> It's deep connection people crave, and a D&D adventure just isn't going to satisfy that need.

Right! You can't just have a meet up to form a deep connection! That's not how it works!

I see posts on our local meetup sites fairly often, of people new to the city complaining about the shallow relationships they seem to be forming, how they miss their old friends they could have in-depth and emotionally vulnerable conversations with.

Well guess what? That sort of relationship takes time to build! You can't just post "I'm lonely and need a life-long friend" and expect one to come out of the woodwork without any effort on your part.

I'm not sure what happens to these folks after they post; I hope they eventually do find friends and don't just curl up in front of a screen.
