roleplaying

[sev]

I am very glad this current roleplaying game, where we're playing characters based on ourselves, is coming to a close. It's been fun (more fun when the GM gets tipsy & takes off her shirt) but really, one of the nice things about roleplaying is getting *away* from the limits I experience in normal day-to-day life.

Periodically, I'll do something brave, rash, and/or spontaneous, and somebody in my gaming group will note that I'm channeling my favorite D&D character, who was outgoing and risk-taking in ways that I'm normally not. Having a bit of Verrin stick, even after we've stopped playing that game, was a good thing.

Maybe next time I'll create a character that's big and dumb. I think that would be fun.

Oh, yeah. I know what you mean about playing to "get away". When my group accused me of creating characters that were "typically girly" I played a big dumb mercenary for a long time, and it was a totally different sort of challenge.
