Role-Playing Game Division


Role-Playing Games (RPGs) have been called everything from "a creative group-interactive experience allowing for the development of mind and body" to "the evil and mind-controlling works of Satan." That being said, I think that I'd have to put them somewhere inbetween those varied extremes. To me they're more or less a fun way to blow an afternoon exploring strange new worlds with a group of friends. Even so, they do somehow manage to teach creative problem solving, teamwork, and even a bit a humility at times. That, and such unique talents as how to bribe dragons and disarm nuclear devices while taking tea with an alien monarch... You never know when that will come in handy! It's sort of like reading a good book, acting in an impromptu play, and a group team-building exercise all rolled into one. Which is a pretty good gig if you can get it.

Caffiene, pizza, sugar, and good times is what it's all about.
Most games involve one person whom has created the story (the "scenario") that the others will travel through. Normally called the GM (Game Master), this person controls the universe that the game will take place in. Gaming worlds come in all shapes in sizes, from clasical fantasy settings to apocalyptic futures to far-flung planets with starships. Once the GM has picked a setting and thought up a scenario, the other players then create some of the people that will fill the stage of the play that they are creating together. The players each have a "character", a certain person in the world that they will portray during the course of the game. Each character has abilities, skills, and a history--just like real people. The better the player plays them, the farther they will go in the game. There is no script, you play the character as how they would react or behave in the given situation that the GM puts you in. In effect, you get to live in someone else's shoes for awhile. It's all pretty neat when you think about it.


One must have one's proper tools when gaming: dice, pencil, paper, dice, char sheet, clipboard, dice, caffiene, munchies, dice...


I'm currently involved in several concurrently-running games (see below). It gets a bit confusing at times, especially considering all the characters that I'm playing. Throw in a couple games a week and some nights you forget who you're supposed to be! It's fun though, to see how well you can be this other person for an evening... or a year.. or three.

In the past, I've played a number of different characters. As you can see, it gets pretty diverse sometimes! Take a look at some of the games I'm in--who knows, you might just like this sort of thing. Ed Was Here!
