Welcome

So, who is The New Druid and what is this blog?

I'll give you the basics. I'm in my mid forties, family man and a revived gamer. Growing up I would play board games heavily with my parents, friends and brother. Recently, I have gotten back into tabletop gaming and realized that I really like the themes that modern board games offer. The interaction and the story telling replacing the simple roll and move mechanics that I grew up with (Dark Tower and Stop Thief being two exceptions to that rule). The more theme and story telling, the better as far as I'm concerned. This got me thinking. Maybe it was time for me to re-evaluate my opinions on role playing games, specifically D&D.

That brings us to this blog... What is it about? Well, it's simple. It will be about my journey back into a game, and world that I only took part in once or twice a long time ago and then dismissed.

I'll talk about steps that I've taken to get back into D&D, interesting things I come across while learning about my new hobby and post things that serve as inspiration. I may also post some stories and incidents that I find noteworthy, cool or funny from my campaign.

I will probably also post other tabletop game related material from time to time.

Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you again!

Happy Gaming!
