shoveling glass into my mouth it’s like... you’re standing at the side of the road comfortably leaned against your old car and there’s an ancient cosmic monster who’s seen more than you could ever comprehend standing beside you. you know it’s impossibly strong and powerful but when you look at it it’s just barely smaller than you and its face isn’t anything special but for some reason you can’t stop looking at it. you’re still figuring it out. you crack a joke and it doesn’t understand because why would it, and when it twists its face in confusion and says something awkward you feel a fond, involuntary smile tugging at your lips. it makes your heart flutter and you blush because it’s cute

One of the things I resent most about being Animal Brain Apex Predator trapped in Maximum Productivity Society is that I have to work when the weather is gross, instead of following my natural instinct to burrow myself into something dry and soft and sleep until Optimal Foraging Conditions

It is dark and cold and wet and miserable and I have a warm dark quiet hideaway full of food and drinking water that is safe from interlopers and for some ungodly reason instead of holing up there to conserve my energy, I am standing up in a brightly lit beige room for several hours. A possum wouldn't put up with this shit. I'm going to bite someone

Imagine your kids straight up inventing a completely new rules-lite roleplaying game completely separate from D&D during a car trip and then you somehow take it as an example of the flexibility and adaptability of D&D.

I wish all DnD people a very play some indie ttrpgs

He's probably just using d&d as shorthand for all TTRPGs. Y'all don't need to be so bad faith and nasty about a wholesome post damn

Yeah

[crop of original post screenshot shows text reading "and RPGs in general"]

Also sounds to me OP is probably using the same language shorthands he used with the kids themselves, and/or being aware of the wider non-TTRPG-audience of his Facebook friends - if I have to talk about Any vaguely D20-based game with my family, I'm calling it D&D, because I've explained that and they know what it is.

Basic etiquette when you're talking about someone's interests:

✅ Do: Encourage people to engage in examples of the hobby outside of the one big popular one

❌ Don't: shit on them for using the language of the big popular one, regardless of their reasons, or for enjoying it to begin with
