Hi! New here. Heres the last D&D game I played.
Kevin Vito:
The youngest player was 18, the oldest player was 25.
If I do another game, I will definately have Richard, Megan, and Eric as they were the ones who seemed most into it and I talk to them often. I'd prefer to have one more player though. If Nathan and those other two girls want to play they can, but they did seem like they were just hanging out.

Hi,
You don't seem to have much respect for them liking world of warcraft? Basically your D&D campaign and WoW are equal - they are two options your friends can choose from. But you say they 'just' want to play wow. Even if they choose to play your game, this isn't going to go well because if they choose to use rules in it you don't approve of, then you'll be just as dismissive of their choice. It's the same way Richard didn't care much for what you would decide about your PC's backstory. Basically if you satisfy your urge to pull them away from their choice (WoW), that urge will come up in play and you'll want to pull them away from their choices in play as well. Roleplay is like a fine meal compared to the junk food that is WoW, but their both food. If you can't respect the food your friends decide to eat, even if they come to a resteraunt with you, you'll end up ordering for them. If you get my analogy.
With the girls - dude, if some guy came to the game, but then pulled a gun and demanded your wallets, would you go 'Ah, perhaps we should have more cops and robbers in the next game'? The girls were there to pick up guys, or be admired for their 'bad girl' pseudo lesbian antics. That was it, dude! They wont care a jot about sex magic.
Kevin Vito:
You bring up some good points, Callan.
In my defense though, these friends do keep pressuring me to play WoW even when I explain to them that I can't afford it. You are right about respecting their choices I guess, it's just that when we played D&D and MtG and things like that at least we were hanging out. Whenever I go to Richard's apartment he's too busy playing WoW to talk to me; he just zones out.
Maybe I should just go with option 2 up there and find some new people to play D&D with.

Table-top RPGs off soooo much more than WOW or any MMORPG. But then, WOW can offer more than table-tops in areas of imagery, speed of combat, and the stuff computers do better than us.
Remember the things table-top games can offer that MMORPGs can't. Unique stories, extensive role-playing,and freedom of choice. These might be good areas to focus on in getting players interested, and then within the game as well.

Hi Chrono,
Do you do any other activities with Richard? Even just sitting around watching DVD's and chatting a bit?
