[QUOTE="GrimCo, post: 9523273, member: 7044462"] First and foremost, it's hanging out in person with my friends. For those 3-4 hours, we unwind and act as kids again, playing the game, spewing cheesy one liners and bad puns. It recharges batteries. Also, it's therapeutic on some level to get away from being responsible grown adult and just hang out with the boys. It recharges batteries in a manner of speaking. Second, it's my creative outlet. Love writing, creating lore, characters, making maps and minis. Most of all, i like story telling. It reminds me of childhood and my late grandpa who was excellent improvisational story teller. Now i get to do it with my friends. Third, open end with no clear victory condition. Unlike board games, with clear end game goal, rpgs are open ended. You start with set parameters and then game and players choices take over. Even if you defeat bbeg, story doesn't need to end. Also, it's not competitive. There isn't a winner in rpg. You "win" the game by having fun. [/QUOTE]
