Think back to when you were a kid and wanted nothing more than to discover you had secret magical powers. You weren’t always about which credit cards get you the most points, Pyrex dishware, or 401ks. You had moments of imagination and wonder. Adventures in your own backyard. We never gave a second thought to pretending we were an elven maiden on a quest to find a treasure hidden in an underwater cave guarded by a giant squid.
I’ve always wanted to play Dungeons and Dragons. The idea had always intrigued me, and I really loved the idea. Unfortunately, for a long time, I wasn’t able to find anyone to play with and was left constantly wondering about the game. I let it go and stopped looking for anyone to play with.
This is my second month in social isolation and, to keep myself from going stir-crazy, I’ve been reacquainting myself with my video game library. Specifically, the indie video games I’ve been ardently collecting the past two years.
