Endless possibilities

I fell in love with role-playing games when I was 13 years old. Back then, RPG was not so popular and it was a chore to find people who shared the same interest and schedule as me.

so went an article in AllMalaysia.Info, amusingly they mentioned a non-malaysian originating boardgame as a “malaysian” culture. but that’s besides the point. perhaps boardgames actlly has made such a HUGE impact on the malaysian scene? oh yeah well everyone feast on the article! (yes i did stumble upon it while doing my LAN research)…

it came under “Malaysiana”…

An array of symbols, flags, emblems, practices, lingo and wacky objects help define what Malaysia is and what it means to be Malaysian. Here we collect them and name them simply as “Malaysiana”.

here’s the link itself! it’s reproduced below incase it’s ever removed… boy visitors in the far future wouldn’t wanna miss this article anyway. http://allmalaysia.info/news/story.asp?file=/2003/9/26/pastimes/6351384&sec=mi_pastimes
