--- author: Eric Wagoner date: '2002-02-27T03:40:54' draft: false title: Progress Quest --- It's been a long time since I've done any role playing. Six or eight years, I guess. I've looked at some of those on-line role playing games, where you wander around and interact with this gigantic virtual world, but they all cost a lot of time and money. There's considerable investment involved for even small progress in the games. That's why I was so excited to find [Progress Quest](http://www.progressquest.com/). With their new "fire and forget" technology, your character mkes progress with or without you. In fact, while I've been busily working at work, [my Battle-Finch](http://progressquest.com/hi.php?name=Snitzle) has been making a name for himself, executing evil monsters and fulfilling various quests. It's about time for me to go home, where farm work awaits, but my Snitzle will progress through the night.
