Brings so much nostalgia! And surprisingly holds up. From their wikipedia page
“The children's main goal is to find a way home, but they often take detours to help people or find that their fates are intertwined with that of others.”
Play dungeons and dragons with your friends Be a hero Good for the imagination and the soul
You will see sides of people you’ve known for years that you never knew were there
Extremely fun with the right group! I'm the game master of our main game so writing all the lore bits are the best part for me, it's one of the best ways I am able to express my creativity.
*tentatively recommending due to the barrier to entry*
If you have a friend nerdy and committed enough to be a Dungeon Master— start a campaign!!! I’ve had one going for 2+ years and it’s SO much fun.
All of them made me so happy! like no drama, just plain nice and happy. amaze! If you read books, do read Project Hail Mary, highly recommended!
Edit: If interested in Anime, do watch Barakamon.
