i love chaos but have no one thats interested in a pen and paper d20 rpg does anyone know if this is possible to play by urself or do u need pther people

Like 99% of RPGs, you need at least 2 people (1 person to GM, 1 person to play), though preferably, you need 1 person to GM, and between 3 and 5 players.

okay thank you im new to d20 and never played one but with space marine am lookin into every warhammer game short of the tt as thats just too much money atm

The warhammer games are D10 based, not D20.

If you never played in a table top RPG check to see if your FLGS hosts D&D encounters. It's a great way to be introduced to how these games play. Encounters is very combat focused as opposed to Roleplay focused. But it dose give you a idea.

Well alot of vets hate 4th ed D&D, it's a great introdutory game for new players. It is also the best system for people who have never GM'ed before to learn. The whole game can be run with the dungonmaster guide, the 1st player handbook, and a D&D insider subscription.

If you don't have a FLGS to help introduce you to rhe bassics of table top RPG's then I'd sujest watching/listening to Lordkat's D&D streams.

My personal favorit was wyrmwick. It starts realy slow, but once they start getting out of the citiy and exploreing it picks up. This campign is one of the most role play focused they did, and alot of the player characters realy got into thier roles. Also... The fan favorit at the time had her eyeballs melted out of her face. So if your a fan of Warhammer40k, it has your daily dose of grimdark.

If you do try and start a gameing group and running these games, try to find someone realy familure with the lore to DM them. Thier is over 20 years of lore invested in the setting. PC's can no next to nothing about the setting, but if the GM can bring it to life and tell his own story, it will make or break the game.

Hoped this helped. It's 3AM at the time I'm posting this and redy for bed.

Check Redcap's Corner on 4040 Locust st.

I went to undergrad in Philadelphia so I know your pain well. This little place opened in my senior year so I'm sure it's still up and running.
