Getting a "base" of gaming books to begin with is fine from the sounds of things. However, I shall provide you with two warnings that from the blush of things seem not to apply.A member on these boards about half a year ago found themselves playing too often to escape what seemed a difficult time in his marriage. When you find yourself lying to your loved ones about your gaming "habit"; it is then that you know you are going too far. Fortunately, that member with advice from the board took a step back from gaming to sort those personal things out. He has not been back since but I look forward to him hopefully returning once again and wish him well if his return is not to be.The second is one a little closer to me and in fact something I have not yet discussed online or on this forum. A dear member of my gaming group took his life one month ago. It was not the first time he had tried but it still took us all by surprise and has affected everyone in my group deeply (we have not yet played a game since but have plans to reunite in a couple of weeks). In the end, I think life was too hard for him, despite the genuine affection that our group had for him, it was not enough. He could get easily depressed although he would never show it. He was always smiling. Unfortunately, gaming and WoW and other such things were his escape from his life.May you truly rest in peace Juz.Now, the point of this is that gaming is almost always never the problem, but it can be a symptom. With this on board, I think you should feel comfortable with what you are doing. It sounds like you have found the greatest hobby in the world and I bid you welcome. There are many great people on these boards and I hope you afford yourself the opportunity to meet them over the coming months and years.Best Regards and Welcome once again,Herremann the Wise</blockquote>
