I’m going to try and take part
in the #RPGaDay writing prompts for 2021. The idea is there’s a prompt every
day that asks you to write about something in RPG’s you really like. There are
a couple of alternate prompts offered but I’m going to try and do the main one
every day. If you want to try it yourself, you can head here for the calendar
for this year.
My
first memory of playing a role play game was the old red box D&D. It was a
present for my birthday. I was 9 or 10 and my mom found it. I’d never heard of
Dungeons & Dragons. I don’t know where she heard about it or saw it but she
knew I liked fantasy and she wanted me to read more. D&D offered both of
those things.
I didn’t
go well. My friends, my brother, and I tried to play in the back yard but we
didn’t really click with how the game worked. We were so bad at it that even
though I was the dungeon master I we were all looking over the module to figure
out what was going on.
This
led to other things. I found hobby board games and miniature gaming from this.
I met friends I still talk to today. I eventually found my way back to RPG’s. I
came back to Palladium and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I floated around there
for a while before finding my way back to D&D. There were other games; many
I’ve talked about this month.
But I
still think back to sitting in the grass in my back yard. My friends gathered
around and us trying to figure out what to do next.
I’ll
be back tomorrow talking about translate…maybe.
Until
then, stay safe and be well.
