What is a hobby you enjoy, but seems too quirky or obscure to bring up in most conversations?

Mine would be creating pen and paper ciphers for my made up secret communication needs.

I'll say me writting my homebrew DnD world. It goes in pair with me using ObsidianMD, I love the tool i'm using and i'm having fun specifically in the making of polical cities more than in the making of combat senarios. My mom knows about it and sometimes asks, Dad finds it stupid, and I don't talk about it with anyone I used to atlk about what I write to two friends, but they are coming to my session in september so now I have no one esle to bring it up

That's cool. I make shit up in my head all the time but when it comes to actually writing it down it all falls apart. The same thing happens when I try to draw. People that are able to actually get their creativity out of their head are impressive to me.

I suck at creative writing too, but I bullet point stuff then whack it in chatgpt and that does all the creative stuff for me! Try it out, if you like!

Oh I am not able at all to draw too, I can't make it if I don't have an idea in my head (and then the technic is bad behind)

I started writing my DnD (Now Pathfinder 2) adventure/world because I was tired of waiting for someone to "maybe invite me some day" and I started very very simply

There is a King, he's old, he was a hero, and he looks like the old guy in Atlantis (Disney). Ok, now what. I guess the guy has a Kingdom, but that's really big and scary to write. So he has a big developed Greek City. If it's Greek then he must have a Greek God. I don't have any Greek gods made. So let's make like one God Hmmm god of knowledge yeah, and to not have to make to much gods, let's say it's like the main god of the city. Even better, let's say they made the city together ok So now there must be a big temple

And I continue and continue and continueto add one things after the other that's basically it and what makes building for roleplaying games fun

I've been a "Forever DM" for 30 years, and only recently have I realized that the best part of DMing is when the players aren't even around 🤓

Stick with it. You will find players. Try game nights at you local game/comic/fantasy shop. A lot of schools have a gaming club. Our son has been in one since primary and he is a high school freshman this year (9th year).
