Hello all! Glad to be here. I've been playing and GMing since the late 1970s - DnD, HERO, Ubiquity, a bit of GURPS. And that HARP game that didn't work out so well. :-) I'm currently running two long-running Middle-earth setting games, with the One Ring ruleset (Cubicle 7). I love my players, they are are all new to roleplaying games and so they don't know what they should and shouldn't be doing. The result has been some amazing roleplaying and some interesting experiences. I enjoy world-building and story-crafting, but I'm also interested in how games can be used to provide experiences that are emotionally or psychologically "nourishing". I'm not necessarily talking about "therapeutic", I have no training or experience in that area. But I do believe that stories and settings can provide healing and comfort.
