is it monday yet?
Sunday, September 15th, 2019 07:53 pmI play DND. I mentioned this once in a previous post, but I don't think I adequately explained the effect it has had on me. Sometime in February of last year, ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
enemyofperfect and I -- at my behest -- spent half the night poring over character creation, and I downloaded the Lost Mine of Phandelver module -- because I couldn't help myself -- and we rolled a couple of the pregen character sheets, just to test it with. We didn't want to homebrew something, or play with these characters we made, when after all… what if we didn't like it? Well, apparently we do like it, because we've been playing almost every week for a year and a half, seventy sessions next Monday and who knows how many hours all together.
( DND is a tool for the development of personhood, fight me (ง'̀-'́)ง )
But I digress. What I'm trying to say is that DND is good for people on many levels, and everyone should be playing. Waking up at 2:00am and talking hypotheticals until dawn, until I was too drunk on sleeplessness to be shy and scared, until I said "Hey, do you want to play a small module…?"
I'm pretty sure it was the best thing I ever did for myself.
