I've come to a conclusion today that I have a void in my life, I have no outlet for creativity.
It's not that I'm not creative, more that I'm not traditionally creative. I don't write, draw, paint, sculpt, or anything like that. The closest I ever got was mapping for Quake. My creativity is based in problem solving. I can't figure out how to apply that to a hobby of some sort.
What do you guys do?
I love DnD, and have viewed a little bit of the Pathfinder material. I am also part of a discord where this idea floats around constantly. We've got a handful of people that ready and willing to start a Roll20 group or even meet up in person. I love Choose Your Own Adventure stories, its what I grew up on. I practically live my life in that mindset.
Let me know if you ever have anything going on, I might take a peek.
Because of my work hours, I can only play at wonky times for US people (usually 1-2 AM until 5 AM US Central Time), so my two playing partners are someone on the west coast with no job and a girl who lives in Pakistan. :p
I'm still not sure how this will play out even with 2. I've looked at Roll20 and tinkered with it a bit, but it can be hard to work with at times I think. Though if you have what you need, it can be very cool.
I don't have a ton of creative outlets either. I think my imagination serves as the primary one (not connected to what I'm about to say).
I do have two people I know from a Discord server who I will be kicking off a Pathfinder (D&D 3.75, effectively), campaign with, so that'll also provide some good creative output. Only two people, but maybe that's OK given that I'll be the only one talking, and they'll both be typing. :p
I have done a little writing in the past; nothing like what Locke or someone who actually writes does, but just some place to express myself a little. I have been thinking about getting serious about one particular story or set of stories that would be a "Choose-your-own-adventure" type; but I'm not much of a writer in the first place, and motivating myself is difficult, even though I have a lot of ideas in my head.
