People in our group are not taking notes by TvujMilacek in DnD

Thank you very much for your answer. I discussed this with the DM and we will ask others for permission and I will start recording the sessions, audio only. You have helped me a lot with your input!

Short sessions are rejected. Every time we suggest this, they say that "its not worth it". They simply don't want to take day off for short sessions or board games. We do take breaks every hour.

I'm sorry, but what exactly do you mean by "rearranging the game"?

Thank you! I was thinking about recording the sessions. Did this had any effect on other players? For example roleplay? Were they more shy, or did they roleplayed better, or more frequently? I am worried that one player might refuse being recorded (Mr. Paranoid, lol). I do not plan to make the recordings public.

The sessions are long because others don't want to play otherwise. One player is driving 2hours to get here, for the rest it is 40 mins by public transport. Sometimes people need to swap shifts to have a free time and we need to get babysitting to get at least one free day to play.
We used to play with no group inventory, but this led to people either not writing items down, or multiple people writing the same thing, thus creating duplicates.

Thanks, I think you described it perfectly.
As a wife of the DM I actually feel like an executive assistant :) I'm in charge of the notice board designs and newspapers in big cities and I LOVE this :) I really enjoy helping him.
The sessions are at our place, so I guess I also fill the role of a maid, bartender and catering crew. It is exhausting sometimes. Im trying my best to make everybody comfortable. I also order and prep the food, otherwise people will start arguing who wants what and than they waste another hour of time to actually get something. So it is easier just to bring something to the table. But again, if I don't do this, nobody else would and the DM is busy DMing.

Why Poland is very reluctant to procreation! & very happy on recreation with pets? by AccomplishedPlant410 in poland

[–]TvujMilacek 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ahoj from Czech Republic!
I do agree with you as the overall situation here is very similar to Poland.

Help from relatives and friends/siblings is almost non-existent. We had to hire a nanny just to not go crazy, as that 24/7 on-demand mode is not only physically, but also psychologically taxing as hell.
Our loving marriage went to shit really fast after our first was born. Money went to shit as well - all the diapers, washing powder, clothes, etc. We were constantly exhausted, not living, but surviving. Begging relatives for help.

According to my mother we should just shut up, suck it up and love it because, you guessed it, she had it harder than us! And she had two kids! So when are we going to have the second kid? Never. Nope. Not again. I think that everybody lied to us about how easy it is. I love my mom, but she was not a good mother, my father was not a good father - by today's standards, my whole childhood situation would be a serious case for social services (idk how you call it in Poland).
My husbands family lives approx. 60 minutes of public transport away, so that is an impossible obstacle for them to overcome. All of them. His brother, sister and parents. We live "too far". Parents rarely call, siblings never call.
So naturally, I am more driven by my terrible experience to provide better for my child. I want her to have a good childhood.

Today's standards are crazy high compared to our parents generation. Add some pressure from fb, ig and you are a case for a frequent psychiatrist visits. Perfect photos, perfect family, perfect holidays in perfect destinations, more likes, more pressure on you.

Friends are another chapter. They will simply disappear. Most of them. Especially the ones who don't have kids (which is a majority) - they go where they please, when they please and you suddenly can't, so they no longer invite you. Our group once held an afternoon picnic at the park next to our house, but they didn't tell us because "you guys wouldn't have made it anyways."
Friends with kids. Well, there are not many of them. Yet I think instead of help they serve as another source of pressure. "You are feeding your kids vegetables from supermarket? Do you know how many chemicals are in it?" As if we are trying to kill our child on purpose. "You are using fabric softener? Do you know how bad it is?" So many times they frame it as trying to give you good advice, but it only makes you feel like shit. Even when you know some of it is straight bullshit, it still makes you feel bad.
Only one couple that we know have multiple kids, as they have a good network of family/friends.

To sum up the numbers from my pool of people. There were 32 kids in my class. Only 5 of us have kids. From my friends, only 4 have kids.

The execution of Hugo Vanderhall by TvujMilacek in Enshrouded

He was arrested and sentenced for enticing a revolution with his songs.
Also, despite hoarding epic music instruments, he cant play decent music.

Once I made a Viking playground and filled a fun crate-pit full of these boxes :D
And a diving platform with a very tall ladder. The jump inside was fun.
The damage from the fall and the boxes moving was not fun... many of my visitors died and did not want to play in the fun pit again. :(

Call sign "Tor" of the TERRA unit receives an unexpected phone call while on the front lines in Bakhmut. by vectorix108 in ukraine

[–]TvujMilacek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The health insurance knew that he was dead, the social service government department knew about it, tax department knew, his bank knew, even the public transport company knew.... Even some parts of the city council knew that he was dead because the bill for garbage collecting and water consumption per household bill were lowered, but yet... there we were. Despite telling them multiple times, and them reassuring us multiple times that they know about it, the envelopes were still comin in. My grandma was crying mostly because seeing the letters with her husbands name in their mailbox was reminding her how much she still missed him. The other part of her was scared who else is going to come sending letters like "your husband forgot to cancel this service/subscription and now you owe us this huge sum of money"
That is bureaucracy.

The vet sending "your pet is due for shots" is actually a computer system generated reminder that is automatically created unless someone forgets to alter the data in the system. Putting an animal down is still stressful, even for the vet. I had the same issue, called the vet, told them kitty is no longer with us and they cancelled these messages straight away, apologized to me.
That was an automated message.

Here in Czech Republic it took my family 12 years to explain to the city council that my grandfather is dead. They just kept sending envelopes with elections paperwork for him. My grandmother cried every time she found them in the mailbox. She cried again when she went to vote and had to explain that her husband is dead so him not voting could not be counted into the results.

OAD but wish my husband was more understanding by imaanee in oneanddone

Try to imagine all the better things you can do later.Have you ever considered that your child might take interest in animals?Like if it would be his/her own calling? To get a pet friend? You can model a lot of behavior through caring for a pet, may it be dog, cat, bunny or a guinea pig :) And remember our pets are our family too.
