So for the first time in a long while I've tried to get back into online roleplaying. Used to love it, but for a while it was kind of a chore. I started back up by questioning why I should even bother anymore since I didn't feel like it was time well spent. If I think what I have to offer is interesting to someone or maybe a little inspiring, then I can really get behind playing a character. If I feel like all I am doing is taking up space, then I get kind of depressed about the whole thing. I'm not sure if I'm actually contributing anything that anyone cares about, but it feels nice to sit down and write again.
Other than that I've been working on my two D&D games. The low-level game that Jen, John, Lol and Steven are playing in is still something I greatly enjoy. Just wish we could get the game together more often than once every couple of months. My epic game continues to be a struggle to run for me. I like the players as people, but when it comes to the fact that they are so invested in these characters it makes it really difficult to run for them. Especially when I have players who have been raised within this hobby with some bad habbits. Such as treating the magic item sections of the books like a grocery list, and assuming there is nothing wrong with the idea of getting major artifacts with very little searching. I feel it's in the higher levels that these games truly start to fall apart, and I don't know where the problem is. My running style? I don't know.
