Day 3: Thread
Only a short post today, but it still counts. I’d rather be positive, but much like yesterday’s post, negativity has to creep in sometimes because I’m a realist. I sometimes feel my ability to participate in the hobby is hanging by a thread. Let’s list some more obstacles:
1. China and bad internet connections—keeping me from running or participating in a virtual table top group…or even one shots.
2. Pandemic—this is blocking the live table action.
3. Time sink—the danger of RPGs has never been Satan and his demons, but rather the time involved if you choose to be a regular player. My daughter will soon be six. A bit too young to play yet, but well old enough to want my attention. The job is also taking their 40 hrs from me each week. Maybe even more since they want me to learn Chinese and IB teaching style.
4. Product—I want hard copy. In China I’ve found it hard to get packages sent out to me even before the pandemic. I’m going to try and put that to the test soon, but since I’m a nomad I’m always having a hard time carrying my stuff. I have a literal treasure chest full of material that I want to keep sitting out in the Philippines right now. Who knows when I’ll get the stuff back?
5. Money sink—not as big a deal as it used to be, but I sometimes feel my money would be better spent elsewhere.
So, my hobby is hanging by a thread, but no worries that thread is still strong.
