Gaming thoughts

I really want to get back into tabletop gaming. I miss the time with others around a table where we talk and enjoy the company and the fun of just being in a shared space.

Playing online is fun. It's been my refuge for a long time and has been a place for me to escape from the stress of daily life. It also has taken a different tone for me in different stages of life. I feel that I am in the place now where playing online brings enjoyment not from playing the games with others, but because I am spending time with others. It's not the game any more.

As I sit and look at the collection of tabletop games on the shelf, I wonder when I will get to play any of them again. They hold memories, some of them. Others hold dreams of how much fun they might be. Still others sit waiting patiently for their day to be more than collecting dust.

Life is weird.
