I'd like to sit around a table with a group that remembers 1e and 2e and the dangers characters faced. Character death was a real possibility. The DM's word was law. We shared an admiration for Tolkein, Moorcock, Vance, and Gygax. We could quote Aliens, Star Wars, Monty Python, and Highlander. Roleplaying was fun, but we didn't use it to work out our issues or use it as allegory for the real world. We used the game to escape into a fantasy. I've tried playing with younger fans of the hobby and the sessions seem to either try to emulate popular podcasts or it degenerates into a weird therapy session. I'm just an older dude looking to have fun with like-minded people, not be present for emotional meltdowns. I wish I didn't have to even specify that.
