The other side of the screen

So, after running a nice 12-session arc of a 4e Eberron game last year, my group took a bit of a break from gaming but have been getting back to it of late. One of the players in the group has started a 4e Forgotten Realms game, and I'm really enjoying the opportunity to play the game for the first time as something other than the DM.

I'm playing a deva avenger based out of the Grey Vales, and so far the story has centered around that area. We just hit second level last week, and tonight's session will be the first to showcase our new leet skills. Or whatever.

The game is just as much fun to play as it is to DM, so that's a plus. What's even better is that the online tools (particularly the character builder and the compendium) are much farther along than they were when I was DMing Eberron, so the FR game is just that much better organized.

In the coming days, I'll post some stuff on my character in the the FR game in addition to my notes on getting my Eberron game ready for the next story arc.

To paraphrase Scotty from the new Trek movie, "I love this game. It's exciting!"
