BG2 Players : Where are you all From?

Cloak · Post by **Cloak** » Sat May 26, 2001 12:39 pm

Ok peoples, I was just curious to know where you guys and gals are from. And how you got involved in RPGS

I am 25, male, and from the Island of Barbados in the West Indies ( I bet most of you are saying "where" now

)

I used to think role playing was for wierdos, but I went into a computer lab a few years back on campus and saw a friend of mine playing something he called a Mud.

I asked him what the hell he was doing. He told me and I tried it out (just to prove what a waste of time it was ), and was hooked ever since.

I'm 25 and from manila, and I don't know anyone who plays BG or BG2 here.

I first played RPG when I was in high school. I believe my first RPG was AD&D Secret of the Silver Blades. I could still remember the graphics "classic."

I am from the island of Singapore in south east asia. I only came to be interested in AD&D stuff recently.
The first rpg that I actually played would be Final Fantasy 3 by squaresoft. I have always been interested in fantasy stuff. hee...

I live in Clearwater, Florida, USA. I am 32 Years Old. I just started playing BG2 about 3 weeks ago, however, I am not new to RPG. I started playing AD&D when I was about 9-10 years old. In the early '80's. But, I haven't played since then. However, I have all the old (1st edition I suppose, since I've recently learned there is a 2nd Edition now) books (Players Manual, DM Guide, MM 1, MM2, Fiend Folio, Deities & Demigods) and the dice sets, etc.) I also have dozens of pewter figurines that I painted as a young kid that arre boxed away somewhere. I am really enjoying this game, and reliving some of my childhood in Role-playing. I love it.

Maybe you should play BG1 first so you can double the excitement. If you have not played it yet.

Hey everyone. Cool thread - it's pretty neat to see how spread out across the globe we all are, and yet still managed to find our way into this fantastic little forum...

As for me - 27 from Ottawa, Canada.
My first real experience with a roleplaying game would have to be Dungeon Master on the Atari ST. The horror... the horror...

No Europeans here?? Well, I´m from the north european countries

(18)

Are there truly other fantasy games except for BG2 that are worth "wasting your time on"?

There are some (new) Europeans on this board too!

I'm 20, and from Belgium. My first cRPGs were the Eye of the Beholder Series. AS for PnP, it was AD&D.
