I really need to rethink my participating in #DungeonAndDragons sessions, along with other #TTRPGs! It never really appealed to me before. 🤔

I might have to start watching more of @nicole #TTRPG content! 🙂

@torspedia Playing TTRPGs, including my weekly games with @apolaine and @leah in the last few years, has utterly changed my life.

I've formed deep friendships with people I hope will be in my life forever. This depth, amidst a sea of online shallowness, has been a lifeline for me. Gaming can also be therapeutic. Funny what you learn about yourself when you THINK you're creating a fictional character.

Shout out to @apontious @SlRvb and @therealfakemoot whom I've played with more recently too! ❤️

@torspedia @nicole @apolaine @apontious @SlRvb @therealfakemoot Be open to playing with many new people to find the ones you click with. Be kind to the ones you do, and to the ones you don’t. Communicate. Appreciate. And most importantly, have fun. It’s in letting go and having fun, I’ve met some wonderful folks who enjoy exploring and getting up to shenanigans as much as I do.
