Nobody under the age of 40 has ever played dungeon and dragon, gramps.

No, video games are, D&D just gave them an outlet to be more creative and break off the shackles of rigid programming in games.

Gary Gygax was a libertarian. But maybe.

I don't understand the stigma against D&D. Compared to things like anime and vidya D&D is a fundamentally social and creative game

D&D players are sad and pathetic.

If you take it seriously it's no better than anime, video games, super heros, or fantasy shit. If you and bunch of friends get together to drink beer and see how badly you can screw with the narrator guy then you're fine in my books.

Role Playing Games help people vet off their degeneration and some troubles. It does not do anything other than that, yes I know some people who play it too much for their own sake. But let's face it every activity has people whom can't stop doing it. Dungeons and Dragons became popular again in 2009 (When they released 5th Edition), so no I would argue it did not have enough time to influence them.

D and D is from the 70s,millenials come way after the onset of the game.
Secondly, D and D has racial difference and moral structure hard coded into the rules. The old AD and D rules even straight up limited the max strength of females to be lower than for males.
Old school D and D is pretty redpilled.

D&D is evil.

>>130318188
D&D was pretty harmless, i loved it growing up. It's completely pozzed to shit now, though.

Tabletop RPG players are some weird people. Today is actually free RPG day at many comic stores- they give away free RPG sample books.

I was there today, a bunch of overweight, white neckbeards. I only know a handful of players, less than a dozen, and TWO of them have gone on to become MTF transsexuals.

Extremist left winged views are very common among RPG gamers.

If it weren't for DnD, there would be no Elder Scrolls.

Ender Scrolls is more popular than tabletop RPGs these days though, so I would like Bethesda to release an Elder Scrolls tabletop RPG, to help tabletops make a come-back.
>>
>>130318188
No, not at all. Especially considering the majority of people who played DnD in their childhood were people like me who grew up in the 80's.
>>130320543
5th edition was released in 2014, I believe you're thinking of 4th edition. Either way, 2e is the best edetion. All others are corruptions of the original rules.
>>
>>130318466
I'm playing right now while browsing 4chan and having a blast, best game ever.

Check out roll20 for games if interested.

Tabletop games produce nerds, no argument there, but it flies under the radar of numales. No social capital in playing Necromunda, that's why /tg/ stuff hasn't been assimilated by cucks the way videogames have.

>>130318188
of course

I find it boring unless you actually care about interacting with the other players. It's more of a social game than anything else in particular.

im a former chad athlete that turned to computers after HS and i secretly always wanted to try out a game of DnD and tabletops

now i just go to Gnu conferences and Linux events and enjoy peoples reactions (le chad is aware of us!)to fufill this.

if the occasion presented itself i wouldnt refuse though

This.

Literally only learned how to play so I could troll the GM within the confines of the game. It was like winning an argument knowing you're in the wrong.

>official gamebooks calling everyone "she"
yeah no
>>
>>130318188
D&D fans tend to be all right, but there are some serious faggots out there, like at RPG.net

Now Magic the Gathering is filled with frustrated virgin nerds who turn to extreme feminism in the hopes of getting laid

1e w/THACO is better than 2e; they nerfed too many things in 2e. But 2e is better than everything that came after it.

You had a shitty GM, you would get shut down by anyone that knew half their shit lol.

Actually an interesting fact, look up the satanic panic and look who was pushing fundamentalist Christian's to attack the hobby. The whole ordeal was a big push to get what few hobbies and industries remained outside of Jewish control under their thumbs.

>>130323896
You can't shut me down for thinking outside of the box you faggot. That's the whole point of the game. I bet you flipped the table on bad rolls

I dont want to tell him either since he's a fantastic GM and actually very good otherwise and I have fun time every time.

I'm currently reading a book about Gygax called Empire of Imagination. Dude had a pretty sad life and had a very hard time dealing with his father's death. It played a big role in his need to escape into table top fantasy games.

DD is jewish propaganda. Search it

>>130319817
Yeah but once you get past that part it is quite fun. You just have to get over yourself and stop pretending you are cool and you will have a good time.

Also I smashed a girl I met at an RPG meetup. She was like a 5 but I could tolerate her presence without wanting to punch her, unlike most roasties.
>>
>>130321962
Oh shit you have a Necromunda gang? Do people still play that?

I made a gang out of imperial gaurdsmen (Cadians I think) and modeled them after the 90s militia movement.

Also had a redemptionist gang.

Good times.
>>

Had that book, complete First Edition set.
Mom threw it out along with my fantasy action figures because the radio man said it was Satan.
Never forgave this transgression.

I guess, but then again, they would probably find some other outlet to indulge in.
It's more of an overall society thing that makes groups appear and not individual details.
