Why do you game?

Have you ever sat back and actually thought about why you game?

Do you game for the social environment? This factors into why I game as I enjoy the company of the group I game with and to be honest my kids even look forward to seeing the group show up on Sunday night. Of course this also creates some issues at bedtime. 🙂

Do you game so you can “flex” your “creative muscle?” Are you a GM who enjoys creating whole civilizations? Do you enjoy creating the host of characters that the party interacts with? Are you a player who looks forward to taking on the persona of your character and takes pride in the depth of the characters you create?

Do you game to “escape?” I’m not talking about escaping reality but escaping the day-to-day grind that so many folks find themselves in. You know, wake-up, work, sleep, repeat?

Maybe it’s a combination or something else entirely? I encourage you to post your thoughts on this.

Why you may ask? Simple, as I move forward with this blog I want to be sure I include topics that are relevant to those that are reading and not just want I want to post about.

So why do you game and what do you want to read more about?

May your dice roll well.
