English is not my native language. I would appreciate it if you could be more specific. What do you mean by "role-playing games"?

    Roleplaying games are a form of entertainment where people will act in the role of some fictional character, typically in a fantasy world, with others; like Dungeons and Dragons.

    My use of it here is both as a joke and a genuine expression of disappointment in the lack of real engagement with socialist scholarship and ideas I've seen in this brief interaction.

    "fictional character, typically in a fantasy world, with others; like Dungeons and Dragons."

    I already mentioned that I am not a native English speaker. I don't know what "in a fantasy world, with others; like Dungeons and Dragons" means.

    " in the lack of real engagement with socialist scholarship and ideas"

    Then again, I don't understand what—in your view, or in the opinion of your socialist friends—constitutes "socialist scholarship and ideas." I would be very interested to hear this, particularly as someone who lived under actual socialism and remembers perfectly well what it is and what it looks like in practice.
