I like D&D
20% Normal
18 Comments

I'm 35 years old and love Dungeons And Dragons ever since I was a kid. But I've never actually played with a group of people. Just one time when I first started and a couple of times with one person and a few times with some nephews of my girlfriend. I want to write DND adventures and rule books but I cna barely write a page of ideas before I get bored, let a lone a whole book. I also don't have a job and live off my girlfriend for 15 years. Is it normal to love DND and not have any friends to play it with for your whole life?
Do you think it's normal?

Okay, first of all, I have a very good friend who writes RPG adventures for a living. It's not great money, but he loves doing it. He's been published by a number of different RPGs, some of them quite famous. If that's your passion, go after it! It's better than doing nothing.

If you get bored quickly, I would start by writing short adventures, or set small goals for how much you're going to do in a day.

Furthermore, I think it is very normal to love D&D and not have any other friends around to do it. In college, I was able to play a lot of RPGs, but only because I was around a lot of like-minded people. Without like-minded people, you can't start a group.

You should actively seek out D&D games in your region. Some groups even advertise online. If not, you could advertise online that you would like to start up such a group in your area.

Whatever happens, I want emphasize that this is all going to require some *active* effort on your part to make connections. Nothing's gonna happen for you--you've got to make it happen yourself!

Lots of video game designers are now looking to hire GMs as writers and developers. You might want to think about getting some ideas togetter and trying to do a pitch. I bet you could find more infor about it online.
Have you tried that?
This HAS to be fake. Surely.
I agree with the suggestion above about actively searching out local D&D groups to become involved with. But it seems that you want to be a Dungeon Master, and usually groups that are already formed that you'll find will already have a DM. I'd suggest you play for a while as a player character before trying to DM a group yourself. Experiencing how other DMs work their magic should be able to inspire you and give you some ideas for your own adventures. If once you start writing adventures again, you still have the same problem where you write a page and then get bored or stuck, don't worry. I've been a Dungeon Master for various different groups of people, and have played out dozens of D&D campaigns over the past 10 years, and I've always started the same way: Write just the first page or two of information, and keep whatever else you may be thinking about in your imagination. Start the game, and once you run out of notes to back what you're saying, just wing it; most of the time, the players will do or say something that will end up giving you a great idea for a direction to go with the game that you couldn't have thought about by yourself. Gamers love D&D because of its incredible open-endedness. That's why its never good to plan too far in advance, as a DM: because you always run the chance of the game going in a completely different direction, based on the actions of the players. Well, thats about all the advice I have to give. Good luck, and just have fun with it.

I wish I wrote alone instead of a lone and I spelled can cna.
k, first off....you are a dork. Not for being 35 and into D & D, but for not having some kind of income and living off you girl friend. I think that sux. People, you cannot use girlfriends, significant others, what not to take care of you if you are capable of doing it yourself. If you are handicapped or mentaly retarted I appoligize, but you didnt mention this in your statement. First, get a f u c k i n g JOB!!!! Believe it or not, women are attracted to men that take care of their own buisness. That way you can take care of hers when she needs you, and vise versa....but not for 15 years!!!! Then, when you have some kind of gig, persue your passion, with a passion. Meaning, bordom is not an option. If you get bored easily, maybe it is not what you are meant to do. Damn! This one really pisses me off!!!!!
All role players seem to have "girlfriends" I don't have a girlfriend. If I play D&D will I be able to conjure a damsel in distress who I can save and she will reard me with access to her loins?
Get a job you loser, come work with me out at the beach resort. My boss is a fat fuk but atleast Im there with my buds, and LISA....mmm LISA, I love to jerk off and think of LISA mmmmm
Shut up Screech you punk, You know we have no openings at the resort. Now get down to the basement so we can have band practice, oh and dont disturb Jessie and me while we bang down there, and tell Carosi that I said he can get his own volleyballs and to go fuck himself
