How happy are you with your table/group?

[DragonLancer]

Satisfied. My group has been together since 1992, with a couple changes. Our games are good fun but I really wish they would play more seriously. They go through silly names and things like that which twists my noodle as a GM and fellow player. Then we have one guy who is only interested in role-play and another who only wants to hit things.

I voted “very satisfied”. While the frequency of our games would have me vote only “satisfied”, that doesn’t appear to be in the intended scope of the poll, so I disregarded it. I have a few quibbles (e.g., players lapsing into bad habits or making baffling decisions), but overall everyone is engaged and having fun.

Very satisfied. I've been playing with them since 2008. Latest addition to our group is my yunger brother. We are also very good and close knit friend group outside of gaming. I couldn't wish for better group of people to enjoy this hobby.

 

[Cruentus]

Somewhat unsatisfied. We've been playing together for about 40 years now (heavy 1e through 2e, fell off 3e, skipped 4e, back with 5e for a few years), and I'm realizing I don't want to spend my time playing systems I don't enjoy (5e), and dealing with the same stuff as I get older (i.e. people in my group haven't changed much - and I realize and verbalize that I probably fall into that category too. I'm a work in progress). So I've been trying to get games going using OSE or Beyond the Wall, but to little uptake. I'm trying to find an online OSE group that I can mesh with, because I don't think my current group will, and I'm too old to go to game stores or facebook, or wherever the kids these days find games.

Now, games with my son have been fun, he likes the B/X approach better than 5e, but he's also super busy, so actual game time is limited.

Very satisfied. If I didn't have the solid tables I have, I would probably be out of the hobby. I'm too old to look around for new players to play with.

The D&D group I'm in now is pretty good. I've noticed the action is dominated by one member and myself out of five or six PCs, depending on who's available week to week. Overall it's fine.

For my other group what I'm running it being Paranoia, we'll find out Saturday how the new group goes. I'm excitedly nervous and nervously excited. Trying a new campaign. Hopefully it goes well.

My group missed one session in 2024. Individual players missed the occasional session, but the game played on.

I've been gaming since 1979, and my current group, currently about 4.5 years together, is the best I've ever had.

Moving purely on-line is a major factor. Drawing on a national pool of gamers means you can get the right sort.

 

[Thomas Shey]

I'm pretty happy with my current one. There was a second I was GMing for about a year ago I finally had to pull the plug on because even though I knew all of them for decades (one almost a half century; he was my longest lasting gaming friend) some combination of our personality and expectations had diverged enough I was finding running for them excessively stressful. Took me a long time to decide to do it, though.

 

[LyleTheLloyd]

Well the first day of the new Paranoia campaign went how I expected; rough overall while still being a good starting point. To the best of my knowledge, the players had fun vis they seemed keen to return for next time this week, and I should have another player too so that's cool. So it's off to a good start.
