The Gamestress’s Toons
The “Lives in Time” of a Southern Gamer Girl
A CAST OF THOUSANDS IN STORIES GONE-BY
These are the characters that this southern gamer girl has portrayed in various roleplaying games. Listing them out like this helped me refocus on the integrality of storytelling in my life, in virtually all aspects. I’ve enjoyed the in-game interactions in which I’ve been honored to participate over the years, and I treasure the stories “lived” through interactions with other players. These tales, whether played out locally or involving players spanning the world, are sometimes gut-wrenchers staged on an “epic” scale and at other times they’re subtle and quiet yet life-altering in the very best of ways.
Whenever the call goes out, “GAME ON,” rest assured, I’ll be there!
