Back in the day, a friend of mine had a book, some papers, and some dice and asked me if I wanted to play Robotech. That was how it started. I play roleplaying games. I’ve been playing them for over ten years at this point. To date, the games I’ve played are:
Robotech
D&D
AD&D
D&D3
Star Wars
Rolemaster
Chill
Amber
In Nomine
Vampire
Werewolf
Ars Magica
Teenagers From Outer Space
Call of Cthulu
Swordspoint
and
Cyberpunk
I can’t seem to remember any more at this point, but you get the general idea. I love this shit. I’ve played an alcoholic Irish priest in the 30’s, an Austrian guitarist vampire living in San Francisco, a twisted wizard named Zerid, and even the Demon of Stoner Ideas. I’ve been shot, stabbed, crucified, possessed, burned… you get the picture.
Lately I’ve been playing Vampire and Werewolf, run by my boy Justin. Vampire is on hold, and has been for a bit over a year. Werewolf has been the game of late, and my boy Phil is also involved. We’d played together back in the day in Rolemaster, and several other games.
I ran into Justin last night. He’s been busy writing (him being a writer I guess you could call it work), and he said that game will be starting again soon.
My character in this game is named Jimmy Ryan. He used to play baseball in high school until he got hit in the temple by the ball. Now he lives in the sticks, and is a werewolf. I’ve grown to like him, and yearn to play him some more. More soon after game has happened.
And, yes, I know I’m a dork.
