I agree. I went more than a decade before I realized I could continue to tabletop again. How many of us *sneeze*-something year-olds have friends nearby that can play. I feel like I'm 16 again. Also I think the success of has created a resurgence... I don't know if there is a correlation or not.

Apparently there was a single word in that description I didn't read. Well, then that makes more sense.

I'm confused about 5E, you get starting equipment and also starting gold from your background. THEN you get a starting gold table following that. I've had to strike the third option from my game because players were using it as well.

Great post, you should expand this into a blog.

Write very day and for a minimum word count, never deviate from that. Even if you don't feel like it. I find that writers that wait for inspiration never write. Sometimes, writing is just plain work. Sometimes it isn't!
