Hello all! I've just been sitting in the background reading for a month or so and thought to finally join. Thanks to Finster for first intoducing me to the site!

Welcome aboard, crybaby! I'm glad you've been enjoying the site enough to have watched it and finally join.

Where in Texas are you? There aren't a lot of EN Worlders down here. Eventhough Houston has the most people, most of them seem like they're in Austin or in small-town Texas.

Thanks jdvn1! I live in Dallas.

 

[Jdvn1]

Ah, there are some good gaming stores in Dallas. I have friends that frequent them from UTD, and the UTD area (those that graduated from UTD).

See you around the boards!

RPG addiction

hey guys, just wanna know what are the possible psychological effects of playing RPG? Cite the bad ones please...

 

[Jdvn1]

Hello lpsb! To my knowledge, there are no psychological effects of playing RPGs one way or another. It's just a game. What are the possible psychological effects of any game?

As for me, I was weird before I played RPGs and I'm still weird.

Umm ... you learn to socialize, solve problems, and express creativity. Don't know any bad ones.

Except those aren't effects specific to RPGs, I'd think. It is true, though.

Another old newbie

Not too much to say here. I am a 39yo gamer. Followed the regular path: played original and 1st edition and some 2nd edition when younger. Stopped playing. Got older, and got back into it.

Had two different but great gaming groups in the Detroit area. Now I am teaching English in Yemen. Don't think I'll find a table top group here, so I am getting a PbP game started.

I've been a fan of EN World since I returned to gaming but have never posted. Now that I am desperate for virtual gaming cohorts, I'll be posting regularly.

Any other gamers in Yemen??? :\
