- iamgnat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Maybe the act of interacting with other people in person rather than over a computer?
Maybe that you have a rough guideline of what the world/people are like, but it is up to your imagination to flesh it out rather than being limited by someone else's view of the world?
Look at them as the stereotypical man's Poker Night. It gets you out of the house to hang out with some friends and have fun.
I far prefer P&P RPGs and table top war games to anything you can play on a computer (for the same "type" of game anyway). Sadly my groups broke up over the years for various reasons and the few times i've tried to find new ones i've been sadly disappointed with the maturity of the average gamer (though I guess I was just as bad when I was that young too) and being 32 i'm not interested in spending time with people half my age.
Personally, BSG would be a game that I wouldn't be too interested in as it is a fairly limited world (for my tastes). Now Serenity could be fun :)

What's bad news in the eyes of a Battlestar Galactica fan? Girls approaching them? - 5xSTUN, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5"What's so good about pen and paper rpg's?"
The same thing that's so good about making a boiling-hot pot of french-press coffee as opposed to letting a machine make it for me.
Yeah, maybe I'm old fashioned, old school, but I'll take a pen & paper RPG over a videogame just about any day of the week, because I'll remember the fun I had playing an RPG with a group of friends long after the memory of a videogame I've played has faded to a blur. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6I'll roll a d20 to seduce No. 6.

Ah heck, a critical fumble.
I'll roll a d20 to blast myself in the head.
20!
Oh yeah, that bitch is knocked right out of my mind! - Narwaffle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Starbuck > Kat. Starbuck with long hair, that is.
- dgolding, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Not if its Starbuck.
- Wolfman~K, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I'm a huge fan of these type games, its good to remmember that good pen and paper gaming systems sometimes lead to great video games as well.
- adml_shake, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Pfft, Kat was way hotter.
- saigumi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2So do I, seeing as how it is a pen and paper and not a lame MMORPG PC Game.
Isn't this the second time in 2 days this has hit the digg front page and people still think it's an MMO? - Gryffydd, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Mmmm coffee....Wait, what's this article about?
- idonthack, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1New lusers should head to the information center, through that link at the bottom. Pay no attention to the warnings from your virus scanner. It will all be over soon.
- tmwilkin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Well the card game apparently has been selling well and that provides a basis for the full out RPG game I suppose. Interestingly the paper and cards were all done in the battlestart paper with no right angles, you know the one were it looks like the corners were all cut off at 45 degree cuts.
- P5ycHo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Great, pen & paper.
At least you won't get any dropped frames on y'r 360 - rhinopig, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'd like to see a BSG Card game (preferably non-collectible but with a set of a few hundred cards) and/or Miniature game. Just so long as they (and this) have decent and innovative mechanics. Not the D20 system with BSG slapped on it (or Magic with BSG or whatever else).
- eddie72, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Yeah, now hopefully they don't turn this into a bogus MMORPG that has no substance.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I hope its something like the following:
Make it D100 like old "Runequest" games (if you don't know, dont ask),
and the air(or space combat) like old WWII "Avalon Hill" game where you plot each aircraft movement in private first on a paper, then both(or more) players show their movements, move the planes simultaneaously and depending on the aircrafts abilities, you may or may not have extra moves to make on your turn, such give you an advantage to strike, more movement movement, etc...
Yeap, they certainly don't make games like they used to... and unfortunately you can't find these old games anywhere anymore as the folks that bought the old company out, simply stopped making the games, or changed them to become a complete dumbed down version of the original. - TikiGawd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Cool! At least it not D20.
- josephz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0great idea, but sadly it wont sell much - those days have gone they way of rotary telephones and cassette tapes

surprise bag blog - Araxen, on 10/12/2007, -6/+2What's so good about pen and paper rpg's? I prefer video game rpg's myself. So to me it isn't good news.
- h4mx0r, on 10/12/2007, -7/+0I never had the opportunity to play pen-and-paper, only simulations of pen-paper games (not in the 3d form)
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -8/+1This should be far more exciting than watching paint dry, that is a given
- djruden, on 10/12/2007, -13/+2NERDS!
