Why Game?

[GeorgeFields]

It's fun, there is no real deep dark secret here. Life can be complicatd, and that why you need a little fun in your life.

Agreed 100% Also, it's something I've been doing since 1980 and has helped me keep my sanity through rough times.

Because I like to play God.

 

[Agamon]

Why?

Why not?

...oh, no wait...

Because.

Seriously, I don't want to, my players make me by threatening to skin my cat.

Okay, that's not true. I don't have a cat.

Gaming is the best way to let the slavering beast out that is my imagination. Its great fun and it gives me a sense of accomplishment.

 

[LordBOB]

well i have such a vivid imagination that if i didnt feed it D&D.......... my head would explode! And its much easier for me to visualise my Paladin Smitting Evil than the other people i know. That and it gives me something to think about when i dont have anything else to do. I am a true "thinker" and i always need something to go over and over and over and over and over or ill go crazy, sit in the corner of my bedroom, cry, and go insane untill someone says something that makes me think

I game because it makes me feel good

I mostly just do it to attract women.

Heh heh. Chicks love gamers.

It's fun. It's a creative outlet. It's social. It let's me play with adults. It let's me play with my kids. But the number one reason...


It ticks off the wife!

So, why game?

'Cause I've been doing it for 31 years, and see no reason to stop.

Or is it something deeper, perhaps an attempt to recapture some elusive childhood magic?

No, thank God.

A rare creative outlet in an increasingly pragmatic world?

I do not need an rpg to be my therapist.

Just plain fun?

Yes. Like hockey.
