Just realized I'm the only one at my game night who hates legacy campaigns
Honestly, we were three sessions into a big legacy game at my buddy's place in Tempe last month. Tbh, the moment came when we had to permanently tear up a card, and everyone else was super into it. Ngl, I just felt like we were wrecking a $70 game. I spoke up and said I'd rather just play something we can reset, but they voted to keep going. Has anyone else felt pressured to play a style they don't enjoy just because the group loves it?

Yeah, that feeling of watching a group get excited about something that just makes you cringe is so real. I see it all the time, not just with games, but with things like group trips or even how people decorate a shared space. There's this push to go along with the shared moment, and speaking up can make you feel like you're the one spoiling the fun, even when you're just being honest about your own comfort zone. It's tough when your idea of value, like keeping a game intact, clashes with the group's idea of a good time. Makes you wonder how often we all just quietly go along with things to keep the peace.

Oh man, that's so true. I once had a friend group that insisted on playing a party game where you had to draw on each other's faces with washable markers, and I sat there for like an hour just watching them all color each other like toddlers while I held the cards in a death grip. lol. I'm the worst at going along with stuff like that, I always end up being the one who's like "wait, but what if we just. don't." and then everyone looks at me like I'm the fun police. But honestly, I'd rather be the buzzkill than have to scrub permanent marker off my face later, you know?

What's worse, watching them tear up a card or the look on your face when you do it? I made a noise like a stepped-on dog toy last time, and now it's a running joke. I guess my wallet is just too attached to the games.
