I still buy maps and assets for my 0 campaigns. One day…
I’m in the same boat. I also got rulebooks for Pathfinder 2E + Mutants and Masterminds in case I wanted to mix it up.
Now they all have a neat little spot on the shelf to collect dust.
I would play more rpgs on tha table but i havent had a real group in a while nor do i know anyone willing to play, ive looked but no luck.
I was in the same boat. Have you tried solo roleplaying? It’s not for everyone but I’m enjoying it a lot lately. Especially with the mythic gm emulator.
[not op] I’m in it for the social, neither online (without open mics and video) nor solo is appealing
There might be meetups near you doing games. There’s one here in NYC that’s very friendly I’ve been to.
Fucking mood
Hmu I like online games
How do I report OP for posting my personal details?
It has been 25 years for me - my group fell apart, life took over, and then my social anxiety made it impossible and will probably until the end of my days. Playing Shadowrun was a great time tho, and i’m happy i was able to experience it.
Word.
There’s some online services that connect people. It’s really hit or miss, but could lead to a decent campaign for you.
Nothing is stopping you from rolling initiative. Next time you’re out and about and see a potential combat situation, just roll to see if you can strike first. Make reality D&D.
Eh, this can be hit or miss in my experience. Last time I attacked the blacksmith he turned into a dragon and ate me whole. Definitely don’t recommend that experience.
I know many furries that would pay extra for that.
Vore is definitely in my top 5 do not understand fetishes.
I haven’t played in 11 years 😭
How do I trojan horse Dnd into my game night? I’ll dm 🥹
I’m in if you want a (mostly) noob. Could probably talk my partner into joining.
Invite new folks who want to play ttrpgs specifically, let the typical folks know that there will be new folks, and see who sticks around after the shoe drops.
If you’re willing to try pathfinder, you could go with Pathfinder Game Night: Dawn of the Frogs. It’s a 3 session adventure that comes with everything you need to run a game: maps, pregenerated characters, a set of dice, some standees for you and the enemies, and an adventure book explaining the rules and the adventure you’re on.
I haven’t played Pathfinder before (I used to do ADND(2.PF) how expandable is it without official materials? (I guess it doesn’t super matter, none of us have played a ttrpg in years)
All of the rules are actually freely and officially available online here https://2e.aonprd.com/Rules.aspx including every monster officially released, usually with a picture. You’d probably be better off buying at least the core rulebooks to actually read, though.
Also, Dawn of the Frogs only has 4 pregenerated characters, so if you have more friends than that it might get a little complicated.
So to actually answer your question, it depends on how much work you want to do and what your definition of “official materials” is.
I’m in this meme and it maketh me morose
I have the same quest and I’ve talked to every villager I can find and while some of them respond positively to the “want to play D&D?” prompt, none of us have been able to solve the scheduling minigame 😔
Oh, so you moved to a GOOD system. :p
No im just lonely and dont like online games that much compared to in person.
I meant like, PBTA or Daggerheart
GURPS also forgoes initiative for speed based turn order.
If it makes you feel better, I’ve been in this hobby nearly 30 years and I’ve had regular games for maybe 5 of them.
Hello Compression Artifacts, my old friend.
My group fell apart because of scheduling issues. I miss it.
In my 30 years experience playing, groups rarely fall apart due to scheduling. They fall apart because the game isn’t compelling. People will make the time if they’re enjoying it.
ehh we were pretty far into Avernus and then one of the players travelled for 3 months, and after that there were a bunch of scheduling conflicts and everyone started forgetting plot points and characters.
Me and my group started a game, we played on Monday evenings so I created a mailing list and called it [Mondays] (it was the early 2000s, email was the best option). About 3 minutes after that one person becomes unavailable for all future Mondays, so the Mondays group met for years on Tuesdays
About half the people are different and the group went from five to ten to four over the years. Right now we meet on Fridays. I have a different group that meets on Mondays
Despite scheduling, you kept it together. Congratulations!
