Dipping My Toe Back Into Gaming
Aug. 28th, 2005 07:07 pmI spent a lovely several hours with Hob today, taking a long walk, having brunch, and talking non-stop until our Third joined us prior to their afternoon gaming session at the local con. It was the first time all three of us had been together since our last gaming session when we decided to disband, and it was nice to be "us" again.
Talking with Hob was quite wonderful, and we spent some of our time together discussion options for my One Night Only Guest Appearance with his gaming group (3+ hours from where I live). He's running an Evil D&D 3rd edition campaign, so I've been pondering what kind of Evil I'd like to be.
Which is a rather perverse and somewhat kinky pursuit considering how much energy I'm putting into my spiritual life these days, especially given my current focus on love and healing.
We rolled up stats, talked over the implications of being a cleric of Hextor, and my homework is to peruse the Player's Handbook and get some ideas. We're going to complete the process via email over the next week or so. No rush, since I won't be driving down until Septmember 16th.
I think I mentioned that this character is going to be a kind of Dark Jedi version of my Star Wars princess character, who is the PC closest to me after more than a decade of playing her on and off. It should be interesting to let that part of myself out to stretch and be wicked.
It was a lot of fun to be back in that groove: playing with the stats, thinking about background, thinking about party balance, where the character would be an easy fit for me and where I would need to stretch. . . All made even better because I was collaborating with someone I love.
One of the great pleasures of my life is creative collaboration with someone I love.
It's been far too long.
Today was a relatively mild experience, but still more than I've had in a while.
