    My parents had church when they were my age.

    There’s the thing I think many of us have been missing. I expressed to my group of gamers that our multi-table Friday night one-shot group was our version of church before the pandemic broke out. We don’t have a community and we don’t trust the greater institutions, and it’s driving us mad because we are fundamentally social creatures. We need that time together in a shared experience. It doesn’t matter what you’re doing together, but it’s what we live for. Sports, church, board games, art, it doesn’t matter in specific. What matters is the community.
