This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

So, I've become sort of a Convert

I thought of a good analogy to explain my problem with many narrative (and other nontraditional) games:

It's like trying to have a conversation in another language which you've learned formally but don't speak fluently.
At every step you have to stop, translate in your head, then repeat the words you've learned mostly know what you mean.

You can do it, and I'm sure it'd be wonderful to learn the language so well I can just... SPEAK it without translating, but until then it's slow and frustrating.
This forum is great in that the moderators aren\'t jack-booted fascists.

Unfortunately, this forum is filled with total a-holes, including a bunch of rape culture enabling dillholes.

So embracing the \'no X is better than bad X,\' I\'m out of here. If you need to find me I\'m sure you can.
