I feel your pain.

[Dark Soul # 7]

I feel your pain.

*lying facedown on work desk and moaning in dejected boredom*

Ditto.

[Nik Hasta]

Me: *being at work*

Brain: Man this is dull.

Me: *trying to work*

Brain: You know what might be fun?

Me: ???

Brain: Going back to that design for an RPG system you were working on a few years ago. Maybe you could finish it and run something. Some of the mechanical ideas and the setting itself were preeeeeetty neat.

Me: ...

Brain: No, you're right. We don't have the attention span to actually run anything ;_; Back to work.

*Body, mind, and soul creaking as I rise again to work for the fourth time this year*

Same.

Not even New Years day off? That's rough buddy.

I feel that so hard this morning.

Also, just venting, but I've been DMing for the same group for 3 years. I love them, but I swear to god sometimes it's like managing a preschool.

Belated happy new year. ^_^

Just watched High And Low: The Worst.

I love how over the top these movies are.

The best (haha) part about it is that The Worst is actually the least over-the-top of the movies. ^_^

.....

I mean, setting aside DTC, which goes without saying.

Nice.

I was surprised it took me a while to realize Murayama's actor is also Joe aka Gokai Blue from Gokaiger.

Interesting. I don't know the series, but it's a surprise he's not one of the band people. ^_^

Sorry, man. I'm back as of today, myself.

Been through that, and I'm sorry.

My current (ie, VERY longterm) group stays on track, but that only really started when one of the people who was the instigators of misreason basically drifted away.

My group is mostly good. They have a tendency to want to get distracted by silliness, but I'm ok with most of that. I think it's ok to laugh and have fun at the "table" (roll20). It's mostly one offender (well, two, a couple), who just derails things. Actually had other players message me about it ruining the session, so unfortunately, it looks like I'm going to have one of *those* conversations, which I really hoped to avoid.

It's one of the jobs of the GM to protect the fun of the game. Including, which is often forgotten, the GM's own fun. If one player is sucking the fun out of the game for you and others, then yeah...time for a talk. Hopefully it won't lead to 'or you're gone', but if it does, it does. Hope it goes well.

It's also one of the jobs of the players to protect the fun of the game, but that's a different conversation. ^_^

Oh I know. I just hate confrontation. That said, I don't plan on it being a "or you're gone" type deal as I think they'll be able to handle it maturely. I actually really enjoy having them at my table, this issue not withstanding.

Totally understood.

Really hope it works out, then. Hoofing people is never fun.

GMs have a tough job, I hope you're able to defuse the situation and get everything on track Kahn.

On a more positive note, due to the pandemic driving my drinking up a bit, I am doing dry January this year to reset myself somewhat. I hope to use my more sober time to do more art.

I mean, I drew drunk on occasion as well and it was a fun time, but y'know more quality work.

Might even take a cue from Gen and do some free request drawings if I feel so inclined so... I guess mentally brush up your OCs over this month.

I might take you up on that.
