I was wondering how may people here like to play RPG style games?   I am asking due to i play an online text based RPG that is in need of a larger player base.

Anyone that thinks that this may be interesting can get more details from the Continents  Mud web site.

I myself have been playing for about half a year, and find the game quite different and enjoyable.

I must admit to dabbling in the beardy side of things...though I insist on that being my best friends fault. At any rate it started with the text based tame with a funky GUI called "Nightmist" and is now at Neverwinter Nights... which I reinstalled two days ago and am playing through again now.

Neverwinter is Teh King, Babay!

With all the tilesets and a fairly faithful implementation of D&D 3.x(you pick) it's liable to stay there for a while, specially since it makes Evercrack's graphics look pathetic by comparison.

I working my way through the Hordes of the Underdark and parts of it suck.  I mean it's great overall, but my 18 Sorcerer/3 Dragon Disciple is stuck where her magic won't work and is getting owned by giant spiders, I mean WTF?

RPGs? Chrono Trigger is all I swear by. Though Pokemon was surprisingly enjoyable...

...and on a slightly pertinent rant, why is it that people seem to want to put apostrophes to indicate plurals of things like RPG's, 100's, and DVD's? I thought apostrophes had two uses - either as an abbreviation for a single letter (e.g. wasn't, I'm), or to indicate the possessive (e.g. Kalfireth's). Am I going nuts or is this really just bad grammar?

actually, i IRC roleplay at times.. but as far as RPGs go... well. as far as single player goes.. kotor all the way..

as far as RPG elements go, i was dissapointed with deus ex2, the biomod system was too restrictive to my mind.

I finished Chrono Trigger again yesterday for the "insert-large-number-here" time.
Awesome game.

Yes, I play RPG's, one of my favourite genres

I like the so called "console RPG's" quite a lot but NwN is also something I play quite often.

Text based RPG's I haven't tried

What ticks me off more is people going 'an RPG', when the indefinite article should be 'a'.

What ticks me off is people who don't understand the rules of their own language.

Here's a hint: The whole reason for the a/an dichotomy is to ease pronunciation. "An" always precedes vowel sounds, so you don't have two vowels slurring into each other. Thus--

"An RPG".
"A role-playing game".

Some people use an apostrophe to seperate the pluralising morpheme from a acronyms. This is especially useful in cases where you have mixed case acronym. Merely tacking it on could result in the pluralising morpheme being construed, incorrectly, as part of the acronym.

On the other hand, it could be that with acronyms and other such non-linguistic contructs (letters: which implies more than one letter 'a'? "As" or "A's"?), the normal pluralising rules don't quite fit visually.

Of course, I could be a nong.
