[CAR-PGa] Roleplaying games as writing inspiration

(Cut and pasted from The Escapist Blog - www.theescapist.com/blog )<p>

My friend Bob Mueller sent me a post from the Write Anything blog
(http://writeanything.wordpress.com) on the benefits that RPGs can
provide to writers who are looking for inspiration.

It's actually the second in a trilogy of posts on using RPGs as
inspiration for your writing. I'm not sure if they will bring much
enlightenment to experienced gamers - we're already very aware of
these benefits by now - but they're really geared for non-roleplayer
writers who are looking for new paths to inspiration.

The first, I Am Dungeon Master (http://writeanything.wordpress.com/
2011/04/06/i-am-dungeon-master/
), is all about the perils of world-
building, and trusting your world to a group of potentially
destructive characters. The second, Player of Games (http://
writeanything.wordpress.com/2011/05/07/player-of-games/ ), discusses
the great level of detail that roleplayers put into their characters,
which effectively start out as a bunch of numbers on a sheet of paper.

The third installment is still pending, and I'm looking forward to
seeing what it will be about!
