I remember when I first met my D&D group in person (we all originally met in TF2) and none of them looked how I imagined them to look based on their voices. lol
Was fun tho; we almost got kicked out the hotel for being too loud which is funny cuz we were literally just playing D&D all night. Imaging the neighbors that complained being like "I didn't get a wink of sleep last night because these fucking D&D nerds."
When in reality it should be at least near the top. D&D can get really loud without anything particularly big happening. Excitement can be around any corner!
I went to a reddit meetup in the early 2010s and...this is gonna sound like bullshit but it's true....I was shocked at the average attractiveness in the room. Like there were no bombshells but almost everyone was above average. Only one or two that were conventionally unattractive... So I guess no mods were there (badum tsss)
I went to one of those and it was a lot of fun. I was surprised at how well some of those folks connected so quickly (groups of them were immediately playing board games and hanging out). I wish I had half the confidence those people have.
