@viktorTheBoar@retro.pizza Guilty as charged. I spent this morning at a coffee shop chilling out with my Raspberry Pi powered lunchbox laptop.
It's a D&D lunchbox

@robindlaws@dice.camp In a D&D campaign I ran, every session began and ended at the tavern to avoid narrative awkwardness like this. If a player missed a session, their character just never left the tavern on that day.

@Taskerland This is actually my dream campaign. The last time I ran an #OSR campaign, I did things like track downtime from training, but I wish that I had had the tools and the awareness to break out the spreadsheets. Next time...

@sinbad Also, the way D&D slices up time into rounds and such, the notion that you didn't make progress within *this specific time slice* even though you have made progress in other time slices is not that big of a deal.
In FitD, the time slices are more abstract. A single roll likely represents the entire fight over several minutes. To have the outcome of the *entire fight* be *nothing* is, I agree, unreasonable.
I got an email offering a "free online ED consolation." While typos are par for the course on spam emails, this one is particularly hilarious. I could easily imagine this happening: Some schmo thinks he's going to get the usual "consultation" these emails offer, a video chat with a doctor to see what boner pills he can get. What he gets instead is a consolation. Someone who consoles him regarding his ED. "There, there. It's all right. It doesn't make you any less of a man."

@sinbad I would love to see more action scenes that still benefit from the structure that aren't simply combat. Taking advantage of initiative and action economy to create tension in an escape scenario, for example.
To anyone who is doing this: kudos to you! 🙏

@erikcats@dice.camp Having a child that is interested in your hobbies could be a sign of good parenting. Blasting their sanity at 12 years old is probably not.
