Roleplaying
Our group weekly topic this week is Roleplaying! I haven't really done much of it honestly, but I wish I had gotten into roleplaying more. I haven't ever been worried about the stigma associated with it, I just haven't had a good opportunity to dig in.
I've only tried DnD a few times for probably less than 8 hours total. My brother did some DMing for my family and we all seemed to like it. The problem has always been scheduling. It's hard to find time for a group of people to sit down and game on a regular basis. It's only gotten more difficult afte having kids.
I'm hoping to try out more DnD and attempt some other role playing systems once my kids get a little bit older. I think they'll have fun with it, and it gives me a great excuse to get into the hobby.
The main thing on my roleplaying radar at the moment is Thornwatch. I'm really excited for the Thornwatch roleplaying game from the Penny Arcade guys! I love their work, the world they've created for the game, and the things they're doing to streamline playing and DMing. I think I'm going to try to DM Thornwatch for some people once the game is eventually released!
I'm actually going to PAX for the first time later this year and one of the main things I want to check out while there is Thornwatch! I'll definitely report back when I do.
As always, it's time for the Friday link-up! If you're reading in a RSS feed click through to see the majesty. Drop in any link from the past week that you thought was exceptionally good!

I completely forgot about FGF this past week. *facepalm* (These long-ass days at work are killing me.) I'll be in on this next one! I'm sorry! :(
