This thread is extremely why I find it SO CRUCIALLY IMPORTANT for everyone to be explicitly on the same page about what they want out of a game when deciding if to play together.

I& #39;m struggling with this right now in exactly the opposite direction

I& #39;m trying to put together a game that& #39;s basically collaborative storytelling & needs to be the right mix of personalities, interests, desires, styles, & approach & I& #39;m really struggling with not defining what my goal is through describing what I DON& #39;T want

Which leads to extended conversations about the worth of the things I& #39;m trying to get away from, arg

Which is so far from the point I don& #39;t even know what to do

I& #39;m finding that I don& #39;t know how to not get hung up on a ~debate about rulesets & approach when I just

I don& #39;t wanna play d&d, I don& #39;t care why you like it, I& #39;m so glad it makes you happy, but I don& #39;t wanna! Please stop defending or evangelizing it to me!

(I also have this problem with some things about fandom

So clearly I need to learn a better way to say "gosh I& #39;m tired of X, can we do not-X for a bit please? I would find it a refreshing change" because wow is this not working as-is)
