Natural 20

Are there any activities or hobbies you’ve outgrown or lost interest in over time?

There’s one hobby I used to enjoy when I was in high school that I’ve let slide unfortunately over the years. Dungeons & Dragons.

I began playing this in high school as I was at a boarding school and thoroughly enjoyed that and painting the little games workshop figures with my friends. Unfortunately, as I’ve got older Life has unfortunately as it always does, it gets in the way.

I have, however rekindled my love of choose your own adventure books which were designed by one of the gentleman who founded the games workshop Ian Livingstone.

So why I may not have enough friends to play Dungeons & Dragons anymore I can still grab my bag of dice a pencil and head off into the caverns of the snow witch, just like I did when I was 12 years old. I’m sure that nostalgia will have given it rose tinted glasses and I’m probably not going to find it as much fun as I did as a kid, but you don’t know if you don’t try.
