So I've never played a tabletop game before, vaguely know how you go about it (tons and tons and tons of dice), and am a huge procrastinator.

So what's the most logical thing to do?

Start a tabletop RP campaign based off the still developing world of a novel that I'm planning on writing.

ILU~

I think that I should just own up to how hard this will be and attack it hand and foot, doing my best and hope that I'm successful. If not, then I'll go back to being a Bard in D&D, singing fables about will-o-whisps and werebears.

maybe I can pass on this half-assery to future generations and they'll adhere to silly rules that I put in place such as: Every adventure must start with one REALLY drunk night.
