I'm curious as to how many Pagans are into the game. If you do play it, do you like 3E/3.5, 4E, Pathfinder, or an older edition? Personally, I'm a straight up Pathfinder fan.
As an additional question, what classes do you like to play? In Pathfinder, I like the paladin, sorcerer, witch, alchemist, inquisitor, ranger, and barbarian for official classes, and for homebrew the various artificer conversions, especially the ardwright, are nice.

Morgandria I've been playing since my early teens. I still prefer AD&D 2nd edition. Never played that. I'm only 20, and I started with 3.5 when I was 15. When 4E came out, I went to Pathfinder. Wizards just doesn't care about it's fans, and Paizo does. Plus, I like having the OGL around. The GSL is too much of a straitjacket for 3PPs, and 3PP content is great.

The GSL is too much of a straitjacket for 3PPs, and 3PP content is great. Ah. My experiences with 3rd Ed. and onward have left me relatively cold. I find the newer editions just make the game too much like an MMO or video game. It's a style I don't care for. TSR was great as a company. It's a shame its' time came and went.

I've only played like probably 2-3 sessions of 2nd and like 2-3 sessions of 4th. I had quit talking to the DM that ran 2nd and the DM that runs 4th is a whiney a** and says he can't run D&D because he has to plan for his LARP.

I've played a few games in 3.5 and done some stuff with Pathfinder, though not as a player. The folks I game with like to play lots of different tabletops so we mix it up a bit. Right now there's a Shadowrun game and a couple of homebrews in the works.

I play 4th ed- and I like it because I enjoy having a level playing field and letting things like class be more about flavor. There's nothing worse than playing a magic user and knowing you have a better chance stabbing your teammate in the back than actually casting a spell.
Right now we're about to start playing Shadowrun.

I've not played D&D but I have played Mouse Guard. It's a similar idea but instead the world is about Mice and the enemies are owls, bears, badgers etc. Because my friends are very tongue in cheek the main enemy, I was the GM, was a faction of Fascist Mice called Ze Hammermousen.

My boyfriend and his friends played for a long time and I got into it. Eventually they started a new campaign and I joined. ((we played the 3.5 version)) But we barely accomplished anything. Everyone just bullshitted the entire time, took cigarette breaks every 10 minutes and barely played DnD. It didn't take long for the campaign to drop and we haven't started again since. Nobody has the time anymore. I'm kind of disappointed, it'd be nice to actually play it.

I love D&D, Mom says I inherited it from my biological father, he was really into it. I played a game of AD&D. Later I played 3.5 with my friends in high school. I usually play as a cleric, although I often am the Dungeon master (there is a strange line of DM inheritance that my group adheres to)
as far as the edition controversy, I feel people tend to favor their childhood edition. In high school I played 3.5 so I favor it. I have issues with the aesthetics of 4th edition. My theory seems to explain my opinions.
As I recall there were a lot of pagans in my D&D group. It is nice to know there are others who get similar enjoyment out of the game.

Me, me, me, me smile
I play with my boyfriend and his friends. We play a kind of ghetto version of 3.5, where our DM kind of changes all the rules. We play with a lot of newbies, so he's made it a lot easier for everyone involved haha
I wanted soo badly to play a rogue, but I was the last to make a character, and we needed a healer. So I decided to play a druid (Which I find really funny, as a pagan and all).

Vlad T confused nI want to LARP but my group thinks that's beneath them :[ Say wha-? How would it be beneath them? Though I know not all roleplayers like both tabletop and LARP. The club I'm in is mostly LARPers. I was talking to my cousin when my aunt was driving me home on Christmas and he said that he just didn't like LARP and prefered D&D. Hell I knew a girl who hated the idea of tabletop and LARP but enjoyed passing our notebook around during school and roleplaying online. It just really depends on the mindset. You like getting up and moving around acting out (most) everything then you'd like LARP. You like just sitting there rolling dice then you'd like tabletop. You like the anonymous interactions of writing everything down then online or even writing it in a notebook and passing it is for that person.
