Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

I think I read the same post....

I have two D&D groups that I'm part of now, we meet monthly and I started rock climbing again (after a almost 20 year break) weekly. So my social interaction outside of work has increased significantly in the past two years especially.

Before that once I got time away from the family, I'd go to a movie alone, or read a book in a quite area by myself.

I recently started playing D&D again (after a break of around 30 years!)... it's a lot of fun, and good from a social point of view, without having to worry much about small talk or keeping a conversation going. And it's cool that D&D/TTRPG has become a bit more widely accepted these days. When I played at high school, it was definitely confined to the complete outcasts (like me)

It is good that TTRPG is a more accepted thing. There is more interest then in the past and mostly I find people care less about others are into these days.

Maybe that is societal progress.....
