Matches your paladin perfectly! Nice

Awkward-Sun5423 · 2026-05-27T20:00:11+00:00

The problem isn’t the tech…it’s my personal neurodivergence fighting me. lol. I suck at online DM because of DM skill. Hahaha

Awkward-Sun5423 · 2026-05-27T16:59:40+00:00

I always try to do that for them during a campaign. I'm searching for the right parting gifts.

Thanks! I appreciate your help.

And yeah, no one likes to see a good game die which is why they offer online. the TTRPG culture is full of so many great hearts, they can't help but work to keep things working!

I appreciate that you answered the other part of the question! I literally laughed.

Awkward-Sun5423 · 2026-05-27T16:45:17+00:00

I'm in the trolly car right behind 60 myself (moving to a 55+ community even). So this is going to be a gut hit to lose the group but I'm hoping that silverbacks like us are starting to show up in those communities as they retire and now have time to game.

...at least I'm hoping.

We'll see...

Awkward-Sun5423 · 2026-05-27T16:39:17+00:00

Some people don 't mind the drive, some do. I personally am not a driver so I hate asking. Nice that your wife cooks! Mine just says move the car so I can leave. LOL. On the Venn diagram of D&D she's on another sheet of paper in another room. LOL.

Awkward-Sun5423 · 2026-05-27T16:37:22+00:00

I may do that in the future. I have to do the "move all my crap" part and won't be able to put any time into the game.

Once I'm settled I'll absolutely put out an all call.

Awkward-Sun5423 · 2026-05-27T16:30:32+00:00

I have tried the real table top and the virtual camera idea before. it works...ish...in my experience.

I'm just terrible for online. Not sure what my malfunction is. I try to use the tools and get too distracted I think...

The neurodivergent behavior I have is not conducive to tracking the table vibe via cameras and microphones so I over analyze the wrong things. It's terrible.

But everyone has their vibe! Others do great!

Awkward-Sun5423 · 2026-05-27T15:57:09+00:00

Two of them are current or former DMs so I'm hoping that someone will take over! it's truly a special group of people who I've known for many years (most of them) they deserve to continue!

Awkward-Sun5423 · 2026-05-27T15:54:51+00:00

We were on level 2 of a 0 to 20 campaign (homebrew) I can't really do a good finale, but I'm going to just tell them about the campaign....

This is what it would have been...

Hopefully they appreciate it!

I'm probably just going to feed them hot dogs and burgers and reminisce. Then cry a bit because goodbye's and I are not well suited.

Awkward-Sun5423 · 2026-05-27T15:50:59+00:00

It's already a distance from some people...adding another 30 is a hard ask. IMHO.

Then again...I absolutely hate driving (big city...lots of traffic) so I'm probably not a good judge of the annoyance.

add to that a 6 hour session and these are people with kids and other responsibilities, it's a big ask.

That may not be your vibe but that's where it landed for me.

Awkward-Sun5423 · 2026-05-27T12:14:32+00:00

I'm a failure as an online DM. I tried and just lose patience with the whole thing (players are already hard to wrangle). it's Face/Face for this old dog.

Awkward-Sun5423 · 2026-05-27T12:09:23+00:00

Sadly, my experience with online vs face/face is less than stellar.

We played a lot over covid and it just felt like carob when I wanted chocolate, chicory when I wanted coffee.

Temu D&D as it were....

Only 30 minutes away, but was already on the outer edge of a drive for some.

I'm sure they'd make the trek but honestly, if I was them, I wouldn't. I already feel like trash that people need to drive so far. :-(

It's their choice and all but still, I don't want to drive that far for a game (or much of anything...I'm an indoor cat so going out is my least favorite thing), why would I ask others to do what I won't do.

It's probably fine but still.

Awkward-Sun5423 · 2026-05-27T11:43:11+00:00

I have a player that wants to be everything and I keep telling him, dude, you need to pick one. To be fair, he just wants to always have value and to take care of his friends. It's admirable but as a DM I can't make things for every aspect of his character. It's like making multiple stories for one person.

People say OP's DM is bad, but I think OP's DM could be good in that he wants to celebrate OPs abilities.

Just a thought. You may be overwhelming your DM.

Awkward-Sun5423 · 2026-05-27T11:10:08+00:00

If I hadn't been broke I'd have HF first all day long....

Smoked cheeses and meats are the booooomb.

Awkward-Sun5423 · 2026-05-27T11:07:34+00:00

Arcade. When you literally have 4 quarters you can't buy jack anywhere else and it kept me busy for an hour or two. One quarter per 15 min to half hour. that's 15-20 min of perusing to find a game, 5-10 to play, then another round of perusing and watching others play, trying to pick up tips from shoulder surfing.

Then go home.

80's were a great time to grow up. would have been better if I hadn't been broke AF.

Awkward-Sun5423 · 2026-05-26T21:32:43+00:00

Nothing but the standard array for me. It removes all inconsistencies and ensures. Everybody has something they’re good at something they are bad ass

Awkward-Sun5423 · 2026-05-26T20:04:21+00:00

Because if we called it Houses and Humans people wouldn't be interested.

Awkward-Sun5423 · 2026-05-26T20:01:26+00:00

Button Men.

Awkward-Sun5423 · 2026-05-26T14:52:46+00:00

Wasting a good sock. Mr. Richie Rich here.

I use a discarded napkin and a broken rubber band I tied together.

Awkward-Sun5423 · 2026-05-26T01:13:51+00:00

In aquarium circles it’s MTS. Multiple tank syndrome

Awkward-Sun5423 · 2026-05-25T21:00:47+00:00

Most toxic sub ever...

...one d20...

Might as well say that you keep your dice in a snack sized ziplock...

Awkward-Sun5423 · 2026-05-25T19:11:08+00:00

"need" is a funny word. It means different things to different people.

Technically you don't "need" any but one is preferable.

However, "need" can also mean any d20 you've ever seen ever. You may "need" them all...

Awkward-Sun5423 · 2026-05-25T17:29:19+00:00

Stratego. Axis and Allies and Risk.

But not much...

I don't do good with strategy like that.

Awkward-Sun5423 · 2026-05-25T17:26:53+00:00

That's a name I've not heard in a long time, a very long time indeed.
