Im 15, never tried, but it sounds so totally awesome.

[SuperGilaroo]

Good job explaining it.

[pkermage55]

@pessimistpojken same

[GhostlyStarcraft]

I'm going out tomorrow with my friends (we even got a girl to come) and we're picking up a starter kit!

[holygrayell]

@pessimistpojken Im 17, and just starting out and so far, it's better than any RPG game i've played on a console. When you're grouped with friends, and can ast out your part without being embarrassed, you really feel like your in the game. It's amazing fun with a good group, definitely give it a try.

Such a moron

[nigeljohnson95]

@pessimistpojken LOL one year later im the exact same scenario :p

[clonecommander62]

You know, I'd love to play this but without the dice rolls, and the result of an action is decided by how well the player describes the move.

Once you start watching one of Robrt's videos, you gotta watch them all because of his sweet voice, calming my mind and heart like a cup of tea after a long day.

@pessimistpojken its more tahn awesome, ITS TOTALLY ADDICTING !!!! WOOOHOOOOO want to play A D&D evry day *_*

[chaozuper]

@pessimistpojken same here man!

[RPGamer33]

i play dnd or more i know the rules all my friends call me a nerd and the two people who do play dont know any rules,have any dice,own any ruebooks or understand the concept [e.g they made their guys the worlds first hippies] im really wish i had someone to play with :(

[Admiralandrian]

@pessimistpojken Try with me! I'm a lousy DM though. But I incorporate rules for raep.

[whearp]

@reddorf Well, I can't recommend enough the new Red Box Starter Set as well as the new essentials core books. I've recently started a game using these new materials, and most of my players are completely new. Everyone is picking it up very quickly, and we're having a blast!

[Genkaiman]

Just remember that the rules should never get in the way of the story. As long as you're having fun, you're doing it right.

[reddorf]

Hi, I'm starting D&D and I'm getting the 4th edition and A Campain Book.

Any tips anyone on how to get started thanks

[blbrayan]

hes so boring but the game is fun

[sand4839]

now if only our DM wasnt currupt -.- (but he is the only offical one within an hour's drive and no one wants to meet in a non-public place {i understand that and i agree with them, but when u have been knowing them for +10 years it is diffrent}

[MrHenners12]

Really want to try D&D. I love RPG games.

[Prrrattooo]

@pessimistpojken Im 15 also. Love the game! Find some friends and have at it! if you have any questions feel free to ask!

[wiseman2131]

@PyschoGizmo Me too. Skype video chat...might work, but I'm not gonna experiment with it.

[PyschoGizmo]

I want to start playing Dungeons and Dragons but nobody I know wants to play it because they think it's nerdy.

[Fonchman]

You are so boring. You make DnD sound bad.

[1midman]

@pessimistpojken its better than online rpg games
