It depends on the group you join! I’m sure there are groups geared towards more casual gamers that have a shallower difficulty curve. I’m a fan of many-session tabletop RPGs (like DnD) and depending on who you have running the group, you can alter the rules to fit the skill set of the people playing. One time my mates and I were at the pub and played an impromptu game of DnD with no characters, spells, items etc - the guy running it just described what the situation was; we described what we wanted to do; and we then rolled a D20 with the guy running it deciding whether or not we were successful, or what unintended consequences happened as a result. It was tonnes of fun!

Yep, then bad faith actors will sell accounts that have recent top posts so they can be changed into advertisements, or could just end up trolling the fuck out of everyone who engaged.

It hit a million in late June; it’s over 2 million now!

I mean, kids can get injured or die doing anything. We had a case a while back in Australia where a bunch of kids got injured and five died when freak winds lifted a jumping castle (bounce house; moon bounce; whatever you call them) off the ground and into the air before slamming them back down.
