[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

[Spiritmon]

IRL D&D is always much better. Sometimes you'd be surprised who can have a secret interest in D&D. If you're on a campus I betcha anything there are groups - it's just a matter of finding them. And you never know, they may all be insufferable pricks. But yeah, a certain amount of boldness was required.

In theater I was playing Robin Hood and I fired my bow and hit the bullseye or whatever and Little John shouted "Natural Tweeentyyyyyy!" and that's how I knew he played D&D.

In college I was dissecting a rat and my lab partner said "Go ahead and take twenty on this check" and that's how I knew he played D&D.

Problem is sometimes its because when you find someone who really know the rules and play rpg, they do not accept you because there is already a party in some adventure. I only participate one time with a few people, and the problem is they dont sometimes explain the rules or anything like that. Thats kind of a problem here. Unfortanely, preconception its a evil who deep inside the culture of brazil. They might say good things or bad things out there in the world about the Brazil, about turist and beachs, but only who live here can understand the dangers and culture around here. The preconception is really strong here. Discrimination is out there, sometimes even inside some families. I not everyone here is like that. 

To you have a idea, there preconception about who play roly playing games: "Oh, I dont want to know how to play because its weird to play another characters. Or because the rules is very complicate." Or even the preconception about someone who is already playing the roleplaying and judge someone who dont know the rules but have disposition to play: "You dont know the rules? Read books or something because I dont have time or patience to explain the rules to noobs like you." Or: "Uhh we already here a party of members and we dont want more members, sorry." Or things like that. This sometimes discourages anyone to play...live in Brazil is difficult.
