Poser to me is all that I can never be, either born too late, or far too soon. Poser is my way to let the things I think about out. Sometimes they are things that are important to the world, but most times not. Where AD&D, and a ton of other role playing games allowed me to study facets of who I am, or experiment with the mix of things that make me who I am and see how I might be if things were different. Poser allows me to bring these characters I played for 27 years out of my head and on to a place where others can see close duplicates of the way I saw characters. Poser allows me to excersise the one thing the rest rest of the world would rather I didn't, my imaginatation. I can create what I want, the way I think the would should, or could be if things were different. a place where everything and everyone regardless of rank or station, or money, or gender, or race , or faith, or whatever, all have the same value. and that value is priceless.
