Any of you guys use tabletop games to escape reality?
I have scoliosis and will have to get spinal fusion surgery. Trying to ignore the fact that I'll have metal rods holding my spine together for the rest of my life by RP'ing and wargaming.

Not escapist on a conscious level, that's just with video games for me. Sorry to hear about that though man, not that it's worth much but I hope for the best for you. Make sure to stay close to your play groups if you have them, and reach out and get some if you don't.
Why is that a bad thing you'll be a cyborg chummer
Spinal fusion will limit spinal movement somewhat. Dunno how much OP needs done though, may be mild, may be severe.

That's nothing to worry about unless you were heavy into gymnastics,
Now, Failed Back Surgery Syndrome?
*THAT* is something to worry about.
They tell you the surgery might help, or it might not.
They don't always tell you it might make it worse.
So....
Yes, I use tabletop games to escape reality.
I use Veeky Forums to escape the reality that I don't have a game.
Have a baby hedgehog.
Nah I just use it as a form of entertainment. I like reality.
I only use it to embrace supernatural thinking, because reality can be mice but is very orderly and boring.
Basically, just want to be a Wizard.
