[QUOTE="GrimCo, post: 9406521, member: 7044462"] Add me to the "no online gaming" group. Tried it and don't like it. For me, half of fun in playing ttrpgs is hanging out and socializing with other people f2f. If my group stops playing and i can't find another for f2f game, i'll stop playing too. I get it that it's hard to start new group. My hs group fell apart when we started university. Then that group was on stand by cause of adult life stuff (gaming was at the end of priority list). I found another group which also fell apart, mostly due to, again, real life stuff. There were couple of long periods where i just didn't play. I know that it's more convenient to play online. I'm 36, with newborn and almost 4y old. I play with guys in age range 36-42, all of us are dads with mostly younger kids. But, we make it work and try to play every week. It's just setting up priorities, having solid time management and good support from better halfs ( we play from 9 30 - 12 30/1300, sundays). Could we squeeze another hour if we played online? Sure. But it's just not worth it (to us). What you could do is try to find people that used to play back in the hs/college years but are out of gaming for a while. People interested in returning to hobby. Unfortunately, it also depends on where you live, what is your social circle (private and work) etc. Sometimes there just aren't people around you that are interested enough to play f2f. [/QUOTE]
