Yeah DnD isn’t really competitive, everyone there is there to cultivate the most fun situation they can.
Although I feel like if you get into groups where they’re trying to lean to hard into the role playing aspect of the game you can meet some real fucking weirdos.
Agreed, but it depends on how they roleplay. As a DM i was very roleplay heavy and did voices for characters and tried to set the scene, but it was always lighthearted and fun. Like kobolds for instance, they always have a nasally voice and heavy lisp. I'm lucky that my groups were usually really into roleplay as well, and it was great. Some weird stuff happens ofc but it's all in the context of the game. Like when we were playing Tomb of Annihilation (i didn't DM), one of the players ended up in a relationship with one of those cat people because he was one of the turtle people and it was really really funny.
