But what I consider to be my REAL RPG milestones are all achievements related to actually playing the game. Siting down and playing the game is what is all about IMHO, and that sometimes gets lost in endless message board discussions.I've played with a lot of wonderful people and ran a lot of wonderful campaigns. I brought up political themes (the one-sided distribution of wealth on an old established empire), set up massive hex crawls (running one right now, its a lot of work but totally worth it) and ran exciting set piece encounters (like the climax of a pirate-inspired campaign that saw them battling a lich atop a glacier while skeleton workers tried to awaken a mighty leviathan by digging on the ice!).THOSE are the things I remember the most fondly... not the time amazon delivered some book to my house.I don't think that spending money should be the ends, its only the means (and only sometimes). Boasting about how much money you spend on your hobby is a bit pointless and shallow to me.</blockquote>
