Sorcerer and Sword offer insight to "long forgotten wis

Hiya everyone, I'm a new fan/GM of Sorcerer but I've been on the forge lurking in the Riddle of Steel section for a while. :)

I recently purchased Sorcerer + its 3 supplements and after the main book and supplement one (Sorcerer and Sword) it hit me like a freight-train what the game is meant to be and gave me language to apply to the concepts that have kept me role playing for 17 plus years.

When I was a whippersnapper with my hands on a partial rule book for "Empire of the Petal Throne" some modified game notes and box of card-board dungeon pieces. A couple of friends and I would wile away the hours in solo adventures, which was really little more then us enjoying a trusting game of �Lets pretend� with these rules. No scenarios, no modus operandi, except to entertain ourselves with what new and exciting things can happen to this hero now. Perhaps it was because I was timid or just a kindness toward my friends but it was never about killing the character or crushing them with the next tough monster. It was about telling a fun story rather then humiliating my play partner. I was maybe only ten or eleven at the time but those were great times and plenty of innocent fun. And it�s been that sort of fun and experience I�ve been chasing via role playing into my adult life with notably mixed results.

Anyhow I�ll likely be sharing some stuff from a recently started Sorcerer and Sword game my friends and I got going but until then I just wanted to say hi to everyone and offer my thanks and admiration to Ron Edwards for sharing his RP/gaming insights! I think my gaming will never be the same, Sorcerer or not I'm going to be applying the wonderful insights about narrative gaming to my other favorites.
