I admire lego sets but I can’t justify spending $100+ on what I’d like.

That’s exactly why I quit LEGO. I loved it dearly but I couldn’t justify the expense.

I’ve never played a RPG like D&D and while I like the concept, the spreadsheets and mechanics seem so tedious and clunky. Not that I can think of a better way.

They 100% are. Every time I’ve tried playing DnD it was absolutely tedious. It’s like trying to run a video game RPG on paper. Simplify the rules ffs.

I think about spending time playing music, writing, or some kind of craft. But the internet is quicker, easier, more seductive.

For sure.
