Good lord. Now I'm studying the UK side of the hobby. My whole experience with that was White Dwarf and Fiend Folio. There is so much more.<br /><br />Always do what your heart and gut tell you to do, but I hope you continue to find the joy of discovery in this crazy hobby everyday the same as myself. Cause honestly...I'm having a blast :)xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17814063435676111475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7552783300752163646.post-46724180179640997152010-11-05T13:25:43.261-04:002010-11-05T13:25:43.261-04:00Looking into the supplements and figuring out what...Looking into the supplements and figuring out what is a good addition and what is not, and why, might be useful.T.

New hobbies, new discussions, move from rules discussion to the social aspects, focus on playing the game itself, focus on the production of a different game, or a supplement, put things in perspective given actual events at your table, or let it lie fallow for a while and enjoy something else. Feeling a bit of melancholy as you're letting go is OK. :)Alex Schroederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17104864340940538702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7552783300752163646.post-5921042572232243212010-11-04T17:32:30.887-04:002010-11-04T17:32:30.887-04:00I know what you're talking about; you can sens...I know what you're talking about; you can sense the lessening output of analysis. But, unless we want to create a new school and reanalyze everything, then it's not a bad thing. It just means we should be devoting our energies to doing other stuff: writing new rules, new settings, new adventures, and (of course) playing.Matthew Slepinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04056247825064943944noreply@blogger.com
