Typical take – roleplaying can make new friendships and deepen old one.
Additional typical take – you don’t need to be friends with everyone you game with, nor should you necessarily game with all of your friends. See the Geek Social Fallacies for reference.
If there’s something I have a problem with – its focus. I am constantly starting new projects, writing dungeons, hacking rulesets. Very rarely do I actually finish any of them.
Hell, the sparseness of this blog over the past two years should be indication of this.
I am not sure the best way to go about acquiring more focus, but it is definitely something I would like to improve upon.
Missed this during GenCon and while training, but I definitely want in on it.
So the word obscure is pretty close to my heart. Maybe its my inner hipster, but I just love things that are hidden gems – games, modules, music, stories, pretty much anything.
I think this is obvious by my collection of rpgs. While I try to be omnivorous, I absolutely love looking through things like Game Chef, the 200 word rpg contest, those kinds of things for fun games.
While not the most obscure, I’d like to highlight one of those games I found, one that I think can be relevant to OSR gamers and story gamers alike: Fuck, It’s Dracula!
