Geeking out on gaming.

Okay, so I admit it. I play D&D. Well, I've started playing part-time again. I've not bought any of the books, I've been mooching off a buddy and playing with his little group of geek-friends.

I remember it being better organized when I was the DM. Not that I haven't been having fun, but sometimes people get caught up in the rules and forget that it's for fun, not life and death. Regardless, it's been a nice stretch to the imagination which with all the technical writing I've been doing on papers for college, has been a great change. Today, after working out (yeah, not a geek thing, but I like being in shape a little) my buddy and I dug out a game system that I invented back in high school--Road Games, an apocalyptic game we based on Mad Max. I found out that it is still a pretty fun system, simple and fast, but I really need to organize the charts I made for it.

We had a good time playing, He's a really good character-actor and that always makes it fun. We've got a good storyline going and we're going to see if we can get a few more people interested in the game.

I think I'm going to revamp the system as I get time... It really has potential. My buddy is a better editor than I am, so he's hooked and going to help.

That's all for now, back to the real world.
