What's an innocent misconception about your hobby/profession that drives you up the wall?

Like for example, how someone thinks because you work in IT you can fix their TV, or how if you're into music you must be able to play any random instrument.

I just like hearing pros rant about about their very niche problems.

  • People who play tabletop role-playing games have no social skills. Dude, we sit around and talk with real people for literally hours on end - that is literally what the game is!

    Also that Dungeons And Dragons is the only role play game. There are hundreds if not thousands with different themes, focuses, setting, systems and whatever else. DnD is good for high action high fantasy, and if that's your bag that's cool, there's nothing wrong with that. But if you want a renaissance coutly intrigue it is really not!

    • i like the lovecraft games

      • I've played a few games of Call Of Cthulhu, and one of The Laundry. Both have been fun

        • The Laundry? As in Charles Stross' Laundry Files series? If so, cool! Didn't know it had a TTRPG.

          • Yup. It's fun. The game I was in was short lived but entertaining. It uses the regular CoC system with a few adjustments (e.g. experience comes in the form of training courses) so if you know that it'd be easy to pick up, and if you don't... well it'll still be easy to pick up, tbh
