The party I'm going to isn't until tomorrow, so I don't know. Probably shorts and a t-shirt.

It accidentally fell into my shopping basket while I was on DriveThru; don't know how it happened.
That's my story, and I'm sticking to it (I've already spent more than I should have, this month...)

I think my son is a more grounded version of this. He loves D&D and has a very good memory; even though he is usually a player, he has read the DMG and several bestiaries, and he remembers most of them.

I’ve only played D&D with him once; we were both players. More than once he asked the DM a question about a rule the DM either changed or got wrong; he got a somewhat testy “Just go with it” or similar each time. He’s got enough social skills to read the room, so he did. I don’t think he was trying to be That Guy, but I can also see how it might be frustrating if you actually do know the rules to have things not work as you expect.

Edit: perhaps also important, he was the only teenager at a table of adults and was aware he was only there essentially as my guest, so there was a bit of a power imbalance that might not exist when everyone is an adult.

I have to say when I play any game, I expect it to be played RAW...UNLESS it is agreed to by the table or a legit mistake.

This is why I am not one of those D&D is the only game type. It is also why I am always pushing OSR games. Often, they are the way DMs ACTUALLY run D&D but then when offered, players often whine either A) Why do I have to learn different rules for basically the same game OR B) Why not just play D*D version 2, 3.5, or 5...never realizing the OSR game matches more with the way they actually play than official D&D.

Meanwhile, if someone says, we play with X, Y, Z rules changes, that's totally fine.

I would suggest a geeklist where we can share what we're reading, playing, excited for, etc, and if people occasionally want to give things away there to clear shelves it keeps folks connected. I'd ask that we keep it mostly spoiler-free.

Perhaps folks have those outlets already? If so please share.

A little late to the party, but since you asked for specific recommendations:

I like this geeklist titled "What RPG book are you reading right now." I've learned quite a few new games from that one, and the other one "What RPG did you just buy" (linked in the former Geeklist's header).

I second following these threads

Very cool, thanks for sharing!
