Curate, connect, and discover
for all the people who got into ttrpgs through things like critical role and dimension 20 and want to start playing themselves, I urge you strongly before you join full campaigns, to play in one shots, trust me they are a life saving stepping stool into learning how to play longer campaigns. I can understand wanting the longer narrative that full campaigns can offer but the skills that cannot be learned from watching others play (which trust me there are alot more than u think there are), can be learned at at least a basic level with shorter games and one shots, which have way less pressure and are much more suited to being a learning environment. Alot of people I know who just got into D&D recently think they can just jump into campaigns and it will be just like what they imagine and get disappointed and also overwhelmed by how much learning is required. One shots and shorter games help so much with just understanding improv, how a games mechanics works, and how to work with other people in telling a story while being a much smaller stakes activity. And I know alot of people are into TTRPGs for the long complex narratives but trust me even shorter plots can be complex and interesting and also I have to add REALLY funny because making stupid shit intrinsic to the world is alot easier when you dont have to uphold said stupid shit for many many sessions. And if u are like me you will come to love one shots just as much and sometimes even more than the much longer ones.
