I was digging around in a cabinet I hadn't probably opened in years and years. I'm thinking about selling my townhouse and trying to move a bit upmarket since prices are good, and its got me doing a bit of house cleaning. I digress.
What did I find in said cabinet? A veritable treasure trove of old RPGs. Yep, a bunch of Shadowrun stuff, some Torg, and a good stack of GURPS, and some other pieces and parts. It was so much fun to flip through the pages and revel in a lot of old gamer memories. I can't remember the last time I actually played an RPG. It has been at least a decade, maybe more. I continued to buy RPG stuff that caught my eye even after I stopped playing since many of them are almost like buying a mini-novel in a way. That little trip down memory lane really made me miss playing, though I am not sure if I could get into it as much as I used to, but maybe I could. Finding the time to do it is one challenge, and getting a group together is likely to be an even bigger challenge since walking into a group of unknown gamers is not something I am likely to do and I tend to run the game instead of be a player.
So with the sad realization that I would probably never RPG again, what did I do?????
I read a few pages here and there from the various games, put the books back, closed the cabinet, and will plan on digging back in there for another nostalgia trip in a couple of days......
