    Dungeons and Dragons game

    Does anyone want to play a dungeons and dragons game?

    I don't know how it will work but we could try.

    Does anyone know of any special programs that allow you to play D&D online with other people?

    Skype, an irc client with a dice rolling program. Stuff like that.

    Only within myself.

    I'm on the official Virtual Table beta if you ever want to set up a game. I doubt many people here have it, though.

    Why Dungeons and Dragons though? Unless you plan on playing 4th edition (by the way you forgot to specify which edition, don't just assume because you like one edition and hate another that must be the common consensus, this leads to bad things) you could try the new and improved fun times of say, Pathfinder. Or maybe an OGL of an older edition if that catches your fancy.

    I dont really care about the edition because I recently have gotten into it and have no reserve in learning either of the two.

    Its appealing because of its flexibility that computer games does not have.

    Although I am currently looking up Pathfinder as you mention in order to see what it is about.

    May I recommend you try other table top rpgs other then Dungeons and Dragons? It's fine and all but it tends to be geared towards a certain play style.

    Yeah it has moved towards a particular direction over time.

    I personally have fun with all editions, as they focus on different things.
    1e: imagination! Do awesome crazy shit and fuck with the players.
    2e (AD&D): like 1e, but easier to keep track of. Gygax's modules are so good. I hate THAC0.
    3e: rules, for better or worse. But at least we understand how to deal with lots of different things.
    4e: d&d influenced vidyagaems, which influenced d&d. Full circle. Combat is actually a lot of fun now, but it's kinda weak on the RP/storytelling side unless you have good DM/players (whereas AD&D forced you to be a good storyteller, in 4e you can get away with just throwing combat encounters at the players)

    Pathfinder is "3.75e". Basically, fans/writers of 3.5e working at Paizo wanted to keep going with 3.5 d20 system instead of the significantly changed style of 4e.

    It's 3.5e with better rules. A lot of people that didn't like the new edition migrated to Pathfinder. Personally, I like both.

    4e is pretty weak on lore and detail and retcons a lot of stuff/updates it so much (time skip) that it's completely different, while Pathfinder is compatible with most existing material from the 3.5e era.

    Er, let me clarify.

    Pathfinder is D&D 3.5e in essence but is a separate game owned by a different company. You can adapt 3.5 settings yourself to Pathfinder but it has its own official continuity and stuff.

    Spiritual successor to 3.5e, not official.
