D&D

I am enjoying playing in Ralph's D&D game, and I'm especially pleased that Ralph is getting into the "extra-game story" aspects. I decided when we started playing a few months ago that my character (a young human girl from the boondocks) would keep a diary, and that I would actually write those diary entries as sort of meta-game entertainment, and to help me develop the character. I know this makes Ralph happy. Last night Ralph wrote a letter that my character just received, which I like to think was maybe inspired by the diary stuff. I think these sorts of things make the game more fun; Ralph could have just told us "you got a letter that said such-and-such" but he didn't. Nifty. Yes, of course doing this stuff is lots more work, so I don't expect it'll happen all the time, but it's still neat when it does.
