playing ttrpgs is wildly less insufferable than watching people discuss ttrpgs in theory

it's great. It's apples to apples but with endlessly more stupid rear end arguments online. It's a goldmine for dysfunctional human beings like me.

Lurking trad games has both made me want to play ttrps and also never ever play ttrps, ever.

Board games are neat, though.

anyway you should deffo round up some friends and play a ttrpg with them, it's good, wholesome fun. Just don't play a dysfunctional game.

I enjoy playing shadowrun as a giant troll

It's way simpler than mission impossible style and ends up being really fun

I played some computer game as a kid, it allowed you to play Ogre Ninjas

so ever since then I've been fascinated by and prone to laugh at giant horrible creatures in social or sneaky roles if a game allows it
