Tabletops!, A place to discuss TP-RPGs Options

[Arcry]

So this part of the forum seemed kinda unused so I thought - 'Hey! Why not make a thread about Tabletops in the Roleplaying section! Not sure if I'm the only one, but I play a lil every monday with my group and thought, if anyone else played or was interested, this could be a place to post stories and the like. Maybe past Characters, future characters, ect.

For me it was all because I was Queer. I was not Out at that time of course. But ever since I was old enough to know anything, I knew I was different from everyone else. I knew that the world I lived in was not made for me, and was not particularly welcoming to me. So I started looking elsewhere. That is what got me into reading sci-fi and fantasy, and history. They were ways that I could escape from the real world that I was trapped in, at least for a little while.

In my early teens I suffered from major depression, to the point of being suicidal. I went to a psychologist, and he is actually the one who suggested I try playing D&D. He got me in touch with some gamers, and I just sort of branched out from there. For me role-playing was an even better escape from the ugliness of the real world than reading books.

I’m super glad that psychologist prescribed something that worked for you. I haven’t been around here very long, relatively, but I greatly value your advice and feedback about the things I post, and I know others feel the same. We are lucky to have you here!

I was introduced to D&D early last year by my GF. I find it to be a good creative outlet.
