Finally.

I've finally done it. Despite my overall desire to live an isolated life, there was one bastion of social interaction I had left that I genuinely wanted to get into, aside from my guitar.

That bastion is table-top gaming. Specifically D&D.

Been quite ill the last few days so have been bedridden.

Used the time to browse Reddit and on my city's sub, stumbled across a link to local Facebook group that holds weekend game meets.

Joined the group, asked some questions. Really friendly bunch of people. When I've recovered from this illness I'm hoping to attend so I can finally get involved with the game, which I've wanted to start playing for years.

Don't try to get into your guitar.
You won't be able to put it together the way it was and even if you do, it won't play the same, anymore. :LOL:


(in all seriousness, though, yay. Go for it. :) )

Took me a while to catch the joke there. For a moment I thought you were saying I should give up trying to learn it LOL.

Also incidentally, here's Internet used as a proper "social tool". Thumbs up, you'll have fun.

Yeah I think I will mate. Many people keep telling me that I need to socialise more, as in up from my current not-at-all, but the normie activities bore me at best, terrify me at worst.

So when I finally find a nearby table-top guild that is really just a ferry across the harbour away, and a short bus ride to a metal pub... Yes, it's a metal/rock music pub. This just gets better. Sunday meets are also right at midday so that makes things a lot easier for me to get into as well.

But yeah I was like when I saw this group, "right mate, this is probably the only time you're gonna' get to do something social with people on something that you will actually enjoy, so bloody join that Facebook group, chat, and be chill."

I do not regret it. Hopefully I'll be going to my first game next Sunday.

Plus I believe you are going to find out that (if I can talk from experience with my D&D groups in the far past) you are by far not the weirdest dude in the room, which can be refreshing. :LOL:

I mean... back in the 90s we had this one guy who had a collection of his previous beards at home... so..

They were his, but they weren't beards.

It gets better. All my talk of getting into D&D has reawakened the DM in a good friend of mine, and he's sorted out a party to hold games over Discord.

No man is an island,
Entire of itself,
Every man is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thy friend's
Or of thine own were:
Any man's death diminishes me,
Because I am involved in mankind,
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
It tolls for thee.
