Today's question is about the aspect of RPGs that has had the biggest effect on me. I would have to say the aspect that has affected me the most is the fact that role-playing games invite the player to actively create their own content and material. When I was young I spent hours reading through rulebooks, setting material, and modules. I played very little during my younger years. What I did do was imagine characters and adventures in my mind. I would conjure dire dungeons and populate them with monsters and traps. I would imagine heroes fighting their way through the dungeons to their doom. RPGs gave me the tools, materials, and paradigm to bolster my imagination.

This has had the biggest impact on me. Throughout my life I like to use my imagination. When I am trying to solve a problem I like to think of unorthodox, imaginative solutions. I like to create campaigns and adventures that are novel and exciting. I feel that RPGs are exercise for my imagination. To me this is the most important thing that RPGs can do for us.
