Kase, in This little piggy says you stay out of jail...

Next Halloween I wanna dress up as an AI-generated image

Godort, in Making plans

Man I wish.

Getting everyone to agree on a date and time for D&D is harder than any encounter you could face in-game

Senseless,

It’s been over a year and there are still two people that haven’t finished their damn character sheets.

Doug,

Or even just a board game night.

Maybe it just means boring guys. Drinking is a secondary activity, not a primary one.

Donkter,

Yeah this convo is either saying they’re going to a bar which can be fun. Or they’re 18-22 and drinking is as much about buying the alcohol as it is imbibing it.

WhiteHawk,

I swear, planning any sort of group activity with adults is an absolute nightmare

SolarNialamide,

I have two small friend groups of four and in both is someone who often works weekend, so that’s always fun trying to plan something, let alone if I want to have both groups somewhere. It was honestly a miracle I could get all 6 of them in one place at the same time somewhat close to my birthday.

Damdy,

Plan the activity with a smaller group than you would want initially. Then invite others to an already organized event and rely on fomo to get people to go. Works great.

smeg,

You’ve got to get people to commit to a weekly slot, ad-hoc sessions lead to madness

I can’t even get more than 3 people to join in a multiplayer session on steam and you don’t even have be physically there.

littlewonder,

What game?

random_character_a, (edited )
@random_character_a@lemmy.world avatar

Various. Barotrauma, Phasmophobia, Lethal Company…etc.

Left out Deep Rock Galactic, since if you can’t get friends to joint, you can always make new ones. Only game where randos are never a nuisance.

You have to lure them by asserting drink.

WarmSoda,

Food is great too

AngryCommieKender, (edited )

I’ve found that few people can resist the call of “New York Style Cheesecake Stuffed, Chocolate Covered, Graham Cracker Rolled, Strawberries.”

I have had friends say they put on a pound just reading the name, lol.

Zarek2472,

The way myself and my party does it is we play every other week on Saturday from 6pm to 10pm. This way everyone knows the schedule and can plan around it. If people can’t clear their schedule to play then we replace them. It’s harsh but it’s the only way I found to play D&D consistently.

And I myself have excused myself from a game because my life schedule changed and couldn’t keep the commitment I had previously and it would be too much work for the rest of the party to change their schedules.

rockSlayer, (edited )

Harsh but fair. It ensures that everyone can work their schedule out in advance, while also presenting clear expectations for participating in a voluntary hobby. Is there a consecutive number of missing sessions before being replaced? If not, how does the DM work it out in the campaign?

snuff,

I only run west marches style games now. The pcs need to be back in town by end of session or miss out on carousing or possibly worse depending on where they are. Each game is self contained so people can drop or join as they want.

bearwithastick, (edited )

You have to be harsh, otherwise nobody gets to play. When we started our new group we made sure to inform everyone that playing DnD is not to be treated as a secondary hobby that can just be canceled for other stuff all the time. Make it your priority, plan other things around the sessions if you want to play with that group. Of course, any emergencies excluded but otherwise treat it as if it is your sport club training. If you miss too many sessions, you’re out.

I know this sounds super arrogant and mean, but it’s the only thing that works consistently. Also filters out friends who are not ready or able to commit that much time for playing.

havokdj, in hmm rock

I heard the yeet in my head

Siegfried, in It's hard to believe

Thats the worst circle i have ever seen

Everythingispenguins,

That is just an artifact of the map projection

dirtbiker509,

My thoughts too. Put that back on a globe and it’s pretty damn close to a circle! Considering it’s hand drawn…

From what I’ve read over the years, he’s hella-fired as soon as this pic gets around.

AlligatorBlizzard,

Not sure about the actor in the pic, but whoever took it would definitely be fired and put on a do not rehire list if they figured out who it was because they pretty explicitly tell you during Traditions to not ruin the “magic” for other people (and it leads to some weird language games to not break their quasi kayfabe), but I think I agree with whoever said this was not Disney, that costume looks sus.

Duamerthrax,

This is probably a bootleg. Like those people in costumes in times square that harass tourists.

FunderPants,

What harassment? Those official autographed mix tapes are fire 🔥 👌

XEAL,

My rule of thumb is that someone who cannot spell “pregnant” properly shouldn’t be breeding

crashoverride,

Pregante!

milicent_bystandr, in When Horses replace electric is the circle complete?

So, in the modern world, in some places where people still use horses for normal life (certain remote places) people are actually replacing horses with cars/motorbikes because motorbikes are cheaper to own. The horse you have to feed all year round.

Also of course bikes are also a lot faster, you can park them somewhere and not think about sending them off to graze, and they’re (for the places I know) a status symbol too. That’s not to say they don’t have their downsides, including broken bike frames now rusting across the landscape.

Feels sad to me, but I understand it from the people’s point of view: getting whatever’s best in the now to help their day to day life and economic situation.

BreadOven,

Hahahaha. Yes. I couldn’t find (also didn’t look for) that picture. Many thanks.

Songar87,

I just took a screenshot from the actual video, but you’re welcome! 🤪👌

Jay, in Making plans

When I was a student, a friend texted me one evening:

“Tequila. Name of our usual bar. Now.”

I replied “OK” and was there 20 minutes later. She was a little surprised, but learned exactly the lesson of this post that evening.

LemmyPlay,

Proximity really makes friendships better, and at least easier. Some of the best memories are made on a whim. And even with the busiest people you can have a better chance of seeing them with a spontaneous text versus a long-term plan.

TubeTalkerX, in How was your day?

Fucking Goofy.
