I like to think there’s something for everybody here, in most genres.
Take a look!

Rory had got himself
#entangled
in a combined quest with other players and he didn’t like it. The rewards were huge, but he didn’t know these people.
His group. He liked playing with his group because he knew them.
Of course, he hadn’t liked them, at first, either.

Rory felt impotent as Alice, his eternal nemesis and sort of, at a stretch, friend, called him something that he had no reply to. Then she killed Pithea. Again.
#Treppenwort
. That’s what the German’s called it. A pithy retort sat at the tip of his tongue, but no further.

Temporarily grouping with someone he didn’t know had proven a mistake for Rory. Pithea could do this group dungeon alone, but extra hands always helped.
If only the other player didn’t have such a
#lackadaisical
attitude to things like self-preservation and strategy.

With the new, incredibly large and time-consuming to download update, Rory was
#astonished
to find the game introduced new quests, new non-player characters and, more importantly, a new currency.
Now he could start saving the new currency.
No real change there, then.

The ancient elven
#librarian
had guarded his charges for centuries. Alone. The repository of knowledge, so vast and wonderful, now faced a threat that could turn it all to ash.
Rory had no choice but to help the wizened old elf.
He loved libraries and books. Loved them!

The man wallowed in a state of
#limerence
, whereby nothing could console him or give him succour for his deep, unrequited love.
Rory had a little sympathy for him, but more for the woman of his affections.
He could choose to help the man, or the woman.
It was no choice.

In the real world, Rory was an
#introvert
with severe social anxiety. In the game he was still an anxious introvert, only he could do it from behind a screen & not worry what anyone thought.
It made group gaming difficult, but he muddled through.
Katie helped, of course.

The demon from the Pits revelled in the
#slaughter
it had wrought, parading through the bodies of the dead as though committing every cut and slash to memory, awaiting the forthcoming attack from Rory & the surrounding players.
It was often so. A pause before the storm.

It wasn’t for Rory to
#disapprove
of the multitudes fighting duels around the fast-travel hub in the town, but he did.
It slowed down the game to a snail’s pace and, though the PvP’ers complained about the lag, they still fought in the same place.
Fools and incompetents!

Rory made his
#breakfast
with an absent mind, lost in the intricacies of strategy and planning for the group dungeon that awaited him.
It was a difficult one, for certain, but his team could handle it.
With toast dangling from his lips, he wandered back to the game.

The battle music ebbed and flowed as the surrounding players battered the beast, whittling down its health in a hundred tiny cuts, until it neared the end.
Then the music swelled, reaching its
#crescendo
as the monster fell.
Plunder taken in a flurry and all were gone.

Rory gazed at the aftermath of the quest. Many people saved, but the castle returned from the amorphous OtherRealm now shattered and broken.
And the object? The item of power he had searched for?
#Fractured
and blackened.
Rory would get his experience and reward anyway.

The game didn’t have many griefers, those anger-fuelled people that did nothing but abuse other players, but Rory heard one now. His
#pejorative
, invective filled rant roaring over headsets.
He wouldn’t last long. The developers cracked down on that sort. Fast.

Though ruined, broken and abandoned, the ancient city of the Elder Elves looked etherial and beautiful.
#Architecture
more summoned from some arcane realm than designed and built, the shattered spires still evoked awe.
Rory made tentative steps into the ruin, fascinated.

A single
#dragonfly
flew past Rory’s character. He had changed back to Pithea as he and the group had started playing together more often of late.
The little creature looked almost perfect, but it was only a distraction for the dread dungeon ahead.
Treasures awaited.

The group dungeon had proven relatively easy up to this point, but now they struggled. None of their attacks worked and things looked dire.
Until Michelle told everyone they had to
#excogitate
about the problem.
Rory felt certain using obscure words was not helping.

The sound the creature made reverberated through Rory’s skull, so he couldn’t imagine what it would be like for the characters if they were real.
It mingled with the sound of the crystals in the cave, creating a painful
#resonance
and causing confusion among them all.

This was not what most people enjoyed the game for, but Rory felt as excited by it as any other part.
An
#enlivening
debate about the consequences of the use of magic unfettered, and it had started to get feisty.
Old mages preparing to attack each other was always fun.

Misty breaths on the cool, clear air,
Dew dropped webs on privet hedges,
The impossibly long walk,
To a place I did not wish to be,
When so much wonder abounded before me.

Rory wouldn’t consider himself among the most
#successful
players in the game. He had, pretty much, done every quest, collected most items and collectibles, but he didn’t force himself to, like the completist he was.
In no other place did he ‘go with the flow’, but here.

The group dungeon had a point where monsters spawned at ever higher rates and it threatened to be too much for Rory and his group-mates.
Almost
#overwhelmed
, he gave Pithea a rejuvenating potion and sent her forth to lead the way onward.
They could do this!
Maybe.

Rory had believed the pirate captain had changed her ways, had turned to the side of the righteous, but he was deceived.
She hadn’t changed at all and proved she was only ever
#motivated
by the fortune they had found together.
Live and learn. Trust no-one.
Such a pity.

It was the
#animosity
of privilege that Rory encountered. The brazen uncaring attitude, the lack of empathy while believing themselves absolutely right that often blighted the comfortable to well off.
Rory hated it in real life. More so in the game.
It had all types.
