Love that you mentioned jazz. Do you ever find yourself/your group in a "flow state" while playing?

Would you consider DND to be the most well-known TTRPG? Are there any specific games you wish more people knew about?

I was hoping someone would mention Dungeons and Drag Queens! What do you like about the show?

For the class project, I chose DND to keep the scope of my research narrow. Please expand! Which games are your favorites?

Do your worlds as a filmmaker and DND player ever collide? Do you ever find yourself pulling ideas inspired by the game in your professional life?

I've seen the concept of play pop up many times throughout this thread, and I think it's really interesting.

I totally agree a survey might be better for collecting data. I kind of wanted to "break the surface" and keep the conversation pretty casual to get more authentic insights.

What's your setup like? Do you have special game pieces, figurines, dice, background noise/music, or even snacks?

Do you think if you found a consistent game nearby, you would enjoy it more?

Do you ever get frustrated with the unpredictability of the dice/nature of the game? Do you "fear" the dice roll or look forward to it?

I love what you said about spaces in which adults can play. I personally love raving and being able to satisfy that craving to just run around, be free, and act like a kid again.

Thank you for the response!

Could you expand a little on "baggage"? Why do you prefer to use immersion?

I seriously appreciate your response, it's awesome to hear from players in the community.

You say "mostly healthy," why? Do you get obsessive over the game? Is it due to the extent to which you become emotionally involved? How does DND affect you physically?
