wolven7Social Distortion - [Ball and Chain]--- All roleplaying games have ever done for me, past and present, is give me ideas for things to look into, in my every-day life. D&D, got me into fantasy and sci-fi books, which lead to an interest in science, itself... Well, those were more concurrent. All fall down. More Tech, Gibson, Shadow Run, all cyclical. And each and every game has lead me to consider {or state to myself}: Where did they get this idea?{/I Know where thy got this idea.} And i search to the roots. And i work my knowledge into other games, and other characters.
I don't role play for escapism. I role play for knowledge and understanding...
Isn't that... Fitting.
Simply some thoughts, upon considering tonight's game of "When Darkness Comes," and looking over some gaming books and seeing attributes like "Truename," and so on. (Social Distortion - [Story of My Life]). Considerations of the kinds of people who make the games, coming from similar backgrounds, and so on... That being a slightly distrubing, and appropriate thing, on many levels...
Recently, i've had many people come to me for spiritual and metaphysical advice. Things concerning death, and after death, and how to be a balanced individual, in life, being able to care, not be too afraid to function, and not be complacent, all at the same time. And the odd thing is not that they are coming to me, for this-- though that freaks me out, because i'm in no better, and possibly a far worse, position than they, to be asking advice for these things-- it's that these questions, especially those of balance, change, and fear, come at a time when i, myself, am considering these very prospects, in my life. Things are flipping around, and i am trying to get used to them, again.
Social Distortion - [Hour of Darkness]--- Don't think i won't ask for advice, myself, ok? I just hope... Well, in this case, I Just Hope.
I'm out to do other stuff, and then sleep.
Dream Well
