Great topic! I love games. I really enjoyed HabitRPG! Otherwise I played PC games a fair bit a decade ago (HL2, Portal, WoW, that sort of thing) and a lot of the classic point and click adventures in the nineties (Indiana Jones, Monkey Island, Loom). Other than that, no PC gaming for me.
When I was a teenager, I was into pen&paper RPGs, but after an incident with one of the players my group disbanded and I've never really gotten back into it again. I really, really loved it while we were still doing it, though.
It matters a lot to me if the game has got a good narrative or not. If the narrative is good, I'll give almost anything a go. That's also why I never play cardgames, even though Crocky loves them.
I didn't know there was a classic board game revival going on, but you could definitely say I'm taking part in it. My favourite game at the moment is Legends of Andor: And we've played it a lot, including the fanmade campaigns, some of which are better than the originals. It's basically a table top RPG in wich a book is your GM. A bit like HeroQuest, another favourite. Forbidden Island is another good one, as is Evolution. Oh, and Mice and Mystic rules, too. If anyone's got good board game recommendations, I'd be grateful.
I know that technically, there is a way to play D&D online, but so far, I haven't been brave enough. Whenever I didn't play with friends, I ended up in groups of all former hardcore players who were all men. That was in real life, though, so maybe it's different online... has anyone any experience with that?
