So, lately I've found myself involved in a new hobby: Role Playing.
And God, I fricken love it. It's like being 7 all over again!
My two mediums of choice; The Crowded Hour and World of Darkness.
The Crowded Hour website is here. And boy am I ever impressed with it. So much detail, seriously. I mean, I've seen mutli-fandom role playing games before but jesus, this one is the best. Every detail of it's universe is planned out. You know exactly where you are, when you're there, what it looks like, how it feels, what you have. It gives you everything you need to know to get out there and play your character with more fun and mystery than any LJ RPG I've ever seen. Your character is invited to this place with their greatest subconscious desires having been promised to them, and they come to it to find that it is nothing like what was promised. All that and everyone else is in the same (yet entirely different) boat. There are so many ways for plots to develop other than just character relationships. And might I add that the players are just stunning? Everyone is so talented and has a great understanding of their character. I'm proud to say that I RP Willow (from BtVS, of course) and I've quickly become friends with Valen, who RPs a resurrected Tara (who remembers nothing of her real human life) and stole my SN from the character/player list on the website. We're both quite excited for the angst and emotionalnessness that shall come. GOD I LOVE IT. It's a challenge for me to write, seeing as this is my first time doing it. But it's already helping me so much. It's a creative outlet that I am much in need of.
World of Darkness is just fucking fun. It definitely lacks the artful side that Crowded Hour has, but it's full of much shits and giggles. It is also possibly the nerdiest thing I have ever done (WoD= an updated/awesomer D&D). Katie, John, Daniel, and Myself play every Tuesday night at Game Empire. We decided upon Changeling: The Lost, because well, faeries are fun and so is madness- and Changeling has both! We're basically all creatures who were once humans that were ripped from the human world and taken behind "the hedge" to the land of the fae, where we were tortured both mentally and physically. And now we're escaping. I'm a naked forest nymph, Katie's a siren with broken wings, and John's a bogeyman with really cool clothes and awesomely expressive eyes. It. Is. So. Cool.
Role Playing is a great exercise for my brain. And it makes my soul happy,
Rachael.

D:
I never have anything interesting to write about waaaaaaaaaaaah!
I'm not a boring person, I swear. I'm just bad at this whole blogging thing. I'm good at journaling, but ask me to blog? Lamesauce! Badness! Sadface!
