Marvin Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Man. Every time I try to talk to the peeps on our AL Discord about doing something a little different, get outside the box a little, it is met with... deafening silence. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. If I posted about starting a game like I did today literally anywhere else I'd be inundated with responses. They don't know me well enough to know what a turd I am, so it's not that. I guess I could just holler at total strangers on the Internet, but I was trying to avoid that tbh. I think I've said something before about how this group is really hard to get interested in things beyond the Thursday-night plug-'n'-play, that even just getting a good discussion going is an uphill battle, and I guess this is simply more of the same. But it's disappointing. And kinda weird. My estranged wife said she'd like to play tho, and I've got this one fantasy where we game our way back to a happy marriage, so I guess I can fixate on that for a while now. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what you describe you've got a bunch of people in such a rut the ends are starting to close in. It's too bad because just a slight bit of inquisitiveness or willingness to explore what's just on the other side of the line that defines the box could make their individual and collective worlds so much more interesting. It's most likely not you, just a bunch of people stuck in a place where they are "comfortable" enough they don't want to entertain any change. With respect to your ex, just maintaining a friendship is a good starting point. GEM 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This bit sounds a little like Mr. Thorne and I trying to get people to try The Dark Eye. Or, really, anything that isn't PF or 5e. It's really hard to dredge up any excite about new systems/settings/any combination thereof when suggestions are met with dead air. :/ 8 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteWulfe Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 You know it's getting close to that timeframe when you're refreshing the online payroll documentation site every day, or even inadvertently twice a day. I could just wait it out until Friday or even next Monday, but I'd rather get that paperwork ~now~, even though they don't have to get it to me until next Monday.... I swear it totally isn't at all related to my sheer desire to order parts for a new computer rig, a new assembly desk, and several other things... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For future reference for anyone else attempting this, after sanding the surface one or two sealer coats, with sanding in between, of a neutral color surface sealant will give you a fully prepped surface, almost as good as tempered masonite to apply your chalk board paint to. Is Tempered Masonite crazy expensive? (Were it me, I would have considered just nailing a piece of it to that wall.) 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's funny, there are two boxes right in front of the door, as a FedEx truck below scoots away.... The smaller box is just a bit bigger than a one liter bottle of resin, while the other is considerably larger.... I wonder what they could be.... Huh, that's funny, I had two boxes in my hands just a few seconds ago, now both the boxes and my wife have mysteriously vanished.... The Auld Grump And then we started having power flickers, so I didn't get to try it out. 16 hours ago, TheAuldGrump said: At least that's his rationale....

Cooooofffffeeeeee... Get used to the “I’m hungry but not for that!”. It’ll only last for the next 17.5 years. Guessing on Hamsterling’s age. Can’t keep track of my own spawns’ age. And as hesitant as I am to push anything, as I don’t want to be THAT person... but it might be time for a little applesauce. Eternally grateful to my evil stepmother pushing that on us, who were dutifully following the pediatrician’s commandments. 3 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I send out messages and get no response, can't generate any enthusiasm or chatter about the game. Even had one player rage quit because I asked folks to RSVP if they still wanted to play. Despite that, they show up for the game. Doing it online has actually improved attendance and people being on time. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they’re staring at you and your food while you eat, smacking their lips a little, it’s probably time to start giving them tastes. I had one baby that was so interested in my food that she nearly dived out of my arms trying to get the spoon. Why yes, I was eating theatrically slow in front of her, it was hilarious Procedure went well, kidney stone has been obliterated, I’m home and only in moderate pain, except when I pee, which feels like lava. 28 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
