I think there are inside jokes that only the tabletop DnD people catch too.

Ok, that makes alot of sense. I’m like the person who watched the movie and think I know what the book is like (but really the book is much better).

That’s really social and positive.

In a way, you respect yourself by not sinking to their level.

DnD is kind of a cross between improv, telling stories, and a choose-your-own-adventure, from what I gather from my spouse who runs games for a living. Playing Baldurs Gate 3 was really eye opening and I think the game helps one understand the appeal of tabletop RPGs a bit better.

Sunwise and widdershins! Only heard the term when I met some witches. IRL witches! It’s a thing.
