I am sorry about not posting a new blog post in a while because it has been a few weeks since I last played D&D and I didn't feel that inspired to type for a while. I have been playing magic, worried about other concerns in my life, and life just gets in the way of D&D. The real world isn't as risky or adventurous like the adventurer's life.
The first thing I always found funny was how adventurers from all walks of life group together to tackle the challenges of a dungeon somehow manage to get along with each other. A buff fighter trained as a soldier takes the lead. The suspicious looking halfling thief that is pretending to be a performer follows the fighter, sometimes scouting ahead looking for well concealed traps. A religious zealot of Pelor acting as the cleric proudly strides behind the thief. A lucid fresh from the academy wizard, carefully sauntering along while reading a spellbook. Finally, a nature loving ranger that gaurds the rear with his composite longbow & quiver of arrows ready. Well, even though it might seem silly wondering how all these people get along, the dynamics of this group works because a balanced group encompasses all of the necessary skills to take on everything. Every character class has their strengths and weaknesses.
Then there is the feeling of searching for something after not finding anything in the area. Or how about the conflict of character knowledge versus player knowledge. Roleplaying has its hilarious blunders, but what really matters is friends gathering together, having fun and mocking the whole situation. Life should have fun moments.
