D&D General A Venn Diagram Poll About D&D

[CleverNickName]

A while ago, someone described Dungeons & Dragons to me as "thirty minutes of fun, packed into five hours." That can't be right, can it?

So I'm playing around with a new toy (a Venn Diagram maker) and it begs the question:

My answer is highly age-dependent.

When I was a 6th grader, I would have voted A....we sometimes had entire gaming sessions where nobody opened a rulebook and we rarely even rolled dice.

When I was an engineering student, I would have voted D (or E, if I got frustrated). We argued about everything from whether or not a flanking bonus applied, to how much time it should take to craft a pair of snowshoes. We had spreadsheets.

But now I'm in my cozy mid-40s, and my group's style feels more like a B. Maybe a C, if it's been too long between gaming sessions.

First off, I believe it's "Venn Diagram," isn't it?

I went with B, but in my case the blue circle would be much bigger than the red circle.

I think *Venn diagram is the most accurate, at least in terms of spelling

 

[Sacrosanct]

Also age dependent. As a teen, C or D. But now a B.

Woopsie-daisy.

I voted B, but the red circle would be smaller. Maybe because we all know most of the rules and look up a few spells if needed, or conditions.

Same here, although as others have said, in the past there would have been more overlap.

A much smaller red circle that almost entirely overlaps, cause my group seldom sit around and talk DnD before/ after the game
Instead we talk Marvel movies, TV or video games

A - if somebody needs to look up a spell or what have you, they do it on their phone in their own time. If it is your turn in combat and you don't know the particulars of a spell by then, you can't cast it that turn.
