navy, some friends of mine from the ship and I decided to start up a group. We all rolled up characters before the first session, and when we introduced our PCs to each other, one of my friends (who was very much a male, with a wife and kids) told everyone, "I like to play as a girl. I just always have." We all said sure, ok, whatever, and tried to just roll with it, but later in the game when his character started flirting with mine... well, we didn't make it too many sessions into the campaign.
