I'm starting to feel the first hints of interest in roleplaying again. It started yesterday. It's not quite to the point where I'll start building a campaign or even participating in a game in the immediate future, but the interest is there again ... and it'll likely build slowly over the next few weeks and months. I'm not even sure what set this off. I just know I've gone back to reading the RPG.net forums religiously again, and I'm finding myself staring at my RPG collection with a feeling of longing.

Thinking about D&D changes that feeling into loathing, though, so I know I'm still suffering severe D&D burnout. I was invited recently to participate in an Eberron campaign (as a player, not as the GM), and I had to turn it down. I just can't do the D&D thing again. Not yet. Maybe not for a very long time.

You know what probably did it? That damn Paranoia: Mandatory Bonus Fun Card Game. I'll bet that's what did it. Something about that card game brought back the good memories of running that game, and the idea of being able to participate as a Troubleshooter got the creative juices flowing again.
