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.

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.😎👍
Probably why I never even tried to get into it. I can’t suspend disbelief to that level.
yep yep yep. It’s why I solo with Mythic GM Emulator. :ablobcattrash:
i feel there needs to be a Mastodon D n D group 🤣
Which is why I haven’t played since college.
It worked well during lunch in high school. Never since.
not regularly since graduating uni in 2002, and not at all since our DM’s wife had their kid in 2012
look…
That and something called a “Long Rest”.
we were able to pull it off for two years 🤷♂️ but alas it did indeed fail eventually…

Prisoners included.
I’ve reached middle age and still have yet to play D&D. I should probably turn in my nerd card. 😂
