These days, I do pen'n'paper RPGs over computer games.
Real live people do better story telling games than the limited options a computer programme can give you.

My brain can do better special effects than the XBOne.

I've been wanting to play RPGs for months now, been looking into Pathfinder and Dark Heresy
but apart from one other friend, nobody I know's interested

Elite: Dangerous is going to be fucking excellent.

just did a Google
that sounds like an ace game. Elite was a little before my time, but I've heard many an older gamer sing it's praises.

Elite was boss,
as was Frontier, it was like all of the things you always wished you could do in Elite, and now you could.

E:D is going to be like Frontier, but where the actions of every single player affects the galactic economy and political systems.
It's going to be fucking mental. Like a good version of Elite 3.

Go check out the "find gamers" thread on UK Role players
Be careful though - I always vetted forum gamers and the like with a few club-based games or pub-based games before I let them know where I live.

Before I came up with that ruse, we got stuck for two years with a guy who gave nerds a worse name than usual. Called my cat a slanty-eyed git (he was Siamese), and other borderline racist shit, as well as insulting my food (which he never contributed to), and - worst - dragging the game down.

I'll give that a look
in the meantime, any b3tans in the Manchester area fancy organizing a game?
