Seriously, we have so many tabletop games, you have no idea. Look, here’s what I want you to do. Think of a tabletop game, and go to the Tabletop Library. We’ve probably got it. Check out the game. Set up a table. If you’ve come with friends, force them to play with you. It shouldn’t be hard. If you’ve come alone, we’ve got a solution for that too...we'll have spaces in the Discord for setting up games. Look, we’ve got this down. All you need to worry about is rolling them crits.
