a fortunate draw from the Deck of Many Things™
A couple of weeks back, I learned with some sadness that my regular Monday night RPG session was coming to an end, due to both GM work schedules and the encroaching profitability of Magic: The Gathering tournaments.
However, within the last 72 hours, I have managed to find myself invited two join TWO different intermittent floating weekend games.
This makes me happy, because I love rolling some dice with fun and interesting people, and that the two groups present two very different demographics. This afternoon, I spent a couple of hours playing a very Pratchett-esque Witchfinder cleric in a GURPS game with a very experienced group of convention friends – it’s a very silly, but educational and creative environment, and I think I’ll learn quite a bit.
If the other group gets off the ground, I’ll be almost certainly the most experienced player at the table, which is fun in it’s own way, because I get to share this hobby of mine with new folks, and watch them exercise their creative muscles and start to let go and really inhabit the characters they’ve built and revel in creating a shared story with a bunch of other people.
I can tell you, I am really looking forward to it.
