I haven’t played #ttrpg or #boardgames regularly for a long time. The group I played with as a younger person dissolved long ago as we moved, found long term relationships, and built careers.

Recently, I’ve been feeling nostalgic for those pastimes, and pulled some things out of storage to refresh my relationship with them.

I definitely want to find a way to play both RPGs and board games regularly. Now the challenge is to work out the shape and size of the community here in rural NSW, or to find a decent group online. The game hub/store in Bega closed down over a year ago as the number of people playing couldn’t sustain the rent on their shopfront.

Keen for thoughts and ideas from anyone who is playing with some of the barriers I have.

@trib faved this for when I have a spot - outside of our IRL group we play regular games/one-shot games through Discord. If you have a style or game system in mind, I can ping you next time I run something. We have a bunch of systems lying around and I’m keen to get my teeth into something 😝

@Cacotopos thank you!

I’m up for almost any system or style. I’m rusty but adaptable. A short (long) list of systems I have played and enjoyed includes, in no particular order:
- D&D/AD&D including large LARPs at cons and several campaign settings going all the way back to original red box Basic set
- Traveller
- MERP
- Car Wars (pre GURPS)
- Teenagers from Outer Space
- Chill
- Nephilim
- Call of Cthulhu
- Pendragon
- Ars Magica
- Vampire/Werewolf
- Shadowrun
- Cyberpunk 2020
- and the one I can’t remember the name of that is an early aughts game set on an ocean world.

@trib Blue Planet, maybe?

FWIW, I play with @Cacotopos every fortnight via Discord. Lovely chap, great fun. Highly recommended.
