I set my dads as LAN Down Under

Welcome to the Jungle

Might as well, they can do no wrong in the eyes of our esteemed leaders…

It is here in Texas too…

That cost is always paid in blood

You act like they wouldn’t vote for his corpse

Brainsssss…

One thing I’ve found that helps is not watching trailers and reading articles/threads. I’ll watch a single trailer, usually the first one and then ignore everything else. Now I get to discover everything on my own and don’t have a ton of preconceived notions and opinions already in my brain when I first boot it up.

It’s made my gaming experience a hell of a lot more enjoyable again

They literally got rid of the deli meats counter because they voted to unionize. They are completely anti union

I’d shop at a store named Trader Squids, that sounds awesome

I’d recommend an in-person game of Pathfinder or DnD. The great thing about the game for me is getting rid of the electronics for a while and trying to be as creative as possible. If you can think it up, and convince the DM, you can do it be anything you want. Be as creative as you want. Come up with a character and their backstory and have fun.

Once you’ve played for a bit and have a good handle on things trying DMing. I was more afraid than I should have been and found that it is a ton of fun. Between getting to come up with and run the games I like to add my own twists and turns, bring things from previous sessions in as a surprise and most of all I love to see the creativity from the players and seeing how they ~~fuck up all my carefully laid plans~~ come up with amazing ideas and surprise me.

It can be an amazing outlet and a place to make some new friends. If you find a group that doesn’t work with you don’t be afraid to find a different one though, and remember that it’s meant to be fun.
