Legend of the Green Dragon
I know there are some gamers who read this blog. Even if you're not a self-identified gamer, you might consider trying the leisurely pace of this text-, and browser-based game, Legend of the Green Dragon.
I've been playing this game for almost two years now, and it's deceptively simple. There's depth here, and quite a bit of fun, if you take the time to explore the various classes and the towns. The charge you'll experience when you hit the high levels and kill the Green Dragon for the first time is quite invigorating.
The server this game's on is run by my good friend, Paleck. The game's totally free, totally fun, and it's a low population server, which means that you'd have a chance at creating a character that's prominent in the game universe.
