So I have started DMing one DnD 5E session on Roll20, and am playing in another. And, well, it's a lot of fun.
I would like to guage the interest in a Languish group to get together regularly for a RPG group on Roll20.
Personally, I would not mind trying a different system from DnD, just to check out another flavor. Maybe Pathfinder?
Anyway, is anyone else
1. Interested
2. Willing and able to dedicate themselves to playing say at least every other week?
And if so, is anyone interested in running it, and what opinions do people have about systems other than DnD and their implementation on Roll20? Or some other VTT I guess?
I'm all about it.
I've been a DM a few times, but not for an age and I would prefer not to do that part. I'm keen to show up and fight monsters/rescue Prince or Princess, vanquish evil doers.
Call of Cthulu is a lot of fun. I've not played 5e but played 1e endlessly and more recently Hackmaster, a 1e spoof.
My personal favourite is Runequest, by streets, but Bronze Age mystical weirdness isn't for everyone.
Assuming quarantine/Unemployment/general disaster continues obviously. If I go back to work next week I may not be able to commit.
I am running a Blades in the Dark campaign (and unfortunately do not have the time to commit to another TTRPG) but I heavily recommend the setting and the rules.
I'd be interested. I've played quite a lot of 5e on Roll20. And I've played almost every system under the sun, except pathfinder.

Blades in the dark sounds quite interesting, I ran a Dusk City Outlaws one shot that has a similar feel a few months ago.
The setting (a band of scoundrels in a corrupt city, more or less under quarantine...) has proven useful for my group of 30-40 somethings with families, distance, etc. It means players can come and go easily according to life circumstances
I would potentially be all over this.
But I suspect time zones will ruin it (for me). With pandemic we've relaxed bedtimes - my boys are in bed by 9pm MDT - which is 11pm EDT (for Berkie).
But I dunno - if it's once every other week, maybe I can convince Mrs B to take care of bedtimes. My tabletop RPD skills are pretty rusty though - mostly from 80s games (though I think I played every 80s RPG known to man), with a smattering of 90s games in university, and nothing since.
I'm interested. I'm currently in one game where we play via Skype now, but our meetings were sporadic in the best of times.
I am interested but I have not played a Pnp RPG since D&D 3rd edition.
Interested, but European.

Are you too nihilistically disdainful?
So, that's a few of us, when are we playing?
I would potentially jump in, but I am in two extent game groups meeting via Google chat right now. Any more and I would have to quit my job
I haven't seen anyone agree to DM yet, and we have not agreed on a system either.
I would vote for Pathfinder...
I would be happy to play whatever the majority decides on. Pathfinder, absolutely, I'm in.
I know nothing about pathfinder but I hear it is basically D&D so that works for me.

Pathfinder is like D&D, just with 10 times the amount of rules.
Now are we talking 1st or 2nd edition pathfinder?
I want to play a disgraced herbalist. A disgraced herbalist with a lot of debt and a vengeful former spouse. Wanted by the guild of herbalists from that one city where there was a misunderstanding about the efficacy of the plague curing elixir he or possibly she manufactured with those rare and expensive flowers seeds from distant mountains. This individual needs money, and will join any group of scoundrels for a fair shake at the proceeds of an endeavor, no matter how ill conceived.

Maybe he's thinking of AD&D being the 2nd version of D&D?

He could be thinking that, but that is not what people mean by 2nd edition. But since he has been out of the loop since 1984 that is understandable :P

Or 1989.
Going back and reminding myself of the various versions... I think the last version of D&D I played would have simultaneously have been the Blue Box D&D the most, though I think I dabbled in AD&D.
As we got into the 90s I purchased 2nd edition and some various books, but I didn't really play it anymore.
I think there was a mid-90s re-print of 2nd ed (kind of a 2.5) that I purchased as well.
But looking at the whole 3rd, 4th, 5th editions (and whatever Pathfinder is - a kind of open source D&D clone)... no experience whatsoever.
I started playing AD&D 2 Ed, which was the first edition that got a broad release in Spain. In high school I set up a regular gaming group and played 2.0, Player's Option, 3.0, 3.5 with them. We eventually moved to boardgames.
May have played AD&D like once or something. D&D was never very big in Sweden.
My introduction to tabletop rpgs was sitting in with my older brothers playing something called Sword and Sorcery! in about 1978 or 79. We graduated to 1st edition DnD, then Traveller, 1st edition Runequest ( I will always love you runequest)then Call of Cthulu and onto Games workshop by about 1985 or so at which point we collectively lost interest I think. I loved collecting and painting miniatures, Ral Partha, Citadel etc etc. I still have some :)
Ral Partha were miniature gods

Oh they were so beautiful. My brothers and I lost our minds over their figures. I have a few Ironwind Metals fantasy figures that I bought back in 2002 or something, those are good. But there's an extraordinary elegance and attention to detail about the sculpture work in all the Ral Partha figures.

Yeah.
Things did get confusing when WOTC turned 3rd edition AD&D into 3rd edition D&D and everybody just kind of forgot D&D ever existed as a separate game.
No I think it was confusing right from the beginning when TSR marketed two different versions of what was basically the same game.
