My game group just started up a new Dungeons & Dragons campaign. It’s been almost a year since we last played D&D. Over the past many months, we’ve played some board games, Star Wars role playing game, and Marvel Super Heroes role playing game. As fun as those games are, I still like D&D best.

A while back, my wife and I were watching our boys play and we talked about how fun it would be to play like we did when we were kids. I commented that is pretty much what I do every Friday night, with my role playing games. I still play the games I started playing when I was 13, and those games are basically expansions of the core “let’s pretend” of an even younger age. So I sort of get to revisit my childhood play even as a full grown adult.

Of course the games have evolved, and I’ve matured, but the heart and soul and spirit of playing D&D and other such games is pretty much still the same as it was when I was 13 and 6 years old.
