Over the years, Forgotten Realms and gaming have taken me all over the world and made me all sorts of new friends.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was friends with all different people and all different groups. And that led me to being friends with a few people who didn't even go to my school. Now I have the most amazing collection of friends of all ethnic backgrounds and upbringing and financial backgrounds.
Every place where I played or managed is special to me because of the memories and the friendships that each afforded me.
Friendships that don't fit my life anymore have faded away, and new ones have come in.
I've played so many moms, best friends, sisters and understanding people.
I've been a gamer all my life.
I was a huge fantasy geek growing up. I was the dungeon master in my D&D game.
What I've realized over the years is that I have some pretty good friends.
I knew there were a lot of friends out there, and I wanted to be with them.
I know how addictive videogames are - I have friends who can't get up off the couch because they're so hooked. They provide these different virtual worlds that you can live in.
Through my writing, I have made new friends and continued to learn about this world of ours in all its wonder, with all its challenges.
