Though I've never actually played D&D my opinion still is quite important, after all, I'm ArmageddonX! ANYWHO, what I CAN offer is this:

I have constantly been fascinated D&D, I never knew what it was. I always wanted to get into it. Earlier in my life when I was about 8 & 9 I started playing my first computer RPG games (obviously I'm not very old) with things like Moraff's World, Excelsior, Ultima, and a couple other ones I can't even remember. Kinda alleviated that D&D drive I had. I mean a game board, a deck of cards, and multi-sided dice don't get very far with me. Excuse me but true!

Hmm, maybe a bit of an explanation of D&D would be nice, since all I can imagine is a nearly strategicless, game that is exceptionally hard to start with no relation to speed and function control (such as the mouse or keyboard). This is NOT designed as a "bash D&D" entry. I just simply don't get it.

I seem to remember someone talking about some sort of D&D and creating your own items making sure they aren't unrealistic and stuff... seemed, just plain weird, oh well.

If any of you have played Revenant and have experienced the type of function control that that game offers you will understand my viewpoint thoroughly. What am I rambling about... I have no idea so I had better stop there.

P.S. A friend has recently offered to teach me how to play the new D&D though she doesn't know (yes she) exactly what a DM does.
