D&D:  So what do you think about these people who can't role play right?
TCRP:  I think they're what the "ignore" button is for.
D&D:  I know the feeling since I have been role playing since I was 8 and now that I'm 22 i feel like everyone that role plays in the IM's and chatrooms don't know what they are doing.
TCRP:  Did you start on D&D?
D&D:  Yes and AD&D
TCRP:  ~nods~  I really hate that stupid system.
D&D:  I love the old one.
D&D:  Than I got into Werewolf and Vampire.
TCRP:  ~shakes her head~  My GM and I *always* use handcrafted systems.  We put our heads together and it takes us about a week to come up with one, but it's always worth it.
D&D:  When I come up with a Story line it comes to me in matter of minutes.
D&D:  I have written books from the story lines and role plays. I have a total of 30 books made but not publish.
TCRP:  .....I didn't say story line.  I said system.
TCRP:  ......You know, dice, character sheets, combat rolls......
D&D:  Rules that you made up?
D&D:  ok
TCRP:  Yes.  A system.
TCRP:  Stats and whatnot.
D&D:  When we role played i took out almost all the rules.
TCRP:  You *cannot* run a decent campaign freeform.
TCRP:  Not TT or LARP anyhow.
D&D:  LARP is awesome.
TCRP:  It needs a system.
D&D:  AD&D and D&D have a basic system. 
TCRP:  AD&D's syst is not basic, it's overly complicated and stupid.  I hate their stats.
TCRP:  I'm not too fond of their CS either.
D&D:  Without a Character Sheet you don't know where someone is at in items, weapons, armor, and stats.
TCRP:  CS = Combat System.
TCRP:  And their character sheet really isn't very good either, now that you mention it.
D&D:  It needs more work.
TCRP:  Yes, you have to *have* a character sheet, but theirs is *way* too dice based.
TCRP:  We always have a Stats Sheet and a Persona Sheet.
D&D:  Good to know and to have.
D&D:  What do you think about the card games like Magic: The Gathering and etc.
D&D:  ?
TCRP:  Don't play 'em.
TCRP:  Don't really have any interest in playing 'em.
TCRP:  My GM has probably $5,000 worth of Magic Cards and it just worries me.
D&D:  They are more harder to understand.
TCRP:  "More harder" is incorrect grammar.
TCRP:  And it's really not all that complicated.  A few of the gamers I RP with taught me the basics in an afternoon while they were playing.
D&D:  I have a habit of putting or not putting a word where it should or shouldn't belong.
TCRP:  Aha.
TCRP:  Well, two comparative words never go together like that.
D&D:  So shoot me since we have people that are using slang and other crap in the English language.
TCRP:  That's not slang.
D&D:  No one is perfect.
TCRP:  I didn't say anyone has to be.
D&D:  So tell me where do you have your story lines take place and what time period?
TCRP:  It depends.  Just pretty much any time any place.
TCRP:  Could you not IM me for a few minutes?  I'm trying to get a damned pic to print and it really doesn't want to.
