Missed this comment earlier, but yes, it does feel like a bit of stretch that these characters will all just happen to be in the library at the exact same time and that they would be convinced to play the game.
Maybe it will be just MC looking for Magnar. Like someone pointed out earlier, concerning the growing suspicion of tri-betas framing and pitting the alphas and the DIKs against each other. And MC doing some investigation into this.
MC might bump into Jill in the library or something. And Josy is pretty much friends, or soon to be friends with Jill. And of course, Josy might've brought Maya along, because, y'know, they're dating.

The MC and Jill have played before but it didn't seem like the MC was all that keen to do it again, and I can't really see M&J being interested, especially Josy, even if they're in a relationship with the MC.
Maybe MC has a change of heart and is actually enjoying the game now. Or as I mentioned above, he does it to earn Magnar and tri-betas' trust and is attempting to integrate into their circle.
And that's awfully presumptuous of you. I can totally see Maya and Josy as nerds, or nerds in the making.
The MC dreaming about these LIs in this scenario therefore seems like a very plausible possibility.
No, it isn't.
Not the part about him dreaming about the LIs, but the part about him dreaming about the LIs in this specific environment.

wow, a DnG scene, prefer it to be an actual scene in the library though. MC's dreams/fantasy is sure to turn to lewd scenes, unless someone interrupt his sleep(Troy), so a dream sequence with lewd scenes for three LI plus a bonus cutie nerd, is like an early december present that'll not gonna arrive. :cry:

Why would he not dream about them in this environment? The mind is a crazy and creative thing, especially in our dreams, so there's no reason why he couldn't dream of something like this.

I'm not saying I'm right about this, but I just, for whatever reason, have a hard time wrapping my head around the idea of these characters playing this game together. Yes, Jill and the MC played before; yes, Josy and Jill are somewhat friendly; yes, Josy and/or Maya could be convinced to join by the MC or Jill because of their connection to them; yes, they might all be in the library along with Magnar and Sally, but that's an awful lot of conveniently coincidental circumstances for this to work.

Plus, having them all play together, especially if the MC is dating all 3, feels like it would force too much drama on this whole situation when we were just getting to a nice cooling off stage where hopefully the MC and his various relationships would get a chance to breath, relax, and take things easy, but this would take so much of that away.

Quinn would like to have a word with you.
Quinn gets heavy duty zip ties, a chain hoist, and stress positions. She better remember her safe word, cause we are gonna push her boundaries right to the edge.

And we'll both enjoy the hell out of it.

The mind can be indeed crazy, but that's not how dreams work.
If that were really the case. The game would have to explain one way or another why MC dreamed of those specific people in that specific environment.

No. Josy being Maya's girlfriend was conveniently coincidental (for some people at least).
There's nothing awfully coincidental about a bunch of friends and acquaintances (in some cases more than that) playing a tabletop RPG.

Drama is an integral part of this game. That's never going away. I think DPC made that abundantly clear.

Like I said earlier. The problem I have with this being a dream is that it would be a wasted opportunity for some character development. Or strengthening MC's relationship with some of the LIs, if they so choose that is. Or, as you said, be the cause for some potential drama.

I'd wait and see. I don't think this is wasted time, there must be a reason to develop the tribetas.
maybe
in that case it would add other dynamics, other characters and it would not be wasted time, but in any case it would leave open all the open questions
I wouldn't be happy with it anyway
