The real fantasy element of Dungeons & Dragons is pretending that you have a group of friends who all get along with each other and can manage to meet regularly for four hours at a time.

This hits too close to home.
Hands up those who have more RPG sourcebooks than opportunities to play?
yep yep yep. It’s why I solo with Mythic GM Emulator. :ablobcattrash:
Used to do that, when me and my friends were all playing Monster Hunter Portable.
That and something called a “Long Rest”.
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.
It worked well during lunch in high school. Never since.
I’ve reached middle age and still have yet to play D&D. I should probably turn in my nerd card. 😂
Which is why I haven’t played since college.
Offspring downstairs right now playing DnD w/ friends across five states, two countries, nine time zones. Scheduling is a trial, but they’ve 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 were able to pull it off for two years 🤷♂️ but alas it did indeed fail eventually…
not regularly since graduating uni in 2002, and not at all since our DM’s wife had their kid in 2012
::PBP has entered the room::
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. 😀
