Obvious Truths Go Here

Hey, Sammy.

Ducks are the best thing about Glorantha.

In-person play is vastly superior to online or remote play.

You don’t know, what you don’t know you don’t know.

Or to put it another way…

You can’t fix unconscious incompetence without outside help.

In-person play is vastly superior to online or remote play.

Absolutely not. Neither obvious nor true.

• You get vastly more done in an online game with the beer and pretzels getting in the way.
• Technology enhances the experience (I have a mod for Foundry that enlarges beautiful pictures of my NPCs when a player hovers over their token. Another that creates a HUD for common NPC actions, vastly speeding up combat. It also calculates all the maths for me)
• It’s more comfortable because you can do it without putting trousers on.
• You can make a cup of tea or without missing things.
• It’s cheaper as I can share my compendiums with players, don’t need to buy expensive miniatures and can get beautiful maps without paying for printing.
• It’s also better for my mental health because my face to face game requires a 3 hour drive (5 hour train journey) through M25 rush hour traffic on Friday afternoon. Leaving me more than a little frazzled when I get there.

Did I mention not having to wear trousers?

You don't have to wear trousers in person.

You don't have to wear trousers in person.

That's right. Some of us have friends that understand us and love us the way we are (without pants).

 

[TheSword]

Fighters in front, wizards in back.

You don't have to wear trousers in person.

These two sentences do not play well together!

It’s not so much the game session where the trousers become an issue. It’s the five hour train journey 🐿
