[QUOTE="Retreater, post: 7849804, member: 42040"] My old college friends and I used to game together back in the AD&D 2e day and then moved into 3rd edition for a time before life pulled us to different ends of the country. We were able to get together occasionally and found that 5e was a pretty happy medium to be able to jump into a casual game during these semi-annual "gaming weekends." Fortunately, recently we've been able to carve out a couple hours almost every week to play regularly. We use video conferencing software and webcams to facilitate the game. I've been GMing Dungeon World for a couple months, and it's been going mostly okay - at least for me. We just wrapped up the major story arc, and we're wondering how to proceed. Of the three players, all have their individual gaming preferences, though the most important thing is to all game together.
