This hits too close to home.

Hands up those who have more RPG sourcebooks than opportunities to play?

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

yep yep yep. It’s why I solo with Mythic GM Emulator. :ablobcattrash:

5 years strong with the current group!

both of them

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.

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.

Which is why I haven’t played since college.

And that you get a net four hours of gaming from a meeting like that, not… two-ish

::PBP has entered the room::

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.

I’d join a campaign with you.😎👍

look…

Used to do that, when me and my friends were all playing Monster Hunter Portable.

That and something called a “Long Rest”.
