In time, I picked up a number of Pathfinder books (tried to get into it but just found 5e easier to run – especially as a returning DM) and also the magnificent 13th Age which I now run a play by post campaign for on Gamersplane. It really is a Brave New World, even if it’s a long term hobby of mine. Sure, I wrote lots of adventures and read the books religiously but thinking back, I don’t recall ever participating or running a campaign on the scale of what I’m doing now. My experience since last year has made me realise that I probably played D&D very little when I was younger. Our game has been running for around 9 months now and we’re well into home-brewed material at this stage. However, soon I settled in and started to get better at DMing. I’d skipped straight from 2e to 5e without a stop in the middle. I can’t deny, I was nervous as hell running those first few sessions, particularly given that some of my players were old hands, having played every edition of the game. Within a couple of months of picking up the core 5e books, I was running the Lost Mine of Phandelver campaign from the starter set using the excellent intregrated module available on Fantasy Grounds. I was going to play again.Īnd play again I did. From there it was only going to end one way.

Ultimately, I was drawn back in, and the Players Handbook, DMs Guide and Monster Manual were all ordered within the week. I had a young family and couldn’t devote time to playing and finding a local group.įast forward to 2016 and my interest was peaked again when I purchased the D&D 5th Edition Starter Set for my (then) 8 year old son. I recall toying with getting back into gaming around 2008 or so, and at that time I dug around to find updated versions of my favourite games but didn’t make the final leap to purchasing a core rulebook.
I’m guilty of all of the classic neglect strategies that the modern 40+ gamer has probably implemented at one time or another in their life. Work, partying, the fact that it wasn’t “cool” to play RPGs etc etc.
I think it was probably around 1992 when I last actively participated, although when I trawled through my RPG books in the garage (which have followed me from address to address since 1983 onwards), I know that I was at least still writing adventures as late as 1994.īut life got in the way. I don’t know when I actively stopped playing role-playing games. In this first post, I wanted to acknowledge the reason for this blog even existing, as well as document the journey to where I am now in terms of being back playing tabletop RPGs after 22+ years. We have also created and published Coriolis – The Third Horizon (2017), Forbidden Lands (2018) and Alien – The Roleplaying Game (2019).Welcome.
