i've been playing tabletop RPGs off and on for two decades, mostly around the same group of misfits. got started on 2nd Edition (back when men were men and sheep were scared). at this point in time i'd rather spend two hours roleplaying our intrepid heroes defeating the local thugs in a multi-style dance battle then stabbing my way through yet another dungeon to get a +3 sword of gerbil slaying.
