I might never have engaged in any social clubs or groups during my period of public education, primarily out of resentment and desire to not even be remotely affiliated with the school, but I did come to learn about tabletop games via roleplaying that was done through storytelling. Roleplaying was never a new phenomena to me, rather when people started sorting out how things were done via self imposed rule sets or those borrowed from other systems, that is when I came into discovering them.
