Traditional Role Playing Games (NOT cRPG!)

So, I'm quite curious if there are any traditional ("paper and pencil") RPG players/storytellers/game masters in our quite unusual community

^ Awesome! Warhammer was my first rpg, we've been playing it for 6-7 years! Great dark fantasy game.

I played D&D once as a teen.  Some buddies and I got together and tried it.  As far as I can recall, we only did it the one time. 

I used to play Warhammer 40k like, once every few months maybe

I was thinking of pen and paper things though so I voted no before I read the posts here

I don't know, I just didn't really think of the whole Warhammer thing as an rpg, I guess.

I used to play a Scandinavian RPG called Drager og D�moner (the original Swedish title was something along the lines of Drakar och D�monar - Dragons and Demons in English). Although it appears to be a mere rip-off of Dungeons and Dragons, I think it is superior to Dungeons and Dragons, which I tried a couple of times, too, without enjoying it as much as Drager og D�moner.

I also played a bit of Sm�lfQuest / SmurfQuest, which was great fun, and I think I tried Shadow Run once, as well, playing a Arnie-like cyborg character.

I actually never read RPG-based literature. I read half a D&D novel once, but found it too boring to finish it. I've read a lot of Fighting Fantasy-stuff though, which I think is absolutely fantastic. I even have a couple of books with Steve Jackson and Ian Livinstone's autographs in them.

I remember drawing a complete map of the city in The City of Thieves and using it on one of our own Drager og D�moner scenarios :-)

Never did it.  Does it have to be an in person thing or are there online versions of it now?  I'm kinda interested in Warhammer 40k since there's been a ton of people going on about it.

But a few days ago, despite all my duties, I decided to write a scenario set in the roaring 20s in New York, and an idea of asking you about it came to my mind. So, do you know what RPGs are? Have you ever played one? And if so, which is your favourite? I think RPG is one of the best kinds of intellectual entertainment and a perfect way to spend time with other people. If you haven't tried it before, it's high time you do it! Here, check this Wikipedia article if you want to know more about the matter

I play the forum game Mafia, too, does that count?
