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.

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!
