I used to play a lot of RPGs, but don't any more after moving away (literally) from all my RPG friends. We do play sometimes the few times we meet up, but for me it was never fully satisfactory. To make a long story short, I was more interested in exploring ideas, styles and themes through RPGs that are far away from your typical D&D dice rolling game. Games like Prime Time Adventure, that are more about improvisation, acting, story and interesting characters, than stat grinding and rolling dice. I would kind of like to get together a new RPG group where I live now, but I think it would be hard to find one that shares my ideas. That said I was never addicted to RPGs.
Being addicted to fantasy and RPGs is different from many other addictions, because in theory you could make your addiction into a career (it's harder to make smoking or drinking into a career
). Quite a few people make a living from doing fantasy related work. Have you considered this?
