When I ran in person, I ran from my house. I had a dedicate gaming/activity area that had a separate entrance and a solid door to the stairs going upstairs. So I could have a group over without disturbing the rest of the family (and vice versa). I had run a game from a players house one or...

I've been meaning to do a weekend in Geneva since I've moved to Milwaukee. The Gygax Memorial fund sells an "Adventurer's Map of Lake Geneva": Adventurer's Map of Lake Geneva — Gygax Memorial Fund, Inc. There is also a Dragon Days festival in early October: DRAGON DAYS™ FANTASY FESTIVAL I have...

I just binged listened to the first book. I really enjoyed it. Not just the writing and story, but the narrator is quite good. There are some over-wrought moments where the internal dialoging could be edited down, but overall the story grabbed me and I spent WAAAY too much time listening to it...

I buy the books. When I'm getting near the end of campaign, I'll look over games I've not run or new games I've heard about. If the later, I'll often buy at least the core book to read it over. Starting with player suggestions and then buying the books and running a game generally doesn't work...

@DarkCrisis Thanks for the recommendation. Looks right up my alley and the Kindle versions of the books are very affordable. Kinda put off about getting an audible subscription. But the book is free on audible with a free one-month subscription. If I really like it and go onto the other books...

I'd try clam nog.

I find that my path to expensive books goes like this: a game looks very interesting. I'll sit on the idea of getting it for a while and think about the chance that I'll ever use it. I'll get the PDF, read through it and see if my interest grows and will start floating the idea of trying it with...

Thank you for improving my voice!

Yeah, though I have not had it much and we I have it often had corn beef or pork mixed in. I don't like it with okra. I don't like anything with okra.

Even if I had more time, I don't think I would want to run two campaigns in parallel. But I would like to run a lot more one-shots and mini campaigns in different systems.

I have no problem paying that much or more for a TTRPG core book. But it has to be a very high-quality book to feel a desire to buy physical books. That means well-edited, professional layout, and great art. But all that makes it even more expensive to produce. I wonder if print game books are...

I have no idea about what is typical, other than posts and articles I've read over the years, and the levels WoTC adventures are written for, which have led me to believe that few go post 10th level. In my first D&D campaign with the world, campaign, and most adventures being home brewed, we...

Thanks for the Syncovery recommendation. It looks good, but is not approved by Google Advanced Protection. Active Backup for Google Workspace by Synology will work and that's the only cloud service I need to backup, so I will go with Synology. I also like that the NAS can run Active Backup...

I'm going to try it in my next session. I expect I won't be happy with the first result and I will try to train Gemini to summarize to my expectations. I'm not particularly optimistic. Although, I've been impressed with Google Meet for short conversations and business meetings, I find that I...
