When I was a young lad I played a fantasy roleplaying game called Dungeons and Dragons. These days, most people think of Role Playing Games (RPG) as something you play on computer with thousands of other people. But the RPG I played is different. It takes place in your imagination and the players act the role of their fighter, elf, magic-user, and so on. The consequences of your actions were often decided by dice and it was a very exciting game.
In 1995 I came to Korea and could no longer play Dungeons and Dragons. Nobody around me knew the game. Then, a few years ago, I was surfing the Internet and found a website where people played Dungeons and Dragons online. I was very excited. I could once again play the game I enjoyed as a younger person. These days I play with three other people through Skype. Two are from the United States and one is from Canada. We have a computer program where we can draw maps but otherwise the game is still in our imagination. Playing the game at the kitchen table with friends is the best but playing online is not bad. Every Saturday morning we meet online and we play for several hours. It's probably my favourite time of the week.
