Today, July 18, 2023 marks 14 years of this blog.

I deleted the first rambling attempt at a post and just want to note this milestone and say that I’m still here and will continue to post as I have new things to say.

Until my next post, be kind, be supportive, be encouraging, help new people get into gaming.

Remember that games are supposed to be fun for all at the table and are a great way to bring people together, find new friends, and make memories.

It’s OK to step away from those who don’t have that attitude.

We’re coming up on the 50th anniversary of D&D in January, 2024, and I’ll be celebrating 46 years of playing D&D later in the year.

D&D isn’t the only RPG. You don’t need levels, complex rules, or even dice to play RPGs. You don’t need combat, there is an element of story in all RPGs, you can roleplay at the level you are comfortable.

Any age can enjoy RPGs and there is an RPG for every genre and style of play.

Virtual Table Tops, like Roll20 or Fantasy Grounds, can help find people to game with online, if you can’t find an in person group.

I prefer in-person play, but it isn’t as easy to find that for all of us, so online play fills that need.

Be patient. If you don’t find a group that suits you, keep trying.

There’s even solo gaming if you want to try out something different.

Until next time – Game On!
