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.
A blog featuring the game related ramblings and ideas of a role-playing gamer since 1980. My interests include many games and gaming related topics, but my main focus will be on Open Ended Original Edition Old School Fantasy Adventure Sandbox Role Playing Games (OEOEFASRPG™) The Open-Ended Sandbox Exploration of Dungeons, Wilderness and Cities. Occasionally, other topics outside of gaming will be discussed here as well.
Thanks for starting this up!
