Oh, that's safe. Try being into a more obscure ttrpgs like Mage The Ascension or worse, niche Powered by the Apocalypse games like Legacy.

I can't even talk about them to people already into ttrpgs.

Please talk to me about Mage. I've only gotten to play it once and really enjoyed it.

I met my wife playing Mage: the Ascension. Truly one in million. I know. Never got to try out M20 though. That should put a rough date on when this happened...

Dang, old school! I only got into WoD in the last few years but it's been so much fun and I've met amazing people through it. Spooky nerds are best nerds.
