Oh that is so cool! I have always wanted to try role-playing games the proper way with all the systems and dice rolling, but unfortunately, I have never had the company nor the chance, but I have played some role playing games in a sense of writing a story together with multiple people who play different characters with in a game masters world in a forum type of environment. I loved it! These days I feel I would be confident to attempt drawing my own characters too if I was playing.

Yea, when it comes to brush cleaning, I don't use any special cleaners for it, just warm water and gentile soap. I bet someone with more knowledge probably would shake their head watching me do that too :D
