August already! I'd seen when you posted...GAH!! August already! I'd seen when you posted the questions last week and had through about them and tried to start coming up with some responses and then promptly forgot about them all until this morning. I didn't get much response on my own blog last year, so I'm probably just going to post them on a Facebook group I run for the friends I actually game with and maybe I'll share those here as well (hope that's okay!?)... <br /><br />For me... I guess I love the creativity involved... escape into flights of fantasy... an outlet for my imagination - more so that just regular board gaming (which I tend to do more of these days...).<br /><br />Also the social aspect. Through role-playing games I have met most of my dearest and oldest friends. I don't really I go out for beers to meet up and catch up with people, but I can sometimes get them together for a game or two (though, again, it's more often board games these days).<br /><br />The miniatures... I love miniatures. It was actually the miniatures that drew me into Dungeons & Dragons. I love painting and collecting and imagining the stories behind them and the adventure they might partake on (even if I never actually ever get to use them in the game).<br />In my mind I often include miniature gaming in with role-playing. I've never been a "competitive" miniature gamer and always kind of saw it as role-playing on a (usually) grander scale... the narrative of the scenario being played was more interesting than winning or losing.timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.com
