Reverse unpopular opinion meme: dungeons and dragons

Part of what makes D&D very appealing to the beginner player beyond just being very very popular is that it is extremely low abstraction by default. As a result the amount of stuff to learn to get going is relatively low, you just tell your GM what you want to do and then they tell you to make a roll.

A lot of what makes the Indie Games work is the abstracting away of moment to moment details in order to do big narrative and theme things, but there is something very fun about this kind of deep micromanagement of every single thing about your character that is really good for getting you invested in your characters and settings, even once you have gotten past the initial stage of asking your GM for everything and you have a good idea of how what you ask to do will be handled through the skills and stats and feats.

There is something to be said for a game that gets you to ask your GM to come up with a tavern for every little town, with a guard who you can talk to when you're lost, with a source for every quest, with a store where you can buy potions, and that needs you in turn to worry about what's in your backpack, what spells you've studied, where you're staying tonight, and whether you're sleeping in your armour.

Of course a lot of people end up abstracting this away even in D&D, and this makes sense at times, but if you are playing a conventional campaign running the town generation tables and random encounters and checking whether you have armour fatigue and so on gives you a lot of free setting flavour.

time travelling harry being slightly fond of orion black because he looks and sounds so much like sirius, but soon realising he’s actually unbearingly and unbelievably fond of orion himself… orion being baffled, suspicious and quite flattered that someone likes him for him, not just for his last name or status as heir, and promptly deciding he’d die for harry… tom seething with jealousy watching them hang out and being generally attached the hip, knowing he can’t kill orion because 1) harry would NEVER forgive him or talk to him again, and 2) it’d be a shame to alienate the ancient and most noble house of black by getting rid of their heir

She would be a haunted house kid in high school.

After this it was agreed that Mabel has to give some warning before she pops up after more practice so as to not give anyone a heart attack.

the universal bl drama fandom experience of making a post about a crazy gay thing some characters did only for several unsuspecting souls on a completely different corner of tumblr* to assume this is one of those "imagine your ship" posts and start reblogging it with tags like #i want a fic of this sooooo bad! or #omg this is sooooo [insert ship name** here]... like i truly love that for you but this is not a hypothetical. i literally watched two men do that last week on my tv screen. this is not a fanfic prompt. we have insane gay ppl here.

*western media fandom, usually

**i swear it's always either house md, hockey fandom, or those 911 guys who just became canon bisexual (good for them)
