I'm glad to find my sentiment reflected in the article:
I was interested in RPGs and wargames in the early 90s. Even in my relatively backwater hometown there were events, stores or clubs were I could socialize over them.
It was all swept away by MtG within a few months, and I had the misfortune of not "getting it" myself and suddenly being left without anyone to play anywhere.
So I'm still repelled by card games to this day.
- solardev 3y agoHave you tried rejoining the scene? These days I see my local game store having wargame nights, Magic nights, tabletop nights, etc. I think the market for all of those has exploded over the last decade and there's sooooo much gaming of all sorts now. Truly a nerd's paradise :D
- fcatalan 3y agoIn a way yes, an important part of the appeal of the games were the miniatures, and during the pandemic I got back into collecting and painting them and it's become my main hobby since then.
- solardev 3y agoCool! I'm always impressed by other people's miniatures work. I never had that sort of patience... little grey men it is.
