Pen and Paper

This evening I was invited to participate some old fashioned pen and paper role playing.

It's been a while since I sat at a dining room table with a copy of the player's handbook by my side.  It was, I admit, a lot of fun.  It was fun to hold and roll dice, but I found that it was really fun to role play.  There's a certain quality to live role playing that's missing from computer games.  I think that it may be related to being surrounded by the audience at the table.

Maybe when we play Clan Lord, we should try using web cams so that we can read each other's reaction as we play.  That should be easy to do.

(Yeah, right.)
