Why roleplay?

Games for people who care too much
That’s such a complete list, it’s hard to add to it. Though I’d say, so far as one specific type of game (LARP) goes, I roleplay to play dress-up.
There’s some other weirder reasons, (keeping a marriage/relationship fresh) that might take too much explanation so as to not sound weird, but I think I’ll leave it unexplained anyway.
Wow, new theme!
Yep, new theme. I discovered the old one messed up nested lists. This is also closer to what I ultimately envision for the site, when I get a custom design done. I want this sort of Craig Grant/’04 era SuicideGirls/D&D Red Box look…
Personally, I’d add “to explore an imaginary place.”
