“Through the years, I’ve found that every person’s love for RPGs comes from their own place—from telling a good story to character development, camaraderie and friendship, wonder, overcoming unique challenges, or beating the snot out of the bad guys. There’s something for everyone’s tastes and desires, and I thoroughly enjoy them all!”
