The starter set only gives you two armies: The Space Marines and the Orks.  The Orks are probably one of the worse armies in the game, whilst the Space Marines are the most boring.

Aren't there like a million different Space Marine chapters though?

I mean look at the Space Wolves.  They seem pretty badass.

Isn't Warhammer a table-top wargame?
There is a wargame called Warhammer Fantasy Battle and a role playing game called Warhammer Fantasy Role Play. We talked about the latter in this topic.

If there is a game store, then there must be a demand for the product.  Some game stores host introduction games and tournaments, so you are likely to find people around that will play.

However, Warhamemr is not all about the games.  Sure, that's the main part of it, but sometimes it is fun to spend a few months assembling and painting warriors only to display them proudly on your bass booster.

Ahh yes, now I remember, I played it a few times with my friends, looong time ago! But we actually played together, I mean in the same room, at a party I guess. So a bit like with the card game you've mentioned, with the rules more similar to the forum version though. When the night came we were simply turning off the lights and the mafia members were doing their job. That was fun!

Not exactly, but basically.  The games I play usually have themes, and the roles will vary depending on that.  The premise is that the mafia members kill in secret at night, and during the day the civilians try and figure out who did it, and lynch them.  Usually most players have other powers, too.  You'll have role-checks (detective), kill protects, etc.

The card game is just a simplified version, where you pass out cards and your role depends on what card it is.  Fewer powers.  Being real time and face-to-face makes it a lot different.

yes, I think it does. Is it about a city where every player impersonates different archetypes like policeman, detective, gangster, civilian and they keep it secret so that only the game master knows it and the whole game is turn-based?

I haven't heard about the card game though.

Some of my friends play D&D on a regular basis and I participate in them sometimes.

There are sessions played online on forums, skype or chats. Those on forums are a bit different though, there's more emphasis on narration and storytelling while the game mechanics doesn't really matter (they actually can't work).

I used to be a "regular" game master when I was in high school but as the studies are really absorbing, I play only occasionally these days. 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!

 
I used to be a RPG player 6 years ago, before University. Three weeks ago, me and my old friends of RPG (and some newbies) reunited for a one day quest. Lots of fun! Big smile
 
We utilize a brazilian system named Daemon.

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 :-)
