GaryD20 Posted March 5, 2023 Clone Share Posted March 5, 2023 A little off topic, but is anyone planning on attending the MW Meetup in June? And/or have any of you been before? Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malkavian Grin Posted March 5, 2023 Clone Share Posted March 5, 2023 Kalamazoo is only about an hour or so from me, but no. I'm not much of a socialite. Never been to one either. I prefer the solitude of my room. #myautismbebumpin Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryD20 Posted March 5, 2023 Clone Share Posted March 5, 2023 Yeah, I'm not autistic or anything, but I am pretty much a loner. Although, I did go to JeffCon back in November and had a great time. I'm thinking about giving this MW Meetup a shot, but I'm in North Carolina, so is quite a drive for me. Trying to figure out if it's worth it or not.

cailano Posted March 5, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted March 5, 2023 I’ve never been. I’m out in California so it’s a bit far for me. I’d love to attend some of the big conventions for the OSR crowd like Gary Con or North Texas, but the possibility of me convincing the wife that I need to be gone for a week to go play lots of D&D is remote at best.

eltorin Posted March 6, 2023 Clone Share Posted March 6, 2023 I guess I'm the only member living in Europe. 🙂 So I couldn't go even if I wanted to, though I'm an extreme loner, either way. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malkavian Grin Posted March 6, 2023 Clone Share Posted March 6, 2023 I'm noticing a bit of a trend between Weavers. People seem to mainly fall in one of two camps: Either you have a family and kids and in-person gaming groups, or you are more of a lone wolf that seeks online companionship over anything else. There are exceptions, to be sure, but I'm noticing this split in this game (but perhaps that's more to do with us discussing it directly, which usually is never the case in OOC chats).

cailano Posted March 6, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted March 6, 2023 I have a family and kids, but no in-person gaming group (other than the kids, which is fun but not the same). And so, I shall volunteer to be a bridge between our two factions. Let us all be brothers and sisters in geekdom.

jokomaisu Posted March 6, 2023 Clone Share Posted March 6, 2023 I'm in the same camp as cailano - married with children, no face-to-face gaming, aside from board games with the kids. I'm looking forward to playing RPGs with them when they get older. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jokomaisu Posted March 6, 2023 Clone Share Posted March 6, 2023 I don't attend any cons, but I'd like to do some local ones. I'm in the Pacific Northwest. I'd consider going to the MW Meetup maybe after I feel more involved on the site. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malkavian Grin Posted March 7, 2023 Clone Share Posted March 7, 2023 We used to have cons here in South Bend, like 15 or 20 years ago during my tail end of college. That all dried up and now I'd have to drive about an hour to get to one. I like cons, but as I get older I find I'm perfectly fine without all the interactions. I don't really like people 😛 Last con I went to was one down in Fort Wayne where I was the only person to sign up for a My Little Pony game (hey I'm trans leave me alone LMAO). All of like 15 tables of games or something. 20 vendors. Really dinky-doo. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eltorin Posted March 7, 2023 Clone Share Posted March 7, 2023 I’m a family man myself, married, have a child, and I even have in-person games but PBP games have certain aspects I prefer to “live” ones.

GaryD20 Posted March 8, 2023 Clone Share Posted March 8, 2023 I have an in-person game, but it's kinda lacking. Just me and my cousin. We play a lot of boardgames also. Trying to get a VTT game going. Have several people interested supposedly, but so far haven't been able to get them to actually play yet. Most of my RPGing is play-by-post and solo. Love them both. PbP and solo are my preferred way of playing though. PbP just scratches a certain kind of itch for me. You can really develope a story and characters in ways that aren't possible in an in-person game. Like Malkavian, I'm not much of a people person. Not anti-social or anything, just very introverted. Spend most of my time inside of my head so that makes solo gaming a perfect fit also. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cailano Posted March 8, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted March 8, 2023 PbP is good for writers and readers. If you’ve got a group willing to put a little effort into their posts, it can be a great way to play.

Judging from the incredible backstories I've read! Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
