Welcome to the blog of the semi-retired gamer. You may be wondering exactly what the title means. It's pretty simple to explain. I have been playing role-playing games off and on for over 30 years. Since I have been growing older, getting married, raising kids, going to college, and basically just living life my time to devote to gaming has been drastically reduced. I still get to participate in a tabletop RPG session once in a while but I usually just visit the forums, read rulebooks, or work on my homebrew campaign world. In a nutshell, I don't actively game as often as I used to so I am "semi-retired".
What is this blog going to be about? I know that it will cover various topics related to gaming. That's a no-brainer. The subject of my first series of posts will be the Adventures in Fantasy boxed set of fantasy role-playing rules written by Dave Arneson and Richard Snider. I will begin with a first impression and then move on to exploring the rules. After completing AiF I will come up with another topic.
What's the posting schedule? I will begin this weekend and plan on sticking to a once a week schedule. Who knows? It could be more frequently or less.
Thanks for starting this up!
