      Tried to do D&D last night, but only one person showed up 😞 Fail.

      😞 I have a group of four starting up this week. I'm playing an arcane trickster this time around. Two of the Four people have never played D&D before.

      Online group?

      No

        😞

        I wouldn't mind an online group as long as it's not Tuesday or Friday nights.

            Roll 20 is a great tool. I had the $50 yearly subscript for years. Just upgraded to the $100 subscription to get help motivate me to get serious about some game design.

            I love how only the DM needs to sub and the players get all benefits while in the game.

              I am rolling my 5e campaign back to 3.5e/Pathfinder.

              5e is not a horrible ruleset, but the lack of content coming out for it is just sad.

              If there were more options in the core 5e ruleset without a lot of house rules, I would stick with it. But the current state of the ruleset is just too restrictive for my campaign.

              That said, I would easily run or play a 5e campaign that was not part of my current world.

                If either of you desire an extra player, I can roll one -- as long as the games are usually not on Tuesday or Fridays.

                    Tuesdays 😞 I think we are doing it monthly though. Trying to ease these guys in.

                      If people are really interested in this let me see what I can work out. I could run a game late-ish on a Wednesday or Thursday every other week or once a month.

                            I could def swing it if we did it monthly. I'd love to see who is interested in doing this if it becomes a possibility.

                              I could handle either of those days. I'd prefer a time later in the evening, around 8pm EST.

                                  D&D went well last night. We ended at 12:30 AM and I am completely dead

                                    I run my game from 7-11 Central.

                                    I have been running an online D&D campaign since June 29, 1999. Originally did an 8-12 slot, but that killed the east coast players every time we ran late.

                                    So I migrated to 7-11 CDT/CST and have been that way ever since.

                                    A couple years ago I even found the text chat log from that first game.

                                    I have a lot more, as well as audio files from later games. I really need to get off my ass and get this all organized and posted.

                                      I'd like to do something like this when the two new guys get more accustomed to actually roleplaying. Combat seems to draw people in but when the roleplaying ends up being the most fun imo

                                        I've never witnessed someone make that transition. People who like it long term tend to join for the role playing. The combat stuff tends to turn those people off so you risk losing people if there is too much of that and too little role play.

                                          Especially in the group I'm playing with now the role playing aspect is the hardest to get people involved in. I had the same thing happen in another group. Takes time to come out of your shell for some people

                                            So much this. You will never convert people from one to another style of play. Yeah sure, the odd person might, but I can say that in all my years of playing, I have never met said person.

                                            If you try and force it you will have nothing but unhappy players or DM.

                                            We certainly have role playing and there are rare nights that we have no combat at all, but it is rare. We are a combat encounter focused bunch really.

                                            That does not mean that we have no story or roleplaying.
                                            Both of these happened in game:
