Dungeons and Dragons! Oh My!

I recently watched the film Gamers. This is a mockumentry about a group of guys (of course) that are obsessed with the rpg Demons, Nymphs and Dragons. They have played for 74,558 hours and are attempting to break the record for longest hours ever played. The film looks into their lives, sacrifices, and dedication to the game while viewing their personal lives.

After viewing this film, I had a renewed interest in D&D. I've been playing for about a year now and started with a combination of 3.o and 3.5 edition. Since 4th edition came out in June, I've been playing two separate games. In my boyfriends campaign, I play a level 3 (soon to be 4) Tiefling Warlock named Nemia. In our friend's campaign, I play a recently (last night) level 4 Dragonborn
Cleric.

Before watching this film, I would feel the stress of playing. The game almost seemed like a job or task. I had gotten to where I didn't look forward to playing. Thats went I realized that I can't continue like that. D&D is a hobby not a chore. But, after being amused by the group and seeing their struggle, I could relate. I knew the stress of everyone depending on you to put your heart in the game and to not half-ass it. My faith and interested was renewed in an 87 minute film.

I have actually begun to tabulate my own rpg hours. Wonder what that will tally to, 75,000 hours? :)
