That's exactly what I thought before I started playing. Until my friends and I started playing together one day, because the internet wasn't working in the neighbourhood. Some of my freinds had a bit of background knowledge of how to play, but we made up alot as we went along. it was still fun though. I just downloaded a monster manual, because I too, love the lore, my friend bought one of the original monster manuals (very old), from a garage sale for $5. Now we are gonna actually try to start a campaign fresh with all the books and rules, and a bunch of quests. At firsts it just started out as 4 guys sitting in a room with some dice, pen, and paper, laughing our asses off, becuase we made soem kind of hillarious, absurd quest into the ghetto or something. Example: "Slay the pimp macking the bus station skank", or "Cap Masta B and his Dawgs, return the thugs smack."
But really, if you are tired of your computer and, with a few friends. Pull out the dice, pen and paper and prepare to not stop laughing. :D

Fuck 3.5. Fuck it all to hell.
I played 2nd edition for years and between our group we had over 2k in DnD books, dice and quests. Then third edition came out which would render all of my second edition stuff useless (except the dice of course) if we chose to switch to it. However 3rd edition was a vast improvment over 2nd edition in almost every way possible, so we switched and packed $2000 in crap away.
By now we've collected somewhere in the neighborhood of $1000 in books, quests and fingurines for 3rd edition and they release 3.5. I'll be damned if I'm tossing out my books again so that WotC can have some more of my damn money. Ever heard of Magic: The Gathering? Yeah don't buy 3.5 edition. I'm sure versions 4, 4.5, 5, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 etc will be coming out over the next few years :p

Slightly funny story... When I was in high school I had a teacher that was big into D&D and we organized a D&D "club" after school... Unannounced since it had a pretty big "dork factor" in high school...
Well she brought in all of her D&D books and told us to make a copy of them...
We were in the copier room every day for nearly a week copying for hours every day to make two copies of about 10 books, ~250 pages each...
Did you know toner smell makes you high when you are in a tiny room firing off thousands of copies? It sure does :D

I've been playing for 12 years now. Its a lot of fun and can really exercise the brain.
In all honesty though, its a great excuse for all of us to get together and most D&D sessions are just joke-fests that becomes bombarded with us bashing each other, etc.
Somewhere in there we get somewhere in the game. ;)
