Dream job would probably be a fantasy author, but that is just a dream. I don't read or write enough to actually accomplish that with any accuracy. I could see myself writing a few pieces of shorter fiction, but not really sure right now. I always wanted to be a fantasy author because I could always see this world in my head that I wished I could have shared with everyone. I've spent the last two years or so working on it in my spare time, so I wouldn't say I'm not trying.
Dungeons and Dragons adventure writing. Short bits of cool fantasy. They are self contained and get your writing. I am trying my hand at it. Its a cool functional type of writing.
It is amazing that you say that because I got invited to join a Dungeons and Dragons group a few weeks ago. Never really been into the whole scene, but the prospect of getting to stretch my imagination is definitely intriguing. How long have you been at it? Any tips?
I started a long time ago....too long...like early 90s long. Anyway I missed out on it for about a decade, got in, hated the rules, got out again. Now I am back in. 5e is AMAZING and encourages roleplay over ruleplay.
If I was to give any tips is that for your first character make yourself. It is easy to roleplay yourself. You are you. But stretch yourself to be a hero! Act like the superhero you can't be in real life. Also, don't buy the books yet. Online there is a version of the base rules.
