[QUOTE="Kichwas, post: 93742, member: 891"] Other: I enjoy making fictional worlds and then bringing them to life. Don't get anything out of combat. Don't get anything out of being in charge. No problems with dating (does anyone actually really use this one?) or other social issues. Enjoy the roleplay but not as much as bringing the worlds to life. If this were the 30's and 40's I'd probably be joining up with whatever group of people Tolkien and later Marr Barker (sp?) came out of and working on the whole linguist angle just so I could get an excuse to make up 'fairy tale worlds'. Sometimes I suspect roleplaying actually stunts my creativity by giving it an easy out. If Tolkien had been a gamer Middle Earth might not have been seen by anyone beyond his players. Not that I have that level of dedication; but I wonder if I or any other world-maker DMs would have if I didn't have a quick fix to rely on. [/QUOTE]
