I don’t have suggestions better than those of others; just know I empathise with you.
Also; I call that state Ludo Limbo. The game hasn’t clicked with you, and you’re not having a good time, but for reasons outside your control you’re fucking stuck there.
One member of the group had decided to leave, so wanted a valiant sacrifice for his character, none of the rest of us would leave him behind though, so we almost got TPKd before the DM admitted there was literally no way to win the encounter.
I used to classify these as PICNIC.
Problem In Chair, Not In Computer.
Did I hear a Ding? Gratz!
It’s a very special moment to hold a game you made happen in your hands, I hope it happens many more times for you!
Easy, get Bashir to do a Kurn on them, then send them back to their timeline.
Nothing to add here but you’ve had a bunch of great answers; thanks to all the respondents and to OP for being super candid. This thread was a great read!
I think you’ve got some wonderful answers here already so I just want to add something that a few points brought to mind.
In my opinion one can authentically play a trait without playing a diagnosis. A great example of this is Drax in the MCU. He isn’t “the autistic one” he’s the guy with hyper literal interpretation. That autistic (amongst other classes) people relate that and feel seen isn’t because he’s “being autistic” but because he sees things like them; the other characters regard that and it somewhat authentically shows the outcomes one such person might have in these wild tales.
You can represent elements of neurodivergence without going all in on an ND character that might only serve to entrench stigma.
Did they, or has he taken Rustic Hospitality?
Becky from an accounting is a vegan and you insisted on roasting a boar next to her desk. When she asked you to move you just shouted about already having cast Tiny Hut and that you “weren’t going to break camp now!”
I haven’t done a play challenge since the pandemic hit, but the last couple years I did were 25x4 challenges. Same 100 plays, but far more impetus to play new things and to swap and borrow from friends. The one year I did a 10x10 I felt a disconcerting pressure to fill my card, and that led to me not being a very pleasant participant in game nights.
The best use of this meme format in years.
I was the same. I started listing to podcasts in about 2007, it wasn’t until 2018 I started listening to a Star Trek pod. Ben and Adam are my personal recommendation because they A. Are funny B. Go episode by episode, giving the show a really followable structure C. Used to be film production professionals and pick up on techniques that even I, a fellow film production professional, don’t notice.
They love trek, but will happily rip the arse out of it when deserved.
Mine are similar
Medley and Credits are both wonderful, but to me, including them would not be in the spirit of the rankings.
I can see Lower Decks maybe taking that award, unfortunately I don’t see SNW winning alone, and I strongly suspect Elizabeth Debicki will take the Best Actress Award.
It’s a popular theory that I first encountered on The Greatest Generation, though I think it must have come up organically many times since the 1960s!
They just beam the poops out!
Heads up OP. It could be my app but I don’t see a link in your post.
Don’t we all Brother/Sister/NBer. Don’t we all.
Or even just a genre, some basic gameplay, a bit of art…
In the big old house of fun!
