Table top RPG was probably one of the best medium we have had at really developing the creative mind. Computer games still do that, but nowadays they emerge you in realistic graphic and physics. Back then, each one of us at the table had a different picture in our mind about the story that was unfolding. It didn’t matter that our imagination weren’t bringing us to the exact same place, and it force us to work on getting communication if there was any ambiguity.

I hope that my son will eventually pick up such a game instead of a remote all the time. Who knows, maybe I’ll be the GM :)

Thanks people!

Michel: cool.

Shadhex: heh, dads are like that. My dad once asked if there were something about satanism in those role playing books… and we said ‘no. At some point I even wrote a piece of text explaining what role playing means – it was published in the newspaper where he worked. (can’t remember what I said but I think I compared RPGs first with Chess the game where ‘you eat soldiers’… and I think eventually it shed some light in the issue. It’s just a game…)

>Pen & paper role playing games don’t equal to satan worshipping.
This is the same year we had to stop playing Rift at one of our friends because his father read somewhere that it was evil. To this day I still think that http://www.palladiumbooks.com/ created one of the best universe to get lost into. Unfortunately, beside a card game and a NGage game (Rift-Rise to power), no one has yet to transform this pen&paper in a great computer or console game.

Happy birthday!
