I love the occasional light-touch "RPGs, but not just" kind of post.<br /><br />I agree with all points, especially the strongest - "not inventing the wheel" - statement. I personally have this notion that, someday, I ought to dig into management, stagecraft or psychology manuals and plumb their depths for group exercises that might translate into cool minigames/discrete rules/whole rule systems.<br /><br />Reminds me too of my perplexity upon learning that a friend's group had recently begun moving their table game online despite the fact that the whole gang lives within 15-20 mins. driving distance from each other.

We don't always play, but no matter what, we are brothers and sisters. We go camping, have cook-outs, go to funerals, we are there for one another. Need help moving? You bet! Something fantastic happen? Tell me about it. We play a cool game to hang out with each other, it's fun. We don't even really notice that the years are flying by.RipperXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03506064393275174920noreply@blogger.com
