I've also been a pen and paper roleplayer. It's not that we have abandoned it for good (many in the gang did however), but lack of interest grew up and even if one of us pulls something to direct, which is very rare by now, it won't last long, not even as intended usually.
We're four max, one lives 2,000 km away so it's a no 99 per cent of the time, and another may want to play but won't ever direct for the life of his. There's another, he's tired of everything we've played previously and when directing will frolic with a different game and setting every time. Incidentally he also kills all character at once eventually (with "eventually" I mean "real soon").
The other is me of course, I don't have much interest in fantasy and D&D-likes any longer either to be honest (but proper Tolkien is good if done right), my cup of tea is historical roleplaying.
Also I have problems with every existing gaming system. Actually I have devised a brand new homebrew system, it's not completely finished let alone tested, but I'll finish it one day and you'll be the first to know. In a couple of years I'll find a minute to devote to it.
