the only thing ive learned at engineering school is DONT GO ON PLANES WHATEVER U DO DONT GET ON THOSE FUCKING PLANES PLEASE NO NOT THE PLANES
for all the people who got into ttrpgs through things like critical role and dimension 20 and want to start playing themselves, I urge you strongly before you join full campaigns, to play in one shots, trust me they are a life saving stepping stool into learning how to play longer campaigns. I can understand wanting the longer narrative that full campaigns can offer but the skills that cannot be learned from watching others play (which trust me there are alot more than u think there are), can be learned at at least a basic level with shorter games and one shots, which have way less pressure and are much more suited to being a learning environment. Alot of people I know who just got into D&D recently think they can just jump into campaigns and it will be just like what they imagine and get disappointed and also overwhelmed by how much learning is required. One shots and shorter games help so much with just understanding improv, how a games mechanics works, and how to work with other people in telling a story while being a much smaller stakes activity. And I know alot of people are into TTRPGs for the long complex narratives but trust me even shorter plots can be complex and interesting and also I have to add REALLY funny because making stupid shit intrinsic to the world is alot easier when you dont have to uphold said stupid shit for many many sessions. And if u are like me you will come to love one shots just as much and sometimes even more than the much longer ones.
About twenty years back, there was this weird transitional period after companies had figured out that harvesting their users' demographic information was a potential gold mine but before we lived in a hellish panopticon where any website operator could look up your IP address and know what you had for breakfast where some sites would try to get you to fill out, like, detailed demographic surveys before they'd let you access their stuff. Not just age, gender and geographic location, either – some of them would fish for employment status, marital status, brand preferences, even religious affiliation. A lot of folks I knew would just pick the first option in every dropdown, but my move was always to fill in the demographic information of the current Pope, at least as far as I was able to determine it (brand preference was always a tricky one). I like to think that, thanks to my efforts, their data sets are haunted to this day by a phantom pontiff.
