So this is inspired by chuds getting their panties in a twist over a piece of art posted on D&D official twitter account for trans charity. As I sit deeply in World of Darkness currently, I thought how much more based V:tM fandom was even when they get mad - like that time one of V:tM books said very real genocide of gay people in Chechnya is a lie to cover Vampire operations, and V:tM fans got so mad at such blatant homophobia, the company publishing WoD, White Wolf, got dissolved and absorbed by its parent company, Paradox Interactive, only being restored this year with new people incharge. THAT'S how you do fan outrage.

I used to do that, but these days I just say I play "tabletop games." And then one of three things happens: "Huh? What do you mean?" In which case I can clarify a bit, and usually wrap up with "Games similar to D&D." "Oh okay." Obvious disinterest, no need to elaborate further. "What system do you play?" Ah, a fellow player identified!

“Table top games”

“ monopoly?”

I mean, yeah, that's generally more the response, but I don't mind explaining things a bit if they're interested enough to inquire.

If you told me you play "games similair to d&d" I'd assume you mean Pathfinder or OSR and that would make me likely disinterested, as I'm head deep in WoD and Warhammer Fantasy right now
