This is when I usually have an auto-save. If it was supposed to be the final battle, though, that's a bit harder of a call.

We probably finished our dungeon. I say probably, because there is still an unexplored room. My players know it, but their characters do not, and we have discovered most of what we were sent to find. The only thing left is a scepter (which isn't even there, but they don't know that). My...

In my neighboring county, in Washington State, the first official case was deemed recovered, released from the hospital, and then declared to be positive again. So it isn't just in South Korea.

Possibly with another strain . . .

We continued on in our dungeon today. Before leaving the cavern we were in, my players finally noticed the trap they had avoided setting off, but didn't figure out what the threat actually was. Fortunately, they didn't accidentally set it off. It was also fun to watch them discover that just...

Very interesting! The buy-in price is a bit high for me at the moment, though, especially since I just spent all my spending money for the month. I might look into it next month -- assuming moving doesn't equal zero spending money.

Thanks. Everybody wanted to own their own loot instead of having a group treasure keeper/banker, but we wanted to keep things pretty fair when we came across the uneven looting sites. Some characters might still get a larger share of loot in the long run, but at the same time, different people...

We thought about just having them start at Level 1, but since this campaign is aimed at going through Level 20, we figured that would just be an exercise in futility. I see no reason to make them rest first, but to each their own. Characters being revived isn't a possibility right now, but I...

My characters get individual XP, but it gets divided equally amongst everybody involved in the fight (that survived). If it doesn't come off as equal, whomever the table feels was the most effective/dealt the determining blow gets the extra. As far as quest XP, I keep a chart and characters who...

I dole out XP as soon as the battle is over (otherwise I'd forget), but other than hit points, if a player isn't ready for his character's updated stats, it continues playing with only the previous level's abilities until the end of the session.

If they want more XP, they go hunting monsters or take on a side quest that they have been avoiding. Otherwise they just have to wait until they get a bit further in the campaign. Also, if they reroll their character, because of death, the new character starts at the first level of our lowest...

1) We do mention that attention is wandering so we are ending for the day, but my kids (and husband) don't react poorly to that. They just shrug and agree. We will usually finish what we are doing, though, so we don't have to restart in the middle of a battle or anything like that. 2) Our house...

How young are you talking about? I play with my kids and the youngest start was at age 9. I don't implement any special rules based upon age, but I do help with their inventory until they figure out how to keep track of it. I also tell them to focus on one new ability/combat action at a time...

The US is considering a new stimulus package: $2000/month/adult + $500/month/kid until a certain percentage of businesses have been opened back up.

While I agree with a lot of this, some of us live an hour away from a game store (not counting the one that primarily sells used Magic cards). Personally, even if I have energy to glance through it when I go shopping, I rarely have the energy to truly browse. I do, however, look at them when I...

You can print them out. That is what I usually do, and then hole-punch them and put them in a binder. I do much prefer the real books, though, hardcover or softcover.

My county finally has enough test kits that anybody showing symptoms can schedule a test at the weekly drive-thru sites. First responders, people that work in a hospital, and those in the at-risk categories still get priority, though, of course. Of course, part of this excess of kits may be...

Oh, mine is uninterested too, but he will cave and join in every once in a while.

Gotcha. It's just not a term we use in the states.
