Role-playing Games, An Advanced Social Art Form

For a while now I’ve been playing role-playing games and nowhere else have I seen the art of interactive storytelling as well refined. When recalled, many of my favorite gaming experiences seem more like scenes from a movie or memories from a road trip taken with friends, vivid and nearly as potent as real memories. As a positive influence, this hobby has also provided a constant creative outlet over the years. I’ve developed characters, settings and plot-lines that have become the elements of my own mythos.
