My friend Fiona calls them 'nerd games'. Rhys taught me how to play! You basically just roll a pair of dice and make stuff up while you pretend to be a wizard!
Well, I think what it does is let you pretend to be someone you can't or won't be in real life, but in a safe space where everyone else is pretending too. So say if you're a sorceress, you could be an accountant, or a giraffe, or a robot or something.
Plus it's fun! You should definitely give it a try and see if you like it.

Date: 2020-03-31 02:32 am (UTC)I don't want to pretend to be anything. What a stupid waste of time. What does it accomplish?

Date: 2020-03-31 03:07 am (UTC)Oh man, this is going to be so much fun. We need one or two more people if we're going to play. Who do you like here?
Re: [Video] [Night]
Date: 2020-03-31 03:25 am (UTC)Oh, very well I...
[Hm. Who here does she actually like? It's taking her a suspiciously long time to answer this question.]
Do you know Freeza?
Re: [Video] [Night]
Date: 2020-03-31 03:35 am (UTC)How about you invite him, and I'll bring the game, and we can meet up in the lounge to play?
Re: [Video] [Night]
Date: 2020-03-31 04:02 am (UTC)We'll see what this fuss is about. But, if I don't like it. I won't continue.

Re: [Video] [Night]
Date: 2020-04-02 02:59 am (UTC)But I will study it. [If only to keep from looking like a fool in front of the others.]
