The store I have been at lately has welcomed the idea of more RPGs played there for some time. He got me on the store's discord so I could find and chat with players. There was a push for some time, but folks have been rather silent about TTRPGs.

That's what I have been doing, trying to run games.

 

Lately, I have been having a problem with finding in-person players. I have visited shops to find them full of Magic and other TCG players, but no role-players. Several game stores in my area are like this. I have posted on relevant socials and Discords like the Discord server for a game store, local area RPG players Discord and FB pages, LFG groups on reddit and Lemmy and Discord. I'm wondering if anybody else has this problem, and how are you trying to solve this?

I prefer to have a printed copy over a digital one for the simple reason of bookmarks. If a game is rule-heavy, I will have multiple bookmarks in parts I need to reference often. And having the bookmarks visible to me in the book does make it easier to remember which one is which section.

My issue with all that tech is now I can't find players who are willing to meet up in person.

I could have worded things better, as I wanted to know how tech hurt your hobby when it was supposed to make it better. My issue, we now have all these ways of connecting to people all over the place, there are more TTRPG groups that play online instead of in person. Used to be I could go into a game/hobby/comic shop and find people who are willing to start a game. I don't do well with online only games with my ADHD.

Or that there are other RPG games outside of D&D and Pathfinder, games that are so much better.

I can't stand when people are violently opposed to words because they sound bad somewhere else. Like "moist". If you think I'm being lewd when talking about how much I liked the stupid cake, that's on you and your perverted mind.

These people have always been bad. Vanderbilt, Rockefeller, Ford, all of them had their issues. The big difference between then and now is the information we have access to. These leaders are more or less forced to live a very public life. We can find all sorts of articles and investigative journalism reports about Elon actually having family money. And when you are rich enough to control the few newspapers, the stories are going to put you in a very good light.

I agree with you on that. And the changes still are going on. I remember in school in the 90's it wasn't uncommon for a college guy to date a high school girl with no real repercussion. Not saying that it was right back then, just looked at differently.

I won't say acceptable, as there were still issues and such, but it was definitely persecuted differently.

Priscilla was 14 when they met, and he managed to convince her father to let her live with him. I blame the father just a much since he knew what was going down.

My school had a kid do that in class under the desk. One of the more hated teachers in the school caught him and asked what he was doing. His reply, "Nothing if you don't want to join."

 

For some years now, I have been using Laravel Homestead to quickly build up a virtual machine with all I needed installed. But it seems to not quite get the love it needs, and I'm wondering if folks have moved on to a different environment or tool for their development.

 

I've been writing a game based around super humans, and I need some people to help out with play testing my character creation. Here is a link to all the files in a Google Drive. Please read the README file and get the feedback form when you are done. Thank you all

 

I volunteer for Yankee Air Museum in Michigan. We had the only flying MiG-23 in American airspace perform at our airshow, but engine troubles caused a crash. Nobody hurt, and that was a major miracle. A very populated region, and a busy highway meant the chance of injury was super high. But the plane came down in an abandoned golf course and stopped next to an apartment building.

 

Going to start play testing some parts of my game, and I am going to need to gather feedback. Anybody for a good feedback system I can look at? Documents offer forms? Thanks.
