>>Too terrified to actually meet any of these people Get over it, my dude. You're pretty low right now,but think of it this way: none of these people care about what you look like or what kind of loser you are. They just want to play a game too. You'll do. Go and play with them right the fuck now.

I would play with you, user. Go ask around in your FLGS, they'll point you toward some DM for sure. People are understanding these days. D&D will help you out a whole lot, in more ways you think it will.

Jeremiah Harris

Gabriel Williams
Thanks for the encouragement. I tell myself many of the same things you say. I might just be feeling extra shitty because of the cold.
I'll have to figure out what FLGS is, and then try my luck with that. There is one local drop in group that plays DnD here. I have contacted them, but holy hell did my anxiety ramp up after that. I really need to get back to my doctor and see if he'll refill my prescription. They hate giving you any meds that actually work.
Hygiene is a challenge. However, I wouldn't dare go out in public without a shower. Your words do encourage me.
Thank you.
Thank you. Makes me feel better.

I do not understand why this is so common. Would you schedule something on the day your bowling club meets up, or during baseball practice? These are all group based activities, schedule your dates on another night.
Like, anniversaries, holidays, birthdays, I get all that. Those are perfectly valid reasons to miss a session. But why the fuck not ask the girl if she's down for dinner the *next* fucking day?

Your DM is a nigger. >t. GM who runs games Saturday night and Friday night and thus misses the two prime nights for dates, even flaking off a friends offer to set you up with someone because you didn't want to spend 30 bucks meeting some bitch you probably won't even like anyway, whereas d&d is usually guaranteed fun, and if not, at least it's free
Christian Jackson
Your wife's social events are her fucking someone more alpha than you. You got that illness from another man. LOL
Mason Ortiz
>Explain to your mother that it's a form of socialization and yes, some people who play it are single. Some GIRLS who play it are single. Gotta be honest man, no one is getting laid because of DnD. The chances of finding someone that is:
> a Girl that plays DnD > single > fuckable > Wants to fuck anyone who plays DnD
are basically none. Been playing this shit my entire life and that is my opinion. But again, playing DnD don't stop you from getting chicks in other regular situations, such as meeting them at clubs, bar, parks, wherever. Unless one spend his entire time playing with his fat nerd friends.
Also, personal advice: I like scheduling my group's sessions on monday because that is the day that is less likely for something to show up and get in the way of DnD. , if you play on Fridays, you are bound to have people missing sessions to do regular sociable stuff.

now i'm even considering inviting her to play with us. Anyone has any opinion/suggestion about this?
Carson Bell
Do it. Maybe lean ever so slightly on the RP side and less on murderhobo side for a while; but I met plenty female players that totally are into just rolling dice and killing shit. Also, tone down the amount of dick jokes, misogyny and whatnot during your games, at least until she has time to adapt. And don't tell me you don't do dick jokes and such at your table. We all know you do.
Henry King
As long as you trust your friends (and yourself) not to sperg out around a cute girl then invite her and see how things go.
Hunter Jenkins
Welcome to the best timeline, user. If you don't sperg out about "reeeee normies invading my raison d'être hobby" like half the Veeky Forums does, you can get a lot of good, socially speaking, from the whole D&D resurgence thing.
Jayden Fisher
His wife is either fat and disgusting or cheats on him. Or both. No sane women would put up with a disabled, antisocial, manchild
Christian Young
given her partying without him i'd bet the latter.
Dylan Powell
She's a nice girl, and our group is really ok. We are a bit geek but not in a overly awkward way. Though to be honest I'm a lot more insecure about inviting her because I'm the DM rather than the DnD thing itself. What if shit gets weird about it? What if the other players feel like I'm giving her too much attention? What if she thinks I'm being mean or something? I think I might invite her to my other group where we play FATE and I'm not the DM. As a player I might be more able to give her attention and smooth things over (i'm assuming she never played).
But I really feel weird about having her on the same group I DM.
I'm also unsure about how much of a gamer is she (though she doesn't seems to be much into it). Last night I taught her to play a card game (like MtG) that I like, and I think she had an ok experience playing it (though the fact I played a gayass control strategy might have not been the best move ever).
But i'm really impressed how she is totally ok with all my geekness
Gabriel Cox
You're worrying to much
Just show her an episode of critical role or something so she gets a feel for what a game is like. If she shows interest make her a character or better yet let her make one.
Either that or tell her to come by towards the end of a session so she can watch and you guys can be done with it if she doesn't like it

>some bitch you wouldn't even like anyway I'm sure the reason you're alone is because your standards are too high, you fucking mouth breathing manchild
Henry Sullivan
Like I don’t blame him. He was one of the few people at the table who’s never had a SO and he usually has a six day work week. So I’m happy for him, it’s just that our other host also isn’t above skipping DnD for a date.
The week after I had to run the game, we didn’t have one because we had no place to play, the following week DM hosted but we only played for a hour and left us with a cliff hanger and then we didn’t play the week after that.
I’m just bummed because our group has been together for two years and it’s the primary source of my social interaction.
Dylan Fisher
Not sure you even need to give her that much attention, I'm sure she can infer about how the game works if you show her a critical role video or something, otherwise the babysitting may make you lose your mind and you may not be able to have fun while she just may feel like you see her like she can't figure stuff out on her own, or that there is a clear-cut way to roleplay/have fun playing tabletop shit

>explain tabletop games to my mom >"GMing sounds like a lot of work, why would anyone agree to do that?" Ahaha They don't, mom
Kevin Ortiz
>GMing sounds like a lot of work, why would anyone agree to do that?" Typically because they have some kind of worldbuilding and story they want to wank over. If those that can't do teach, it's those that can't author that DM. Alternately they're a Gygax style DM, where story barely matters and it's all about putting the PCs in crazy, life-threatening situations then cackling maniacly.

I actually do GM a shadowrun game, and it's definitely the former for me. I have this story idea that's super dumb that I think is hot shit and want to try and share.
Reminds me of my GM. Dude seems prepared for fucking anything we do. It's incredible.
Luke Brooks
Honestly believe she thought she was being helpful and supportive of my new hobby. She wanted me to have all the books. She didn't consider how much money everything was going to be and how long it would take me to pay it off out of my monthly savings. Nor, did she understand that I could get everything half price ordering online. Honestly, I should have put my foot down and said no to everything. I was kind of distracted by taking to the owner about his store and it's the most social interaction I've had in maybe three years, so it was all a lot for me to take in at the same time. In short, I take responsibility for my lack of backbone that day.
Kayden Morales
I must the most beta alpha chad in existence.
I'm glad I can bring gratitude into your life user. I'm grateful my life isn't worse than it is.
Online dating works miracles. While most women want a man with money, a career, a car, or drugs. Other women, particularly older women, are lonely and sometimes willing to settle.
Haven't cashed in the husband points yet, but might be able to use some of them to offset the cost of the books. Wife controls all of the money, so if I behave I might be able to cash in a few points.
Thank you for stoking the fires of my paranoid fears user.
Thanks. It's appreciated.
Meh. It could always get worse.
Sadly, this is my life.
Evan Ross
>Wife controls all of the money, so if I behave I might be able to cash in a few points.
This... Really sounds unhealthy, user. Are you sure everything's okay?
Ayden Ramirez
It is unhealthy, and I lost what little dignity I had years ago, but that's a problem with the welfare system. One couple. One check. Have fun arguing with your case worker about it. I know a woman who had to share her check with here elderly mother for years because they treated them like a single unit. Then they got investigated because their landlord had a last name that sounded like it might be related to them even though it clearly wasn't. Our welfare system is fucked beyond belief.
