Isn't that just like Skyrim played with paper and pencil and dice?

And make you make a character like a Level 47 Orc Wizard or some shit and roll the dice to see how many HP your magic took from the other guy?

what is the part of the game that is fun

I've never played it so I don't know and the picture looks like it's very technical and maybe a pain in the ass

Isn't D&D the same thing as Skyrim though? Why not play the computer game?

I tried to get into Skyrim but all this stuff about levels and classes and hit points and whether you'd rather be an org mage or a paladin knight or whatever was a bit too autistic so I went back to Doom.

Little known fact: "Doom" spelled backwards is gay loser.

None of that shit actually matters in Skyrim though

They're similar as far as a fantasy theme goes and going on quests, but pen and paper RPGs are more about collaborative story telling.

Like most things it's better when alcohol is involved.

@789,359 (I)
That was turned into a pen and paper RPG too.

I just end up drinking more than anybody else and being confused and asking questions about hit points and 'which of these fucking dice am I supposed to roll this time'
its like letting them play for me it's just. I don't think I can do it

It can seem a little daunting at first. My advice would be not to worry too much about the rules for now.

Still, a cheat sheet couldn't hurt to start with, or if you care to there are a bunch of tutorials and videos out there to help introduce new players to the game.

I rather play with fire with pals instead, something less being-on-ass-for-hours
