I went with true, though my experience is much the same. The only times I've had exhaustion the next day have been staying up far too late at a convention or something.I voted false, but only because of the next day requirement here. I have definitely gotten done with sessions and been totally wiped out. I dont even realize how much it took out of me until the session is finally over. Usually, a little relaxation and/or sleep and I'm as good as new. Does not run into the next day though.
Hangover Two: The day I leave GaryCon, OrcCon, Gamex, GenCon, etc. All of those cons leave you exhausted on the final day.
I'm an introvert as well. I'd say that I still feel physically drained, at least for an hour or so afterwards, but I feel mentally rejuvenated and feel an intense upswing in positivity after a D&D session.Nope. Only D&D Highs for me!
(And I'm an introvert. You'd think that having to perform in front of a group of people would drain me - and it usually does - but not D&D. Never D&D.)
That's just bad DMing. A simple fight or two with a narrated "the rest of the rooms are empty" might have been acceptable. Even then I can't imagine setting up that scenario.We spent 3 sessions looking for the BBEG, only to find that he had left the dungeons before we got there.
Most rooms were empty, and there very few monsters to fight.
It felt like a waste of time, and a letdown.
What's worse is that we got the tip on the location of the BBEG from a vision that my character received from his patron.
I thought the vision was real-time, but as it turns out, there was an inter-dimensional delay..
