We keep a schedule just fine, that's why we don't need crutches like 1:1. 1:1 is actually a hindrance to groups who play consistently because adventures frequently take more than one or two weeks in game, and thus lock out characters the next time we meet.
>but muh stable play
top two things said before the game dies
>1:1 time
>you will each have multiple characters.

>"One of you should DM next time."

It's a fair thing to say, but every time I've heard a DM say this it's happened right before a massive game/group-killing burnout within 2 sessions of it being said, long before the current campaign is anywhere near wrapping up.

It's been a long term project of mine to make domain rules that are simple and fun. I'm not sure it can be done.

Swear to God I made that mistake one time and the player who volunteered to stepped up managed to bungle everything and cause the rest of the table to dip out, and could not find any new players. All before his first session.

>I have invited my gf/wife to next game, hope that is aright
The gf/wife is never actually there for the game in my experience. They are there because of relationship drama and trust/control issues.

It's totally different if the gf/wife was there from the beginning, or actually on friendly terms with the majority of the group, but when they aren't it's always a prelude to the breakup of the group.

Good contribution to the thread theme but you forgot your meme arrow before the second half of the retarded bullshit the GM said before the game died.

do you faggots understand that knowing that a week passed in game during the last 3 sessions isnt the same as time moving at the same speed as real life?
