COVID-19 Check-In Thread Part III

[LynnInDenver]

Wish I had an RPG to get lost in. Apart from a 2e Player’s Handbook, all my D&D stuff is 1e, I’d prefer something in GURPS or oWoD.

Oh yeah, I’m still here.

Have to agree with Raven.  Though it should be possible to replace books....  finding a GROUP was what my sticking point is.

Well, to be fair, outside of my husband, I've been gaming with the other two off and on for almost a quarter century (something like six or seven finished campaigns across at least five gaming systems, several abortive ones with a former gaming group that we started with, with some breaks in between where we still managed to get together to do other things), and we've all taken effort to keep the current gaming going in spite of the pandemic (which accounts for one of the finished ones, this current one is the follow-up sequel), moving into voice and video chat to get it done. The biggest impact the pandemic has had on the gaming is that we wound up moving from around once a month to once a week.

I know some places online do have advertising for groups looking for players/players looking for groups, including a D&D discord out there, but that brings up the issue of gaming with a bunch of relative strangers. Oh, wait, I got to know these guys by joining a gaming group and only knowing one person in that group at the time.

BTW, elder fandom story time... these two, we were at a concert once together, and someone else in the crowd came to say hi, and she knew one of them from another gaming group he was in, went to high school with the other, and was in the same fandom group I was in back in the early 90s. It was a hilariously small world scenario, which led the one guy who went to school with her to comment, "if she knows this other guy we've gamed with, the world's going to implode"... turned out not, but I know gaming friends of that guy as well through other venues.
