Instead of ‘Dungeons and Dragons’ you’ve been invited to play ‘Truckstops and Tweakers’. What’s it like?

      Is swagger the equivalent to rizz here, because tweakers can be pretty fucking funny sometimes when they’re not blitzed put of their skull.

    Every 30 minutes you have to make a perception check and then either a persuasion check or evasion check as the crack head keeps asking for money and trying to stab everyone with a broken rusty pipe.

    Too real. Pass.

    I play dungeons and dragons to escape a bit of reality, and explore the magical and fantastical side of ourselves. Not think about crack houses and depression.

    Edit: changed You to I

      Don’t tell me how to play. 🤪🤓 Besides, games were invented to teach, to assist in participants’ betterment. You play d&d to escape, but let’s not assume everyone does, nor that your way is The Way™, right? 🙇🏽‍♂️

        More of a fault of the English language than the other commenter, imo.

        We need a general “you” vs. a personal “you”.

        We do have “one”, but it sounds overly formal/stiff.

          I can see your point, and while I agree that English can be frustratingly obtuse at times, between speaker and audience, the district between “one” and “you” in this instance belies the same presumptive view on the hobby’s salient purpose itself. Editing it to “I” is not only more honest, but empowering as well: owning one’s opinions is not weakness, but propping them up with assumed generalities tends to devalue them, instead. 🤓🤗
