Painting the figures was the first thing that ever got me thinking about dnd. It sucks I have no one to play with.
When I was 19 or 20 I actually went to a midnight dnd session with some friends that was at the local comic shop. Ive never met more elitist, superior, fucking dicks in my life than that night. Even my buddies turned into fuckin jerkwads. I went there with them saying "its super chill we smoke weed and drink and have a good time" and they knew damn well I was a total rookie noob but we get there and holy shit the guy who owned the comic shop and his other buds were absolute dicks and then my buddies were too. Like fuck you two knew I didn't know anything and you didn't tell me to make a character ahead of time or anything.
Which was a damn shame. Or even if i was aware going in i was supposed to show up with a character and had been given the parameters or whatever for doing that.
If they weren't fucking dickfaces it could have been cool.
Like I've done bjj starting at nearly 30 and knowing fuck all, I've boxed starting in my early 20s and knowing fuck all, I've done kyokushin as a teen knowing fuck all and at any of those basically everyone was super chill and supportive and realized everyone starts somewhere.... that fucking night of dnd I was bullied and ridiculed relentlessly though.
I'm always the complete opposite of that, especially with new players. I want to hook them in, not run them off lol. And I'm damn good at it. Been dm'ing for more than 20 years
I do ban alcohol though
