This is a legitimate danger! My group is virtual. They used to play in person pre-Covid, but went virtual and stayed that way which actually allowed me to join since I'm not local to them. They use Zoom/DungeonFog. Being the geek that I am, I investigated and tried out Roll20 when I had an...

Ah, when two hobbies collide... Rootsweb has all sorts of wonderful lists of weird archaic occupations and their meaning. Ancient Occupations Colonial Occupations Old Occupations & Trade Names Old Time Occupations and more....

All Lamentations of the Flame Princess PDFs are 50% off, including Veins of the Earth, The Yellow Book of Brechewold, and A True Relation of the Virginia Disastrum. I believe the sale ends December 30th, so hop to it!

I realize this is a typo, but as 50-something contributing to a thread about aging in gaming, I will say that I need to "prone" more often than I used to. :LOL:

Not to be a total killjoy, but libraries don't always (or even often) add donated books to their collection. Collection management dictates what will be added to/removed from the stacks. Managing the collection scope and size means looking at what will be used by the library's patrons, and...

Funny you should say that. I was going to ask if anyone had tried to improve their visionary skills and if they had any success doing so. I'm trying to follow the advice given in Better Narration Through Visualization. Maybe there's hope!

So absolutely true (says I, a 50s adult). It's almost impossible to be a "virtuous" consumer, whatever that might look like. I think for me what I don't like about WotC/Hasbro is the utter soullessness of it. I look at my AD&D books, and they're one step above a zine. Yes, TSR wanted to make...

Sorry about the thread necromancy, but I was glad to see this discussion. I had no idea I had aphantasia until relatively recently, and I'm in my 50s. More precisely, I had no idea that other people could clearly visualize images in their heads. That's total witchcraft to me. I'm probably...

Thanks for the welcome! It's greatly appreciated. :)

I live in the boonies, so it's tough to play in person. Thanks to the pandemic some family/friends went online with their game, so I'm able to play regularly again. I definitely prefer playing in person, but playing online has gotten me back into gaming again consistently.
