Or perhaps it would be better called an ascension. It's a bit long but bear with me.It started a few years back when I was staying overnight with my uncle. He had a lot of roleplaying books and I spent the whole night reading them. They were amazing, a whole new world that you could become a part of. That's where it really began.Soon I bought my own copies of the books. D&D version 3.0. I spent hours dreaming up new characters and I borrowed all the forgotten realms and dragonlance books from the library. I wasn't really in the world yet but I could see inside. That's all I really expected to do, I didn't know of anyone that played D&D in my area. I still don't.But then one day, while I was reading webcomics, I came across a link to these boards. It was a link to Sepulchraves story hour and, having nothing else to do, I read it. For a while I was immersed in the story, I could imagine being right next to those characters as they performed their epic quests. But then I got caught up. So being bored, I clicked on a link to a different story hour.I stayed that way for months. Reading all the great ones; Sepulchrave, PirateCat, Jonrog, the Old One. I liked them all but I wasn't really a part of them. Then I clicked a link that didn't go to a story hour, it went to a play-by-post game. I was amazed once again, this was the first time I'd actually seen a game in action. The revalation struck me, I didn't need to find people in my area to play, I could play online.I wasn't quite sure I was ready yet, but after reading a few more PbP's I decided to take the plunge. Now here I am. I'm in about a dozen different games on these and the M&M boards and am looking for more. I spend every spare moment switching between my games, looking for new posts to reply to. I am an addict.And I'm proud of it. Why? Because I'm meeting new people. I'm excersing my brain. I'm driven to be more outgoing. I'm becoming more creative. And I'm getting to be a better typer.So don't despair just because you are an addict. There is benefit to playing these games. Hold your head high and be proud you are an EN_Worlder.</blockquote>
