This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: SeveredFane on December 16, 2024, 10:25:34 PMI am not being certain I understand why this would be beneficial.  In Spaint, it was being hard enough to find groups of which to play without them being hidden in secrecy.  One of my great joys upon moving to the United States was in being how easy it became to find friends of which to play games.

One of my friends in I believe Madrid said that at the time there were still laws outlawing RPGs. Think the supposed reason was "its gambling!" which is the fallback the Satanic Panic nuts declare when bible thumping doesnt get what they want. I'd like to hope that this is not still in effect. But we all know how stupid people can be long after. Theres still to this day places in the US that are hosile to RPGs or D&D in particular.

It's a secret society masquerading as a hobby. SO secret even the members don't know it's secret.

TTRPGs are just games. Friends are forever.
