I spent hundreds and hundreds of hours as a tween/teen rolling dice and moving lead miniatures around an acetate hex sheet. The sounds of birds and a lightening sky would tell my friends and I that we played all night long. But it wasn’t dice, or just a sheet of plastic. It was a story, a world in which I lived and shared with friends. Amazing how far virtual worlds have come. RIP EGG.
