Yeah - I think about this too sometimes-people snicker when they hear I play RPGs.
(Their basis for being cooler than me :they DONT play RPGs)
For the longest time I was embarrassed too.
But thankfully I woke up and just started admitting it pretty much all around.
Admittedly ,I do still tend to bring it up reluctantly rather than eagerly .
So sad that or yearly Boathouse sessions are through .(Monday,back to work after the summer,loong time til next sessions..arrgh..)
When we retire GP ,it will be the boathouse every weekend
