You live, you learn, you fall in and out of love.  This is certainly the case with me and gaming.  My first game with a complexity beyond <em>Chutes and Ladders<\/em> or <em>Trouble<\/em> was my Mom&#8217;s copy of <em>The Royal Game of Ur<\/em>, with my Uncle (a former stringer for the game company SPI) introducing me to my first hex-and-counter games at the tender age of 15.  My first RPG was the original &#8216;Red Box&#8217; version of <em>Dungeons &amp; Dragons<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This blog is a chronicle of time.  Both my past (raw nostalgia), the present (what I&#8217;m doing now), and the future (what I&#8217;d like to do).  I hope to share with everyone what I&#8217;ve seen and learned, as well as my progress in trying to learn new tricks.  Or, at least, new games and new ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is very easy for older folks like myself, born in 1970, to become calcified; refusing to adapt and learn.  I do not want to be a &#8216;Grognard&#8217; or Gatekeeper.  I want to keep doing new things all the way to the end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is known that time changes a person. You live, you learn, you fall in and out of love.
