It’s All in the Timing
Timing: some people have it, some don’t. I must not have it. A couple weeks back I was visiting with some friends and they expressed how much fun they had at a How to Host a Murder game night. Now while I’m not a personal fan of the game (based on the two times I played it) I quickly recognized what it could be, and I’d like to believe my friends liked it for the same reasons I wanted to like it. So I’ve been keeping my eye on Dirty Secrets, a role-playing game of hard boiled detecting, and it hit me this morning, I bet my friends would get a kick out of this (plus I’ve been trying to get my friends to try RPGs).
So here’s the timing bit: they are considering leaving the state. My buddy is applying to seminaries, and his first pick is Denver. So I may have lost a chance to introduce a new style of gaming to some friends and play a cool game while I’m at it.
Timing, it just passes me by like I’m standing still.
