Game or gamer you miss?
Rather than depress myself by dwelling on people I’ve lost or simply lost touch with, I shall instead only slightly depress myself by saying that the gamer I miss is this guy right here:
That’s me in the 80s, that’s me in the kitchen (of a friend’s parents house), probably just about to play some game or other. Back then summers were no job, no school/college, playing D&D, Cthulhu or Runequest every day for what seemed like endless weeks at a time.
Of course now there’s more games than ever, and I have a smidgeon more money to pay for them, and then very little time to play them, and organising around work and family and other commitments. Yay.
