History repeats?

[kyrasantae]

...but I suppose that if there is one thing (and there is) that I arguably spend too much time and money on, to little result, it'd be my board games. The similarities to what prompted the Sundering (role-playing games) are striking -- stuff which provides a lot of busywork through artistic customization, lots of bits or dice or cards to play with. These kinds of games, are a vehicle for social interaction and contact, yet despite this, I end up hoping to play them more than I actually do play them. At least I actually do play the occasional board game, and some of them can be played solitaire. In that way I suppose I've gotten more enjoyment out of board games than I ever had through RPGs, but I've also spent a lot more money on board games. They also take up more space.

Even so, if under some circumstance the Sundering repeats itself and my board games are gone... I'd probably not take it so hard, because I'm not really as sentimentally close to them as I was with my RPG books and fantasy novels. Some of them, sure, but only because of their Finnishness.


but I loved too much by such / and such is happiness thrown away
