Do you guys play?
If so, what version do you prefer, what classes interest you/do you play the most?
And a question about actual role playing, how often do you metagame? Is it easy to open up to new groups and just "role play"?
I've been drawn in around the end of 3.5, about a year before 4.0 came out.
I liked the complex interactions and "floating" ambiguous rules. I found myself playing melee characters more than spellcasters (but holy hell were the casters fun when I did), but nothing from the gay book of nine swords.
I almost never use classes outside the PHB and DMG, generally sticking to the tried and trusted. I think I've played a Scout once upon a game. I would like to RP more, but it feels so weird, especially if no one else does it, or metagames hard core, or acts totally out of character.
"You take 6 con damage"
"Okay, I'm going to sleep for 6 days"
"What are you? Some sort of wanderer?"
"No, I'm a "favored soul"."
"How bad are your wound? Are they light, moderate, or serious?"
(At least its better than "You've taken 23 points of damage last combat, let me heal you."
How do you discourage instances like those?
Just the other day I started playing the Bard, while you can't call him a power-class by way of statistics and rules, you can call him a roleplaying powerhouse.
How would you guys feel about roleplaying on this forum?
