Played a barbarian in 3.5. Used her to just grapple / choke / wrestle people down a lot. She lost her hand protecting an old man from thieves, turns out the old man was an accomplished weaponsmith. He grafted a very large flail to my wrist nub. I then went on to bash and smash and ruin everyone's day, although choking people with my left hand just wasnt the same.

Also played a sorcerer in pathfinder, which is basically 3.51, that was pretty cool.

I grew up on D&D. played 2nd since the young years moved into 3rd when it came out... grew a paladin. had pink platemail. me and my brothers' characters got so high level that we just had to retire them as gods. hohoho! Yeah little kids can't balance experience.

That stopped fer a while, then I played for a semester in college... I just wanted to minmax and play the game like a game... ya know, be the most badass motherfuckering rogue with hide skill x23 at level 6 who could do whatever the fuck I wanted... but everyone else was all roleplaying and shit! Most of the time I just sat there waiting for people to shut the fuck up, then I could attack something or roll a d20, get a 2, and successfully hide with a 25. Yeah so I stopped.

Wish I could play again. Like that norrath idea, I want to run a baldur's gate campaign with people who haven't played it. Yeah, it may be kinda unoriginal, but I tend to be really good with remakes and make them interesting.

I used to think 3.0 was the worst thing WoTC could possibly come up with. Then 4.0 came out.

3.0's not that bad, though its like the mmo industry, they dumb the shit down because future generations are being dumbed down

tbh THAC0 was pretty retarded.

DM: In the chest, you find a suit of chainmail.
Player: SWEET! I put it on!
DM: Ok. Mark down on your sheet -4ac.
Player: Wait, is it cursed?
DM: No no it's just normal chainmail, which is -4ac.
Player: What? chainmail is worse than wearing nothing?
DM: Er no no.. negative AC is good.
Player: ...what?

DM: You want a lower AC because it makes you harder you hit.
Player: Oh.. okay I guess. So with my 1 AC dexterity bonus and the chainmail, I have -5 AC?
DM: No you have 5 AC.
Player: Wait what? I thought you said to subtract 5?
DM: Your base AC is 10. You start subtracting down from there.
Player: Why does it start at 10?
DM: IT JUST DOES

(No hijack) but I'm wondering how many of you play Warhammer Fantasy as well?

I have played D&D since the orignal box set what 35+ years ago
I have played all editions except 4th and until recently have had the same group of friends to play with for over 25 years.
Now all 3 of my sons play with our group and they have brought their friends and we have out grown my 8 seater capts table and play in the garage where i put 2 picinic tables together. basicly me and one other guy do all the dm'ing and mostly him and i get begged to dm when they get tired of his solve it w/o clues style and want my hack and slash style.
It has been a logn and fun run but recently i have got kind of burnt out on it and have not been playing with the rest of the group but just sitting back chugging beers while they play

this is the one reason why i liked 3.0/3.5 more than ad&d. anyways ive played since i was 12 started with the old dungeons and dragon basic box set. anyone remember that? it came with cardboard monsters and characters and vinyl playing mat? one thing ive noticed with the fantasy games these days is that the are becoming less and less fantasy and more akin to sci-fi (eberron anyone?)
