A funny anecdote
Me and some friends were playing Call of Cthulhu in a park.
We were under some roof as it's raining.
A warm but gray kind of day. Perfect to play COC in the deserted park.
Under that roof was a few tables, all empty except for one at the other end where a lonely teenage girl was sitting alone, wearing a bright t-shirt and holding some balloons A sign near her was promoting some activities for kids.
We smile at her, but she react in a kinda shy way so we didn't insist.
(6 men over 40 vs a lonely skinny teen girl could appears threatening so we just ignored her from now on)
Yet she stayed for hours.
A few month later.
My friend is at a game shop and he overheard a conversation between a bunch of teens
"I learned about this game by listening to some old men playing in a park. Now I DM my own Call of Cthulhu group", said one off the girls...
How cool is that? 😂
