Gaming, My Hobby, My Tribe
Introduction:
Role Playing Games, or RPGs, have been in existence ever since one friend or sibling said to another, Lets Play Pretend or perhaps Make Believe. At the basis is telling a story together, to entertain. It is a distant relative to Interactive Theatre, it is a form of Improvisational Storytelling, it is a way to flex the mental and creative muscles to tell a story, create a tale, recreate a myth in a person's own way. It is a form of Entertainment.
Why This Hub is Here:
This is my hobby. Role Playing Games, it has been since about Christmas of 1977. For me this has been a source of entertainment, enjoyment, and creative inspiration during this time.
As a hobby, it is a way to use writing and other creative skills in telling a story.
In High School it was one of my primary social outlets. Now I use it to create newsletters, work and help out on gaming things for other companies, and someday I will publish my own works as well. I have several potential items in various stages of completion. One that could be done in a few days or weeks, sans decent editorial assistance that is. It all ties into my love of writing as well.
My Gaming Focus:
Mostly a mix up of more than one genre which is what I love the most about gaming. Much like my taste in fiction as well. My favorite gaming genres includes the following:
- Cyberpunk
- Steampunk
- Victoriana
- Superheroes
- Horror
- Stuff that mixes it all up
- Speculative Fiction
- Singularity Style Gaming
There are way too many systems to mention that I have the books for. Instead I am just going to mention the ones I care about any more.
- d20 OGL (MSRD and SRD)
- FUZION / Interlock
- HERO System / Champions
- Dark Conspiracy
- Call of Cthulhu
- JAGS (Just Another Game System)
One of the best sources of RPG goodness is Michael Tresca's RPG Examiner page. Go check it out.

Whoa, "since 1977", I wonder what's your age now...RPGs eh? The 1st RPG game that I played was "Dragon Warrior" & "Breath of Fire" series on the Nintendo GameBoy Color & GameBoy Advance. I have to agree that the greatness of the RPG did depends on most importantly:
1. Storyline
2. Gameplay
3. Graphics
So, the RPGs games that I've played on random game consoles till now are:
The Legend of Zelda, PokeMon, Super Mario RPG, Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy 2 & 8 [The only ones that I managed to complete], Jade Cocoon, The Legend of Dragoon, Brave Story New Traveler,Dragoneers Aria, and not forgetting my favourite: Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic.
