I have a bit of an RPG addiction

Hello again internet,

I know, I know this page is called apachiie 40k, and this is not strictly 40k related... But what the heck


I was sitting at my apartment the other day pouring over a new character I had just rolled up for pathfinder... A drow fighter/Rogue.  I was looking through the equipment list trying to decide weather I should bring iron stakes or a flask of holy water with the last bit of space in my inventory when my girlfriend Paige walked in and said something to the effect of "you're addicted to RPG's now aren't you?" (She was joking of course, and is in fact very supportive of my hobbies).  This made me laugh but in all fairness I have to admit that I am.


I guess now would be a good time to state that this character isn't for an upcoming game, and I am almost always the GM'ing...  I rolled up a character purely because I wanted to do something RPG-related and we don't have a game planned this week to prep for.


Its interesting that I have finally caved and become so engrossed in role playing as I always swore that was something that was "too nerdy" when I was in high school.  A funny thought in retrospect seeing as I was playing Warhammer 40K on a weekly basis in my mom's basement.  So why did the appeal of tabletop RPG's finally hit me like the proverbial ton of bricks?  Because: College.  Its an easy way to forget about the stresses of grades and exams for an entire night without the hangover of getting belligerently drunk.  That's not to say no beer is involved in our game nights and that my friends and I don't still partake in the time honored tradition of bad decision making... but it is worth noting that RPG's really work in the college setting.

As a way to bring all your friends around to hang out for a few hours without getting bored, RPG's are unparalleled.  One of the biggest things I am going to miss about Pullman after the next few weeks is the fact that I can have a group of 5-6 people get together for an RPG night almost at a moments notice...  But college is swiftly coming to a close and things will get weird for a few months but I am confident that no matter where I end up I will always be able to find people to sit down for a good old fashioned dungeon crawl.

If you guys like me are Totally addicted to RPG's I have a few Youtube channels that you NEED to check out.  They are great and the content they put out is great.
