I know. I did the whole D&D thing.

But something about too much RPing bothers me. I can't exactly put my finger on it, but itseems like it's wrong somehow or inferior or, perhaps- Well, I'm very practical for a guy who likes Final Fantasy. And I think that RPing is a form of creative storytelling that can only be used for entertainment purposes, and I shy away from it because of that.

For example, even if you do manage to write an epic saga about your characters in their RP adventures, it'll still be extreme fiction (Almost definitely), and as such almost impossible to market.

I have spent an exorbitant amount of time, talent, and teaching in my efforts to escae the realms of fantasy writing and move toward realism, magical or otherwise.
