    DND can be really fun with the right people and playing with friends definitely stacks it in the way of fun potential

    In terms of mini painting I really dig it, it’s so relaxing to just sit down and paint a mini

    Making minis both physically and digitally is also really fun though I don’t do it very often. Most of the 3D modeling I do is CAD stuff but I’ve been dipping my toes back into Blender lately. I don’t currently have any models I’ve made in Blender I want to show off but that’s usually how I tackle any creative endeavor; I spend a few weeks exclusivley doing internal feedback, then a few months to a year with some external feedback from a very limited group, then after that I’ll show stuff publically. That way I can learn and have fun without worrying about people sucking the fun out of it before I can grow into it.

    Edit: But the best way to start a new creative endeavor into a process is to just do it. Make mistakes, fail, learn. But most importantly: have fun.

      Definitely! He’s also a very relaxed DM, if I wanted to I could find some silly ridiculous class - my other friend will be playing an enslaved dragon tamer that he found online for example.

      Honestly, the main reason I never got into it is that I already have so many hobbies that adding even more has always been a balancing act of “how interesting in this am I really?” It’s different for a group of friends though, so I’m happy to be part of this one even if I wasn’t as interested in the past.
