In some ways it can add to it, but I find the tradeoff worth it in some cases. Setting up a 3d dungeon using DF/Hirst blocks takes a bit of time. The first time I laid out a dungeon scene with my Hirst molds stuff one of the players took a picture and said, "This is how I was imagining...

Yep the quality of the game is 90% based on the people at the table. I just use "stuff" to make that even better for me.

I find that as I grow older I have more income to spend on frivolities like gaming. It makes the experience better IMO in dungeon crawley type campaigns which I prefer. Just because some may be in a different situation when they can't or don't want to afford it for whatever reason doesn't...

I always thought that a ping pong table was the perfect size for wargaming and RPG and almost bought one a few times. But I think the 8x4 plywood tabletopper is better for me down the line. My current dining room table is 84x42 which is too narrow for my MondoMat.

I'm getting ready to abandon the city and move out into a more rural setting and the only drawback is now all the terrain, dungeon tiles, miniatures, etc are pretty much going to be going into long term storage and no idea if or when they will come out as I will probably be an hour away from the...

We are definitely an action orientated group, but even within hack and slash there is roleplay. RP is not just having long sessions of PC talking in character with NPC. How you approach the action sequences is filled with RP.

I will do stuff like, "As you are following the track of Guy Badd you do see a set of tracks that are probably only a few days old, and they look like they are giant sized." You know, add some verisimilitude to the fantasy world...only to have the party of 2nd level PC begin to talk themselves...

Let the dice fall where they may and have it be challenging. Players have a good chance to overcome with smart play but can face a TPK if they are excessively foolish.

That was a huge issue I had. Three of my table are brothers, two are relentlessly political. It had been a long term issue that those two would just talk politics when it wasn't their turn. Of course both would be totally clueless when their turn rolled back around and they only then started...

What's going on right now doesn't really impact any modern gaming I'd be interested.

Yeah, honestly we seem more like a Whiskey tasting club at times than a game club, but its rare that drinking causes any issues. Usually its more people dozing off who aren't having a drink.

Since I only game with a group of longtime friends we just have the same "rules" we have when we are sitting around a table drinking, don't be an excessive ass. Since we are all relentless ballbreakers there is a decent amount of ripping on each other but its friendly and we mostly know each...

Nothing really, I just show up on time if possible and have my character ready to go.

For me they pretty much have to be a friend or someone I would spend time with outside of gaming. Not really interested in spending a several hours a week with randoms I wouldn't otherwise hang out with. And people I otherwise don't associate with aren't usually going to be invited to my house.

The iron fist of Maglubiyet. Striking fear into his enemies with their tactical precision and warrior discipline. Quake in fear followers of Grummish or other false gods! I love my Otherworld Hobgoblin minis and try to use them as much as possible.

Grounded with occasional explosions of gonzo.

A bunch of besotted lushes around a table with a very gamest approach to classic hack and slash D&D. Not totally casual but nobody but one or two players is messing with D&D stuff when we aren't at the table. All of us have known each other for 20+ years and half have gamed together on and off...

1, we run two campaigns so a DM can get a break. I'm running a Greyhawk game using OSE and playing in a 5E game. Wed night is game night. Honestly that is enough D&D for me. My other hobby time is mini painting.

That would only get in the way of my tables tomb robbing and foe slaughtering most likely. Would be great for some groups no doubt.

It came out right as I was discovering D&D and playing a mish mash of The Red Box and AD&D. We had no idea what we were doing but through my rose colored glasses I'll say that was the best gaming of my life. The cartoon hit at the perfect time.
