Don't know anything about D&D or the Forgotten realm.
Why play if I know nothing about them? - started playing computer RPGs back on the Sega MegaDrive (first one was Rings of Power)- that got me interested.
Play other types of games as well, such as the Delta Force series.
RPGs tend to involve more thinking than many other genres, and prove to be real value for money. Some are poorly written, others like BG2 (the best I've played) are excellent. BG2 seems to be more realistic (in the context of a fantasy world anyway) than the earlier ones on the Sega. I still think back to characters requiring a leaf from the 'Fluffi tree of Gomez'!!
Will I get round to reading any books? who knows?
I don't necessarily need to know the backgrounds, but I'm happy to learn about them. I know nothing about being a special Forces soldier, but still play Delta Force.
I suppose a lot of people like myself got the spark for the fantasy worlds by reading The Lord of the Rings and other Tolkien books.
