Apropo of nothing:
I also find that online games lack... a lot of something that makes TTRPGs great. Perhaps because I spend all day on Zoom calls, so when I tried to game via online..... it felt too much like work?

@Tanarii- I love that you are having such success with open table gaming at the store. I have never found that, and it often led me to think "The worst thing about being a nerd, is having to deal with other nerds!"

Perhaps I need to recalibrate my expectations.
I just said that I was frustrated, not that I wanted advice that I obviously can't follow. I had even made the end of my post sorta self-mocking because I knew I was metaphorically urinating into the wind.

The hobby is totally full of people less socially skilled than I was at 20, and I was as introvert as I could be. Straight up be people who are amazed girls/women exist. These people are real, I have met them.

Granted, I've had such a small number of girls or women play in my campaigns or at other campaigns I was in. I've literally had twice as many people (each) who were autistic, transgender, from South America, Libertarian, Anarchist, from Eastern Europe, personally had been or was a soldier.... and I think some other rare demographic I can't recall right now.
