I joined a local Dnd group and it's full of Zoomers. What am I in for?

>>96255322 (OP)
The only thing that really matters is that they'll be horrible about showing up on time, or at all.

>>96255322 (OP)
You didn't so you are in for nothing.

>>96255332
I did, they are level 11. Which is the highest level i've ever played with.

>>96255322 (OP)
Let me just look into my future seeing crystal ball..........................Nope, havnt a clue, though I can guess from how you made a thread about it that you lack self awareness and confidence so will spurg out something offensive at one point, making them all hate you. On the other hand, you might have a great time (if you can get past classifying others with insulting labels and treat them each instead as individuals). Why don't you turn up to it and find out for yourself?

>>96255353
This pretentious victim shit is what you're up for.

>>96255322 (OP)
From my experience with zoomers, you'll likely be dealing with low attention spans, general apathy and using the game as a way to socialize at best, or as unhealthy escapism at worst.

Judging by the pic you attached, I think you might be worried about gay shit. None of the zoomers I played with tried to bring dumb social issues into the game world; funnily enough it was the mid 30s millenials always dragging in real world politics into their characters' backstories, personalities or actions, completely disregarding how retarded it might be in the context of the game world. Zoom zooms are alright from tha pov, fr fr no cap.

Isn't this why one plays game in the first place? As an act of socialising with friends?

>>96255493
>Isn't this why one plays game in the first place? As an act of socialising with friends?
I wish it was, but not always. Some play tgs because it's the hot new trendy thing or they saw a critical role episode and were like "I'll have what they're having."
And these people don't care about socializing or making friends, they care about the appearance of experiencing The Hobby TM.

Oh, I am laughing.

>>96255493
Games are a social activity.
Retards instead ignore the main draw, playing the game, as a background event to the secondary aspect, a social gathering, when it is supposed to be the other way around.

You play the game while having a social get together. The game is the focus. Oddly, this shit is extremely frowned upon in other situations but not tabletop. If four people meetup for doubles tennis and two of the players just smoke weed, get drunk, and ramble about dumb shit while standing in the middle of the court, everyone would call them out for being assholes. If those same fuckers do the exact same behavior at a game table, "It's just a game, bro." comes flying out their cock holsters like they aren't the problem.

Makes sense to me.

Apologies for offtopic but what's with the baby blue/pink and the black and brown stripes? I get the rainbow but what do those represent about homosexuality or bisexuality?

Any zoomettes? Any chance you could fuck them?

>>96255622
two. One is a pacific islander fatty and the other is a White fatty, both attend university. the Islander is fatter than the other. The Islander might be interested, she was making faces.

"The use of a black stripe to represent those lost during the AIDS crisis, referred to as the Victory Over AIDS flag was suggested by Sergeant Leonard Matlovich."

>>96255644
Every day is a school day. So what's the brown for?

>>96255637
Definitely cum in both of them if you can, it will make roleplaying romance subplots easier. I got a know how big we're talking here. Chubby is one thing but hamplanetoid you might as well no bother unless you got a 9 inch penis to reach under all that fat.

>>96255667
larger than chubby. fat. not american levels of fat though.

Some are basically younger Millennials. Others were damaged beyond repair by iPads, Gen X helicopter parents, lack of core coming of age experiences, etc.

In my experience they do lean heavily into the escapism aspect of TTRPGs. Which I suppose is fair, they realize they're doomed so they're less jazzed about playing an angsty vampire or burdened everyman or whatever than someone born in the 70's or 80's would be.

>>96255655
Being brown has an inherent transness to it which is why it is included in the flag. For example, a male brown person is never refered to as a "man" but instead a "boy"

>>96255322 (OP)
A lot of time spent sifting through retards to find the one or two average IQ people, and then sorting through those to find the ones you actually jive with.

Online freeform Gaia forum ERP, but at a table full of queer theaterkiddies.

X card, because they're necessary since it is as previously stated, soft ERP. Kind of like stereotypical WoD LARPs.

>>96255475
Yeah from my experience zoomers aren't likely to bring queer politics to the game, they're just way more likely to be BE queer. Polls say it's up to 30%.
You've basically only got three kinds of zoomers, and because the other two are so image-obsessed, the only one of those that's willing to play D&D are basically all openly neurodivergent and/or gay.

>>96256360
Late millenials are also in a bad way on account of no coming of age and ipads. Not AS bad as those who came after, but it's still noticeable if you compare them to the first half of their cohort.

>>96255785
The Queer Left loves intersectionality for the same reason as a certain other country tries to pretend to be both white and a minority. Every person they can convince to be an ally is a person who won't call them out on their objectionable bullshit and will silence their very valid critics for being "prejudiced."

It's funny, cause it's actively harmful for the people they get to join. Gay Rights were headed for the finish line before they got yoked to the much more conceptually objectionable and frequently criminal Trans Rights. I can't even think of the last time Fox News had anything bad to say on the radio about Gays specifically, the complaints are all about Trans but gays have made themselves part and parcel.

But I think I'm going to stop there before a mod bans us for off-topic. This thread is technically supposed to be about tabletop game players, even if we are discussing different demographics of them. Sure "/tg/ - Topics: General" ha ha, but we're probably very close to the line of how far that can be stretched.

As a millennial, this is correct, zoomers are usually tapped out of this political garbage because its been non stop in their face since day 1
>>96257474
Just like in the 90s when it was cool to not be "white" and everyone was "quarter indian" or some shit, zoomers say theyre gay or something when its just a trend to get "Im not 100% white and privileged so Im apart of a victim point class" when in reality they claim to be "bisexual but only have dated heterosexual" etc

>>96257474
Zoomer stats are insane to be honest I suspect the only ones answering these polls are the extreme ones because if you go by the numbers they're all either gay socialists, brown, or tiny hitlers.

>>96257687

>>96255322 (OP)
Any given RPG group is a small enough sample size that big, general stereotypes don't apply. It's functionally irrelevant how old they are, unless they're stereotypes. And if you have a sample size of like 3, it doesn't matter. Imagine how, among millennials, you can find stoners, dorks, construction workers, rednecks, etc. All types in the world.
Matter of fact, I'd say you making this thread points to you being the most likely source of any problems. You don't even know these people and yet you're already being a cunt and complaining. It's not going to go well.

I doubt that.

>>96261143
Spending power was astronomically higher back then. Back then a single working man could own a house, two children, and a stay-at-home wife with an entry level job.
Of course they all had cars.

>>96255322 (OP)
Every dnd group in my local area advertises that it is “LGBTQIA+ Friendly”

….as opposed to groups that aren’t? Huh? Can’t recall a DnD session that opened with a call to crusade against the gays but the more u know

>>96261367
This just means that the game (and people playing it) are going to be fag-centric. Everyone is going to play some genderqueer nonbinary freakshit race whose backstory is them being deadnamed by fascist cis het normative white elven/human patriarchal oppressors.

>>96261143
>I doubt that.
It's true. Many "first cars" of that time period were very firmly in shitbox territory, many of these shitboxes were relatively cheap to own and maintain, relatively fun to drive and the purchasing power of the time period meant that many of these shitboxes were cheap to buy. On related notes, cash for clunkers dramatically spiked the shitbox market and several factors have reduced the incentive to drive - advancements in telecommunications making face-to-face interaction less necessary, worsened traffic congestion, ride share and delivery services, and increased cost of ownership being some of the reasons.

Another reason, though? It's the cars themselves. If we're assuming that an 18yo. Xer and zoomer (both in southern California) are buying a decade-old Civic hatchback in 1997 and 2024 respectively, the Xer is going to end up with a 1987 Civic and the zoomer is going to end up with a 2014 civic and the differences are huge from an ownership perspective as well as just an enjoyment perspective. In the '87 You have a manual shitbox with no power windows, let alone power steering, and you're so low it almost feels like a go-kart. Not fast and not fancy but you can have a good time stomping on the gas and unleashing all ~85 ponies to drive on the relatively uncongested freeways of 1997 and you can wrench on it yourself without much fuss if you're so inclined. The '14 is just an econobox. It has power windows, power steering and an automatic transmission that will get you from point A to point B with minimal fuss and good gas mileage but good luck working on it yourself and the best term to describe driving it is "beige". It's about as bland as possible. Where's the joy?

>>96261508
They're both shitboxes, IDK what to tell you, one was just built with a better engine than average for 1980s, while 2020s market is all about economy cause people are panicking these days.
