Man, Volo's mansion was haunted as fuck.

I miss gaming. Maybe it's time for me to give up and join one of those annoying Discord communities on /r/lfg.

It just isn't the same as a real tabletop in meatspace.  It just isn't.   

I lament being out in BFE for this single fact.   I really dont want to risk going to the various game shops in the nearest big city.

Nothing online is the same as sitting down at a table with people. You might get like 40% of that experience with VR and a virtual table, but eh.

There are still things I prefer about play by post. Having time to think without holding everyone up, for one.

I'm not sure we even have any physical stores that cater to pen and paper games or gamers... Still plenty of board games being offered, but I've never seen a dice set that wasn't attached to a Yahtzee scorecard.

I need to find a place to pick up some dice, and the 5e PHB... At the moment, it looks like that pretty much just means ordering off of Amazon.

Do you live anywhere even close to a big city?

Wichita hardly counts by most global standards, but it has at least 5 of them that I know of for sure.

Culture diffrerences

Also city size differences

I live smack in the middle of one of Norway's larger cities, and I'm about 40 minutes out from the capital. It's possible there are some more spots catering to P&P in Oslo, but I'm honestly not that familiar with the area. Around here it mostly just seems to be bookstores that sideline in Settlers of Catan and Monopoly, and I certainly can't remember seeing any handbooks in those stores... At least not any relating to topics outside of knitting and camping.

Supposedly Drammen actually has a fairly large active DnD community, as according to the one fellow I talked to about it. But he was reasonably drunk at the time, so he may just have been referring to himself...

I asked the beginner GM I know where he got his stuff, and he said he just ordered everything online. And he's just moved here from the capital, so there's that.

I live in a small city (125k), and we've got shittonnes of games. 2 of my 3 weekly games are meatspace (none of them running the same system), and there are a few i'm not playing in because i'm already playing in the others.

eye roll on floor laughing

[Kagus]

Yeah, the capital city (which is by far the densest population center) in Norway has under 700,000 inhabitants. Drammen has a tenth of that, give or take a couple thousand.

The entire country only has about 5 million people, y'know... We've got more coastline than the entire continental US (although fjords are kinda cheating), and fewer people than New York City.

Neat but goofy thing I saw pointed out over on Giantitp. The Warforged Envoy subrace for D&D 5e can have one integrated tool of it's choice, in 5e one of the entries in the tools table on page 154 is 'Vehicles (land or water)'. So you could technically make a warforged who is also a boat or a wagon.

Honestly probably less problematic for balance than most other tools, but I imagine it could cause issues with doorways.

It can also have one of the gaming sets integrated into it, which begs questions about how integrated dice or cards work.

[Mephisto]

5e Transformers: Warforged in Disguise game when?

[Grim Portent]

Problem there is the vehicles is just attached to one arm, it doesn't tuck away or get hidden or anything. It's just a boat attached to an otherwise normal warforged arm.
