This is written to express all the energy I accumulated and processed these last days thanks to this forum, you’re all brilliant and many of the posts are amusing, funny and wise. Even when it feels so dark and cold. Lonely and uninspiring. . The first time I played RPG it was D&D, no idea which version. I played an archer elf. . I never had ressources back then to this kind of game. I love stories. I love RPG. I love D&D. So I became a Storyteller. Not a Dungeon Master or a Game Master. I wanted to tell stories, to play dices, to astral project in a Multiverse of imagination. I’m a brilliant storyteller.
