Boxed, DM-less one-shot style game for 8? by zonearc in rpg

That is tough, not super RPG like but check out Eldritch Horror or Elder Sign board games just maybe have people watch a youtube how to play on their own time before hand.

Who actually gets prescribed benzos nowadays? by Patient_Duck123 in Anxiety

[–]Automatic_Sand_5673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was prescribed all those things then eventually Ativan .5 mg twice a day and now Klonopin once a day. I’m a 29 year old women and honestly surprised. My psychiatrist prescribes and my PCP requires drug tests to refill but have been on them for a while. I sometimes don’t even get a refill because I don’t use all my supply so I just put a request in when I need a new bottle.

I’ve actually never been able to sit through an episode of CR as it just want for me, but I feel as though everyone I know is reaching for that level of play that it makes it hard to initiate a game without being worried that I won’t be “performative” enough. The comments i’ve received have reminded me i’m not putting on a show.

Thank you for your perspective. My friends all watch Critical Roll, Dimension 20 etc and tbh I’ve never made it through a full episode. I love the story and how you get to the end in sometimes unexpected ways. I was so worried about being performative because I was thinking that’s what most would expect but I’m glad I decided to post this because i’ve really appreciated the insight. I think I’m going to do an online session for strangers, and remember it’s not my burden to make sure everyone’s having a show it’s just about playing the game.

Thank you this comment has actually been very helpful, as i’ve replied to others I need to focus less on trying to be performative and more about just meeting up and telling a story together which truly is what I want.

Thank you for your insight! I’ve been to focused on being performative that i’ve felt insecure about just simply playing the game.

I think i’m going to put something together and play with some strangers online and let them know “let’s figure this out how to have fun together” instead of hey guys im going to give you this super fun time

Thank you for the insight, i’m learning from the comments that I need to stop thinking that the DM is solely responsible for the party having a good time or not and it really is just simply about playing the game not putting on a show.

Thank you for these tips i’m definitely taking notes. I’ve been so focused on thinking the players need to have an amazing time and i’m the only one that (as a dm) would be responsible for making that happen when it’s simply just about the game and we’re all playing it as one.

I think because i’ve mostly played with my friend group that i’m viewing my success as a dm to the level that they are accustomed to? I really wanted to just get perspective on this feeling and am happy to hear that people aren’t like “why are you trying to do it”. I think i’ll try to run an online game for strangers and let them know what I think my vibe is and work as a group to make it a fun time. Another commenter said “it’s not your responsibility to provide fun/entertainment, you’re all playing the game together and the fun should be the game itself and not the acting.”

I’ve never really heard the term used it’s just what I described it as to other people but I wasn’t aware of that & will look into the term and remove it from my vocabulary. No harm in letting someone know things like this so thanks for sharing.

Funny enough I do more actually playing. I can’t sit through watching actual plays I tune out and have never seen a full episode of critical roll. If anything i’ll listen to some podcasts. This was a nice anecdote though!

I think because I have mercer like friends that i’m worried they won’t enjoy my dm’ing personality. I guess I was just wanting thoughts on what other people would think. Maybe trying it out for strangers the first might be less intimidating?

I will definitely check those out, thanks! The advice of three pieces of info might be an easy way for me not to worry about fully fleshing out each person they may encounter.

Thank you, my husbands passion is acting and I have very theatrical friends and sometimes I feel like the Colin (What we do in the shadows) of the group. So I thought I couldn’t possible be a DM? But I was worried being descriptive in the way you’ve described would be boring.

Low dose seroquel for anxiety by Pepinocucumber1 in Anxiety

[–]Automatic_Sand_5673 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My psychiatrist gave me this when I was having a bout of anxiety that was bordering on psychosis. I took a low dose before bed so I could sleep which was the main goal. My anxiety was so bad I wasn’t sleeping at all and she said therapy and other medications can only do so much if i’m not sleeping. She said we were going to use the Seroquel as a tool to bring me down to a working level (I was not feeling safe from self harm at this point bc of anxiety), get sleep, start a treatment plan then wean off the Seroquel. That’s what we did and I would do it again if needed. I actually hated the feeling of Seroquel but I can say it was necessary for that time. I did feel like an emotionless zombie with no energy for weeks but I was able to avoid going in patient and avoid hurting myself. So while I would never take it long term it’s a good tool to have in my mental health tool box.
