@jnichols36 @Ken @DanSaysThat as a long-suffering D&D nerd going back 25+ years, I am continually amazed when I see other folks who enjoy this hobby who I might never expect to. 👊

@stumblewyk @jnichols36 @DanSaysThat I’m showing my age but I started on red box in 1978 lol. So I’m a life, too, but I haven’t gotten up to speed or joined a 5e game yet…been too busy to play for a while. Would love to get back into it at some point.
@Ken @jnichols36 @DanSaysThat You definitely have a few years on me (born in 79 and started with AD&D 2e.) 5e is a solid game, and super easy to learn. If you're open to playing online, there are tons of opportunities to play.
DanSaysThat @stumblewyk @Ken @jnichols36 I play every Tuesday at a friends house. I wish we played more or I could find more games but I refuse to play unless it’s in person and everyone is present
@DanSaysThat @stumblewyk @jnichols36 i much prefer in person, too. Just logistically difficult. I’m leaning toward giving in and playing online.
@DanSaysThat @Ken @jnichols36 monthly at my place with the same group since '05, and weekly online with some distant college/Internet friends. I DM both games. I don't *love* online, but it's nice for regular gaming with folks you don't live near
@stumblewyk @DanSaysThat @jnichols36 my main crew was my gang from PSU - we played 5 nights a week for like 4 straight years. All are busy with kids etc now and I’m like homeless game-wise hah
dylan@stumblewyk @Ken @DanSaysThat @jnichols36 butting in here to say I desperately want to learn and play but have no idea where and how to start
@bbq @stumblewyk @DanSaysThat @jnichols36 I’m pretty old school about it - if you get a DM that’s really imaginative and a group that takes the role playing as seriously as the combat, it can be pretty magical. I’m like you, I need to find where to “start” again.

@Ken @bbq @stumblewyk @DanSaysThat @jnichols36 there’s lots of good online tools now for both campaigns and character building!
@Ken @bbq @DanSaysThat @jnichols36 would 100% want to do this. I already DM enough to make my ears bleed, or I'd offer to run/teach
@bbq @stumblewyk @Ken @DanSaysThat so like I only got into it about a year ago because my girlfriend and her friends had a campaign, what genuinely made it way more fun for me was to play essentially a big angry mfer who mashes people up make jumping in way easier. There’s also so many like podcasts and shit that you can run to see how it all works there’s a lot but not crazy hard to grasp at all
@jnichols36 @bbq @Ken @DanSaysThat yeah, earlier editions of the game were almost incomprehensible, and sometimes even contradictory, at times. 5th edition is so streamlined, and very friendly to the uninitiated.
