Role-Playing

Last summer, I ran a roleplaying game set in the world of Yrth from the GURPS Fantasy book. Throughout our five or six meetings that summer, the crew fought pirates and explored the strange and magical ring islands, cataloguing their findings to report to the Aralaise government. Tonight we had the finale, which was a lot of fun, and very satisfying for all of us, as it concluded the campaign and gave everyone an opportunity to be awesome.
I was going to write at greater length about the awesome things that the players did, but then I had to take Sean home. At one point ended up driving on the wrong side of the road just as a policeman turned onto that road. Once he realized I hadn't been drinking he ended up letting me go with a warning to be more careful and not do anything stupid, like going drinking. I dropped Sean off at his house and got onto the highway, but following the highway back home proved to be an adventure in itself, burning a quarter-tank of gas and finding myself halfway to Cincinnati on two occasions.
My life feels meaningful right now. God made it feel meaningful in much the same way that He makes tables feel hard or water feel wet. He made it feel meaningful by giving it meaning.
