schneidend ONLINE (12/14/2015) [-] What I'm saying is, you have more freedom, but you're typically still limited in many ways by rules that lay out more or less exactly what you can and can't do, and what your GM thinks your character should reasonably be capable of. In that sense, a given campaign is not all THAT much more free than a sandbox RPG video game.

In that case you're still limited, but in terms of story, character interaction, and variety of what you can play there's no comparison between vidya and tabletop

schneidend ONLINE (12/14/2015) [-] I think we're kind of talking about two different things, here. I'm talking about after you've already chosen a rule set, chosen/created a setting, rolled a character, etc. Once you lay down the ground rules, what everything and everybody is and does, all standard game development decisions, the field narrows quite a bit. Yes, if you take into account every rule set and possible combination of character/race/feat/talent/skill/perk/aspect, etc., tabletop is infinitely more variable. But, once you've established some things, things obviously become more concrete and immutable.

jimmydeeftp (12/14/2015) [-] They need to create something to easily play dnd online with people. I've always wanted to play, but nobody nearby does. It appears to be a common dilemma.

jimmydeeftp (12/14/2015) [-] Thank you good sir. Since you're being so helpful, what's the best edition of DnD to play? I've only played baldur's gate before.

limeliight [OP](12/14/2015) [-] The BEST one to play is a hard question. The easiest is the newest one I think (5th Edition). The most popular one was by far 3.5

jimmydeeftp (12/14/2015) [-] Then I shall play 3.5, for I am no pussy! Thank you for your very helpful advice. We should play together some time, should fate permit.

satansferret ONLINE (12/14/2015) [-] There is a rule for EVERYTHING in 3.5 just fyi. Enjoy research.

zomaru ONLINE (12/14/2015) [-] Every time these are made, it makes me sad to say I may never play D&D again.
Someone on Fj should really get some people together.

goddamnwizard (12/14/2015) [-] I'm rolling up an aasimar character for pathfinder at the moment. Trying my best to have an angel blooded character not be an edgelord. So far I've given him a healthy, alive family, and made his class sorcerer, and keyed his non combat skills toward diplomacy. I think I've done relatively alright

buttlumps (12/14/2015) [-] I've always wanted to play DND, but it always seemed so complicated to me Is it actually as advanced as the videos i've seen on the internet make it out to be?

limeliight [OP](12/14/2015) [-] Depends on the system you're playing. The New DnD isn't that hard to start playing.
