Hello everyone,

Almost done with this semester! Just got a new system to work with over break, too. This week's article was actually inspired by a friend. She wanted to know how to get professionals into role-playing games. I've been thinking on how to get anyone at all into them. The result of this pondering is defining how we benefit from role-playing games. I'm not mentioning the fun factor deliberately because that comes with experience. Today's article is about personal evolution.
