I must be in the minority when it comes to slipping behind my eyelids to interact with whoever or whatever I happen to find there. I don't find it strange. On the contrary, it's one of the best things I can ever imagine doing and to my mind is very nearly proof of divinity, if only it weren't ruined by the need to re-enter the 'real' world at some point.
I also enjoy writing, although I've got out of the habit and am poorer for it. So, I thought I'd combine the two and build a world within which to play. This is the space in the real world that will mirror that internal world.
Plenty of people have created worlds within which to wander, whether that be through fiction or film or indeed RPGs. Most of what you'll find here will come under the third heading of RPGs, but a good portion I hope will also be fiction. I've made a tentative start on a poem that describes the world I'm inhabiting when I slip behind my eyes, including the people I meet there. I intend it to be ongoing, much like the world itself.
Playing an RPG solo, which is my intention isn't the easiest thing to do to be honest. It requires a certain dedication and most definitely a love of your own company. But be that as it may, it'll be an interesting experience and one which I think I'll gain a lot from. And apart from anything else, it's something I've been thinking about for a very long time but have simply put it off.
I think I'll start now though.
