This hits too close to home.
Hands up those who have more RPG sourcebooks than opportunities to play?

I'd join a campaign with you.ππ
5 years strong with the current group!
look...
That and something called a "Long Rest".
::PBP has entered the room::
I call it the "gygaxian effect" or "if it's not for everybody then it not for anybody.. "
Yea I think he was a real tool.
Testify.
i feel there needs to be a Mastodon D n D group π€£
Which is why I havenβt played since college.
Not since 2000s when I moved to a different country and most of the friends started to get married and create offsprings...
We still talk and maintain a healthy whatsapp group.
and that there's no couple in there who cheat
not regularly since graduating uni in 2002, and not at all since our DM's wife had their kid in 2012
It worked well during lunch in high school. Never since.
Offspring downstairs right now playing DnD w/ friends across five states, two countries, nine time zones. Scheduling is a trial, but theyβve managed to pull it off for five years, through college, grad school, various moves, still with three original people and assorted additions.
I have no idea how.
we got around this by setting up a large group, and having subsets of 3-7 people meeting randomly for 1- and 2-shots. every once in a while there's a 6-session or so mini-campaign to take care of something very significant. sessions are all on VC (but not VTT) to spare everyone the travel time and also allow players from a variety of geolocations. if someone drops from drama, the game survives.
the setup worked well during pandemic lockdown. at least then, everyone had lots of time.
Probably why I never even tried to get into it. I can't suspend disbelief to that level.
I really should get into ttrpgs lol
we were able to pull it off for two years π€·ββοΈ but alas it did indeed fail eventually...
So far my teen daughter and her friends are trying! They in basement right now struggling to get zoom running on her Linux Mint laptop because the GM graduated last year and they have to video them in! LoL
I've reached middle age and still have yet to play D&D. I should probably turn in my nerd card. π
Prisoners included.
Used to do that, when me and my friends were all playing Monster Hunter Portable.
And that you get a net four hours of gaming from a meeting like that, not.. two-ish
You haven't even rolled for damage yet and we all know it's savage. π
yep yep yep. It's why I solo with Mythic GM Emulator. :ablobcattrash:
both of them
My current group met every Thursday for 14 years, starting in the 70s. These days they meet at least weekly online- still, itβs all a a matter of timing.
