I started playing D&D when I was about 13 or 14 (ie. a long time ago) with a bunch of (male) friends from school and I loved it from the start. We also used to play strategy stuff and large scale battle games, and I also got into painting the models for all of them. But I didn't get into computer RPGs until about 6 months ago, when I bought BG1 and was hooked. Before that I mostly played strategy games on my PC. I have learned from this board that I am not the only grown woman in the world to enjoy hacking trolls to bits, which is a bit of a relief!
I do have a life, and I am into other things, but when I need to unwind after work, BGII fits the bill. I don't know a single person who plays pen & paper RPGs which is a shame.
By the way, my boyfriend thinks that I am completely mad, as he is not into any kind of computer games at all - It was bad enough when I would disappear for a weekend to play Civilisation. I made the mistake of telling him about this board, and he gave me a very strange look!
Still, it takes all sorts, right?
