This is great, esp because this was me! I am now in my second ever campaign and loving it. Now I must protect the new fans haha
Aww! Thank you so much for your compliment and I’m glad it resonated with you.
I understand critical role is on campaign three what’s your favorite?
And you have a character class that you long to play next time?
I just want to mention one of the reasons why I made this meme is that oh wow how about 20 years ago my first gaming group that I still talk to to this day and call my brothers.
They were is different from me. It’s night and day. I’m gay they were at the time thinking they were all straight.
I didn’t drink they were huge drinkers, I had only experimented with weed. They were professionals.
And the biggest difference was I was autistic and they weren’t.
My Therapist says that they were the source of my positive masculinity images. That basically, they helped teach me to be a real boy. to be my kind of man. I kind gentle person who’s ready to protect those who need it.
I told them that a few months ago and one of my friends said we never thought of you as weird or awkward. You were just a sweet, funny friend who we fell in love with right away.
My friend, I hope you make lifelong friends with your gamer group.
Thanks again for your awesome comment.
That's a fantastic story, and it's one of the reasons I also fell in love with everything - the community feels very welcoming. I hear the other stories of problematic players (and I watched all of C1 of CR so I did see a bit in Orion), so I know it's not all roses but it really seems like most people try to be very accepting. It's really great that it was such a positive influence on you.
For CR, I still think C2 is my favorite, but C3 is getting pretty damn crazy right now so tough to say. All of them have been pretty great.
For D20, also very difficult although I think the funniest, and therefore my recommendation for noobs, have been Starstruck, the Seven, and Escape from Bloodkeep. Fantasy High is straight gold also.
So far I've played a stars druid and now I'm multi classing fighter/wiz (only level 3 tho so not very far in). I'm def trying to play a pally and a bard next, but eventually want to try basically everything lol.
