Feeling Accomplished and a little sad

B.Bear and I finished off our very long roleplay storyline on our message board (it ended up 9 pages long with at least 5 characters played by each of us, excluding armies of guards, golems, and other such things). I'm VERY pleased with how it all came together, and that we were able to tie it together with our upcoming storyline. I love re-reading the entire thread over and over again, seeing how my characters changed and developed, characters who were previously never played becoming very complex in the span of the story, to witness my usually silent gypsy give his first words of wisdom (rather like Silent Bob), watching the friendships begin with some, strengthen with others, and see the seeds of a possible romance that is YEARS in the making start to sprout through the soil.

The sadness, though, is like the feeling you get after reading a really good book. You miss partaking in the story. Thankfully, a few of our characters will be in the next storyline, and we'll both be able to introduce new ones as well. It'll be an all new adventure. And I'm looking forward to that.

Role playing is always fun.

We ended a two year long D&D campaign a week or two ago, now that's depressing :-(
