The Tabletop Games Thread Looks Back (6/5/24)

Welcome back to the weekly Tabletop Games thread! This thread is where we can talk about all kinds of RPGs, card games, board games, etc. Whether you gather around a physical table in the real world, or use a virtual space to play with friends who may live far away from you, this is where you can discuss your favorites, ask for and/or receive recommendations, recap your recent adventures, or even find some people to play games with!

This week’s prompt: In a recent video, D&D YouTuber Ginny Di looked back at her first ever D&D character and pointed out all of the mistakes she fell into when she first started playing the game. I highly recommend all of Ginny’s videos, and this one is full of advice for building and playing a character who fits in to the story and world the DM has created. I’ll keep my actual prompt a little more general, though: Do you remember your first TTRPG character? And as a bonus question, do you think you’d build that character the same way now?

If you would like to suggest a prompt or contribute a write-up or discussion topic of your own, let me know in the comments!
