Larry’s Log

Joshua has an interesting observation over at Strip Mining for Whimsey:

It’s weird, seeing RPG geeks get old. When I was a kid there just wasn’t any such thing as an old RPG geek. Now they’re everywhere. And boy— let me tell you: they were kind of embarrassing when they were young and underfed. But the older and heavier they get, the worse I feel for them.

I was never into the RPG thing. It gained shortly after I left high school so I wasn’t introduced to it until after I had other things taking up my time. Had I been born a few years later I most likely would have been drawn deeply into them. After reading Joshua’s description of the older ones I’m glad I was born when I was born.
