Tabletop Gaming
I'm here to tell you what tabletop gaming is. Tabletop gaming is a dying hobby. Less and less tabletop games are being played today, due to other more popular forms of entertainment existing, mainly videogames. Tabletop gaming still provides benefits that video gaming does't have. Biggest perk, you have to sit and socialize with other live human beings face-to-face. As someone who only sees other people when absolutely necessary, I still need more social skills to interact in the outside world. Tabletop gaming requires having physical loot. I'll admit that I spend four hours creating a character on my favorite MMO, (Massively Multiplayer Online) but having my Dungeons & Dragons character as a physical statue is so satisfying to spin in my hands. Tabletop gaming builds strategy skill and imagination.
