To answer the question as to why I haven't played, there really isn't one reason. Basically after high school we all sort of drifted apart, or moved away and lost touch. I've thought about going to a game store on DnD night but I feel awkward doing so. And I'm not talking about social anxiety either; just the idea of barging in on a group of strangers to play seems... weird, I guess? Also the more modern games and rule systems are so heavily focused on precise detailed combat and miniatures. Can't I just hit the orc with my sword? And if I wanted to play with minis, I would just play Warhammer. I also work alot, so when I have free time I spend it with my kids, or home with my wife. I've tried getting them to play RPGs, but it hasn't stuck. I bought the Pathfinder beginner box and we tried that; it was pretty much a disaster. (And I hated the rules anyways). I was never good at being a DM so I'm sure that has a lot to do with it. I don't really know where to begin. Or maybe they were too young when I tried. I honestly think they would enjoy it if they were properly introduced. But I'm rambling now.Anyways, keep the ideas coming.</blockquote>
