Bodo HeyeRan an in-person game of #OldSchoolEssentials at my local #RedBoxRheinMain open table, tonight. I’m so glad that I turned to open table gaming in 2023. Since then, I met a bunch of super nice people at our #valravn online open table. I work full time and have a kid (❤️), but open table gaming helps me pursuing the beloved hobby to an astonishing degree. Can’t spend a whole day playing hours long #ttrpgs on weekends 🥱, but checking in for a 2.5 hrs session on a workday: with ease
M. Forester@HeyeBodo 2 - 2,5h is also plenty of time to tell a story.
My friends and I have been doing this for a while, even back when we were students (and had infinite time).
I feel like this time limitation also helps me focus on a strong start and pulling it all together after 1,5 - 2h, so there's a nice end to the session.
We used to run out of steam during longer sessions and eventually just "paused", which is not as satisfying as a nice cliffhanger or resolution.
