I guess you were spared the worst case scenario, OP.

Still, there's plenty of games to be played around, you just looking. I live in 600k city and there is like 700-800 people facebook group for LFG. If you aren't very picky getting into a game is easy.
And there's always Roll20 if you can't find a live game

>You break only your bones now, gramps
Oh, they were always my bones that were breaking. I've never been a big enough badass to break anybody else's bones.

>'97 here. Gimme some life advice so that I don't fuck it up.
The older you get, the harder it gets to make more than casual acquaintances. Don't let laziness or indifference separate you from any friends may have made. People do change, and sometimes differences become irreconcilable, and you can't stress out too much about that (and you can't give somebody who's turned into an asshole endless second chances), but when possible, try to go the extra mile and keep in touch with people.

I mean I'd help but that's a pretty large area. Come hang out in Črna Luknja sometimes if you're close

Thank you.

'73 here.

>Being this butthurt about being saved from playing ADD
It's like you some special kind of nostalgia faggot.

Also, if you were born in '91, then you had entire early and mid 00's, aka the last time the hobby was revelant in post-commie nations.

>-Try to connect with God. If it succeeds, you'll feel better. If it fails, you'll have no compunctions about life.
Oh screw this, why didn't you put in first as opposed to next to last? I would've instantly ignored the rest.

You missed shitty translations and that's it. I read a polish Elric book that had his name as Edek.

You should be glad that you've never read about Bulbo Torbins...

This is for preventing future moments of self doubt. Even if you think it is crap, the more rigorously you prosecute this now, the more solid you will be later in life when people try make you doubt your convictions. You'll know that you gave it the best try you could, which negates any "proof" anyone could present to you to sway you.

Also, life gets easier, but less meaningful.* Go on adventures. Do things you'll remember. Suffer if you have to, but embrace the highs of your life, because you'll carry those with you for the rest of your life.

*Barring dramatic life changes, anyway. I can't say what it's like to have kids, for instance. But you kind of get used to life, and nothing is as special anymore when you're old, because you've been there and done that before (or at least something like it).

Oh, and walk. You don't need to kill yourself exercising (I wrecked my knees running), but if you take a few nice, long walks (a half hour at the very least) a week, it'll definitely make a difference in your life, especially as your body becomes less resilient with age. I also get some of my best thinking done when I'm on a walk.

>-Some people carry too much mental burden to benefit from information, you cannot help them with advice.
I would expand on this and say that people have to make their own mistakes. You can give people advice, but most of the time, they will pay you little heed, and you have to be able to accept that. Don't wash your hands of what you see as their stupidity, just acknowledge your limited role in their decision-making and be available to provide emotional support, or more advice that they will probably ultimately ignore.

Hey man I run a living game here on Discord

>Do things you'll remember. Suffer if you have to, but embrace the highs of your life, because you'll carry those with you for the rest of your life.
But, I should add, don't wreck your life by completely ignoring the "adult", responsible shit you know you should be doing to build yourself a better future. Life is all about balance. Don't stress out too much, because in a few years, you probably won't even remember most of the shit that's worrying you now, but don't use this as an excuse to completely slack off. Do the shit you need to, but don't kill yourself trying to do everything, or trying to get it all perfect. Just do the best you can and be at peace. The best you can is good enough.

Picture this: next year, a kid born in the year 2000 will not be underage and will technically be able to post here.

>tfw despite being 19 the people that share my hobby of historical wargaming are old enough to be my dad

That just breaks me.

Adventurer's League is shit. It's like going to a store that sells good food, but the only thing you can buy and eat there is a shitty mystery-meat on a bun sandwich. You're miles better off if you get something pre-packaged and take it home to enjoy with friends, and the experience is at its best (though perhaps less without knowledge and practice, in that case get premade) when you and your friends pick out the ingredients and cook yourself.

So don't feel bad about not being able to play neutered pub D&D, the living campaign thing is bollocks anyways. Get some good friends and bring your own world that you can actually bring to life yourself.

That's exactly why.
