3.5, my personal opinion is it's the best one, but I've never played another.

[Affray]

I started like 6 1/2 years ago.. I think is super amazing especially with a great DM. Our DM's wife is VERY knowledgeable and is a player, so she gives a five while building. Haha hands out a lot of eye rolls because of it. It's usually done in a very smoky room, with books everywhere, and lots of smoke breaks

I've been playing less than a year and don't think I will ever stop.

Our one DM is awesome and creates backstories for things that impress the fuck out of everyone.

Our other DM is less great, but he is one of us and is using out group as practice to get better and since we are not a very serious by the book group it works out well.

We usually get drunk and stoned as a group and have a great time.

 

 

Excellent, what version do you guys play?

We've been playing 5th edition but may be dabbling with some Shadow Run stuff in the future.

[Elfie]

Yes! DM practice is great! Plus no matter what it's gonna be fun. Except one time we had a DM that literally played by hard core rules. It was a drag and he wasn't invited back. Playing Loose is the best

3.5 was the best, I used to play it all the time a few years ago and I have so many awesome memories out of it. It’s better when you don’t take the game too seriously though - we had an awesome DM played by the rules usually, but if one of us came up with a hilarious solution that may have blown the rules out of the water, then he just let us go for it. 

If you guys like D&D you should really check out a podcast called ‘The Adventure Zone’. It’s three brothers and their dad playing D&D and it’s absolutely fucking hilarious.

Everyone I talk to says 3.5 is the best. Even a guy who has been playing over 20 years.

I first started on a starter edition based on 3.5 that a buddy picked up at a garage sale for .50 cents. We got hours of enjoyment out of it. I did buy books and attempted to go further with it but it's too frustrating getting people to attend. So many times people cancel without prior notice. I get that that only days we're available our usual weekends. And everything happens on weekends. Drinking. Parties. Shows. If you can't make room one day a month to play then don't jerk me around. We gave up and disbanded the group. We did meet a couple who want to form a group but still, we need to find a couple more nerdy enough to want to do it. And show up one afternoon a month.

It really is a great game. I got so giddy watching Stranger Things and even name dropped Demogorgon before the kid had a chance to. Wish I had that growing up.

My Aunt Mary died.
I mean, we call her that, but she's in actuality my Great, Great Aunt. Gives you an impression of just how old she was - I believe she was just short of 92. Doesn't make her loss all the more sadder though.

A lovely old lady. I used to go over and help her with her gardening, and she'd always try to throw biscuits and tea my way every time, and never took my polite refusals seriously and would make some anyway. She was always just really full of life. In fact, you'd have thought she was younger. 

Last time I saw her was a few months ago. I went to go do the gardening with my grandfather, and she took a while to answer the door. We had to call the paramedics after we noticed her limping - she had fallen before, but that was months ago. They found out that despite the fact she had previously bested cancer, it had returned, and it did something to her ligaments, I don't fucking know. It was then I kinda realised this was going to happen, and honestly, I just wished I'd actually visited her. I remember being in the waiting room at A&E, and my grandfather asked me to stay and not see her for whatever reason. 

I even asked him a few weeks ago, but he told me she wasn't doing well. She'd gone a bit delirious (Mum mentioned the cancer spreading to the brain, but I couldn't say for sure). He said I probably shouldn't. Kinda wish I hadn't listened, even if he did have my best interests at heart.

Ah well. Rest in peace, Mary. Thank you for the tea and biscuits, and for being such a vibrant and lovely person in my life. I'll honesty miss you so much.

Thanks man, it's been a rough few days.

I just found this thread because i was seeking for someone to talk with, and it's just poping on my head looking for a discussion forums. i really need somebody right now, i feel so horrible, sad, and empty. i want to tell all of my problems here but i thought it would be "too long stories" so here i am..

i don't know if what i feels right now can be called as jealous, but it's just doesnt feels right when you grew up in a wrong broken familly, with all of the members are separated in each different city.and what i have is only an older brother but i never get to know him really close just like a common sister and brother. i was used to hate him because he always making troubles in my fams, he was rude to my mother, and others kind of misbehaviour. i don't know why he act like that, i was grew up individually, lonely, and never feel the taste of having a brother even i have a brother because we're always busy with our own business. i was thinking and thinking again, especially when he already passed away about 5 months ago by killing himself. i was thinking if any problems he made is because of the messier on my familly life. i'd never know how it feels to be the first child and the older child in familly, it must be tough i thought. cause now i'm in his position as the only one daughter left. i'm missing him so badly, i feels so guilty, and it's horrible why i can't just be a normal sister and brother when he still alive. 

now i'm about to have high school graduation, my life are getting more complicated with every responsibility i should take, about college, about moms expectation, etc. i don't know if out there's somebody can understand how i feels... it feels so toughful to stay in my efforts for achievements at school and for college while your phscyology and mentality is blamed for all of this problems. 

seriously i don't have anyone to talk with, my friends are all fake, never trust any man, and i never been close to my parents.

i might loose my positiveness, i've been tired of all this, it's been so many years and i don't know if i can hold this any longer

[Calvary]

Yo, hit me up if you need to vent. I don't know you, but if you're so down that you're struggling with living, it doesn't matter to me, send me a message if you wanna chat.

[Affray]

I'm sorry to hear all that.

Regardless of how futile everything may seem, it is always worth it to reach out and try to talk to someone.

We may just be random people on the internet with no real insight in to your life but sometimes those are the people who will give you the most honest and useful words.

Hang around a while and talk to some of us just to see how it feels and if you get anything out of it.

Can't hurt right?

[Calvary]

My car is wrecked, if I get put on a project outside of London I won't be able to get there. I have to pay £170 because I had my car towed less than a mile from where I wrote it off. My neck hurts and I can't afford Christmas for the second year running now. Life is shit.

[Capsicum Annuum]

Have you thought about renting a car?

Ratchet. Towing companies are the pits.

 

Are you back in England? 

 

Christmas will be ok, just go watch Bad Santa 2, It'll cheer you up.

Might be a small bitch, but my not-sex life kind of sucks sometimes. I haven't had sex in eight years, and due to circumstances (don't ask; just trust me) I literally will never again. Most of the time, it's just whatever, but sometimes it's truly maddening.

[Elfie]

Well that's no fun

[Affray]

Shitty dude, sorry to hear that Sympa.

There aren't any alternative type things you can do given your circumstances?

[Mister Sympa]

Spoiler

Nah. It's not a difficult choice though. be with the one you love more than life itself who loves you the same, or be able to have sex?  like, I'm a lucky guy at the end of the day.

[idk]

Good times Sympa, I know the feeling. Going on 5 or 6 now myself. It's what it is though.
