  • I didn’t play D&D until Stranger Things kicked off the resurgence. As a kid, I watched Robotech - I loved the mechs and the sci-fi tropes. That got me into the Robotech RPG which got me into Rifts, which got me into Shadowrun. Existence as a teen was pretty boring, so GMing an imaginary world where life was exciting was amazing. I ended up playing a solo game with a friend for 2-3 hours a day on the phone for a few years. Was it good? Probably not. Did we love it? Yes.

    I gave it up when I went to uni because life got exciting there. I had choices and I could do things.

    Life is a bit less exciting now, so I’ve come back to RPGs. Cyberpunk RED is the closest my group will get to Shadowrun, so I’m GMing that. It’s a good time. But now my games have to be good, so I’m putting more effort into them. It’s challenging and creative, which is something I’m missing atm. We only play two hours a week, but I spend lots of time prep’ing.
