Struggles with Game Literacy in LARP
I forget that my hobbies are really niche a lot of the time. I am a LARPer (Live Action RolePlayer), particularly a Vampire and Werewolf LARPer. For those that don't know, there are lots of different types of LARP, especially ones that are different than the Tolkien-esque fantasy full combat LARPs you tend to see when it shows up in media. Our games use a really complicated system of rules and pre-established lore that are important to understanding what is going on in the game at all. In my decently big circle of friends, most of them LARP with me. If they don’t, they at least know enough about how it works and the story behind it to follow what I am saying.

Getting Your Character a Life
One of my favorite things about D&D is character creation. It is fun, and often addicting, to come up with different combinations of race and class, rolling stats, and equipping characters. For those who enjoy lore and character-driven role play, establishing your character's place in the many D&D settings is the most thrilling. Finding ways to weave your character into the fabric of Faerûn, Eberron, or a homebrew campaign setting is challenging, and often requires puzzle solving and logic skills to do properly.
