You aren’t the only one that has a hard time trying to figure out what I mean. I am right brained to a fault. I have tried for years to *retrain* myself because I perceived it as a problem. I was all about relationships and communication. I am becoming convinced that the two are mutually exclusive.

Now I am losing the ability or actually losing the *want to* of even talking.

You sometimes seem not to understand what I say. I sometimes have trouble figuring out what you say. I have known left-thinking issues. You seem to express yourself in terms that are more emotional/intuitive and less straight-line logical.

And it is not a conclusion but more of a guess.

What made you draw this conclusion?

But…but alcaray…I care about what you have to say…;)

I think you have nailed it!

I think the difference between you and I is that I have a cripplingly left-brained approach to things while you come at things from rather far to the right-brained side. This is mars-venus stuff, not politics. And our approaches are so far apart that we have trouble making sense of what the other is saying.

(Note that this post is a perfect example of the left-brained problem solving focus.)

Don’t fear trying it out because of the expense. It costs exactly $0 unless you get stupid and get out your plastic and decide to buy stuff. You will need a pc and internet connection, so I guess you could call them costs (if you didn’t already have them). It costs some hard drive space, I guess. But you get it back when you uninstall.

Depends on your craft skill Seriously though, once you buy a handbook, dice, and stat papers, and some figurines, you’re set until the next edition or add-on comes out. Something tells me this stuff is a LOT cheaper than all the crap they try to pass of on you in Second Life; not to mention a lot funner.

Cheaper than free? Does it spin gold out of straw?

After reviewing the below posts, I have only one thing to say:

D&D is cheaper. Seriously….

The furry thing…

I have always thought the “furry” deal was an adolescent gay thing. Obviously, I am wrong about that.

I guess I was led to believe that by a woman I knew whose son was a furry and turned out to be gay.

It obviously has nothing to do with sexual preference.

All in all,I find this stuff interesting but somewhat off putting.:)
