Okay, so why have I created a roleplaying blog?
I am a middle-aged guy (in my 40s) who used to roleplay (tabletop style) every week with his friends around 10-20 years ago. Then we call kinda settled down, and getting everybody together to abuse dice became much harder. Not to mention the fact that some fools had given the hobby up entirely, citing it as 'for kids'.
So, I began to roleplay online. MU*s were my thing back then. I worked shifts and had lots of spare time on my hands when the sites were most heavily populated (2 hours roleplaying a scene at 3am (GMT)? Sure!). Having no girlfriend made me sad, but gave me a lot of freedom when it came to arranging my life around my (then still very active) roleplaying hobby.
Then I found a girlfriend. No matter what some might say, that is a million times better than roleplaying. Sorry.
Even now I am a married father of one, I still have a little spare time, and I do miss roleplaying. So, I tend to do a bit of forum-based roleplaying and the odd few hours on my console.
Really, that has all given me some really broad-spectrum (if a little dated) experience of the roleplaying hobby in general. As such, I have decided to share my copious, but perhaps slightly outdated views on the subject with whatever roleplayers decide to read this blog.
Welcome.
