  • Playing under someone more experienced can build confidence, but the only way to learn how to run a ttrpg is to start running one. Find some one page RPGs with really simple rules that can be learnt in a few minutes and played over an hour or two. No one has to invest in anything, you can switch between different ones to find what people like, and there’s no pressure to keep running a campaign if you find it too much. Once you have an idea of what it’s like running a game you and your friends can decide if you want to play a long adventure.


  • PF2e does a surprisingly good job at both unequaling the odds with it’s degrees of success mechanic and making class and level a much more flexible system through feats, but probably not to the degree you’re wanting, and I can’t argue with the rest.
    Delta Green isn’t a perfect fit for your requirements as it uses a single die, but it’s degrees of success system also unequals the odds, so it might still work for you. VtM and it’s relatives are probably a better fit, but I personally find them a bit melodramatic. I’ve found it pretty easy to find a VtM group by hanging around Goths, but haven’t had any luck with Delta Green yet.



  • You’re not being abused you absolute melt, you’re the one resorting to insults when I point out your logical inconsistency. All I’m doing is applying your definition to the real world and asking if you agree with the conclusions - seeing as you’ve avoided confirming or denying a single one, the obvious answer is that you don’t and are just trying to deflect. If you don’t think your definition is accurate, why would anyone else?








  • Oh, you’ll find it easy then, Linux is a walk in the park next to console firmware. Steam pretty much takes care of itself, and GOG is a little more complex but is largely handled by Heroic Games Launcher. Do check ProtonDB with regards to your favourites - generally it’s only online games with kernel level anticheat that won’t work at all with Linux, but there are a handful of others that aren’t working yet - but personally I haven’t had to do anything more than change the proton version in the steam settings to get a game working. Well, except Helldivers 2, but I’m pretty sure that’s a cursed tangle of code that crashes on all operating systems.


  • I was in a similar position to you and honestly there’s very little to it. It’s probably technically best to start with something really easy like Mint, but you can pretty much choose one at random and as long as you use the KDE desktop environment it’ll mostly look and act like windows. You should be prepared to try out a few different distros depending on your needs and/or preferences, but everything is so streamlined that you only need a little bit of computer knowledge to switch.






  • One of my close friends came out as gay to me in highschool and I said “I know? Everyone knows. Well, everyone except you, apparently.” and nothing changed between us. I don’t advise the first part of it, even if everyone did know, but the second applies - start using their new pronouns and otherwise continue on as normal. That’s all they want, for their gender to be respected and to not be treated as different or strange for it.
