I’m a bit of a jack of all trades. When I work on a project I use anything from woodworking and sewing to chemistry and physics to human physiology and psychology. I also like reading up then chatting about random science and history and art stuff. I like working with computers occasionally, and I’ll just randomly throw some basic geometry or algebra into a project, but I was also an art student so I’m not half bad at making things visually appealing either.
I have a job where I often get a chance to use my various areas of semi-expertise when I pick up a side project, but that’s led me into getting waaay overinvolved in my work and neglecting my outside relationships. What hobbies or other non-professional things could I get involved in that would give me that same opportunity to flex my creativity when solving a problem?
Any kind of RP is good for that. Personally I find LARP/Cosplay kinda cringe, but TTRPGs also encourage creativity in problem solving.
American ?
I really have the impression that on this side of the pond larp gets well accepted. And it offers way more way to be creative/craft than TTPRG. But i understand that if you’re used to see people in Short-Tshirt fighting each other with pool noodle in a public park and calling it “LARP” you have a biased view of the scene
Canadian. And yeah either that or the LARP scene from Peep Show.
Just check the “drachenfest” (Larger larp in the word, in Germany) trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1IQO3xer-Q it’s still a “mass larp” so not the most intense/immersive/strange,and tell me if it’s still feel “cringe”
