20ish years of never saying no, and not once was it worth the time and effort. no matter the group or system, it’s always three hours sitting on an uncomfortable chair waiting for people to stop cutting up, playing handheld games, scrolling their phone, throwing all their skills at a random piece of scenery, or whatever it is they’re doing to waste literally everyone’s time instead of actually engaging with the game in a good faith attempt to have fun in a group, so that I can verify that I’m going to do the expected and obvious thing to do before waiting twenty minutes to do it again because now everyone has to be filled in on what JUST FUCKING HAPPENED because none of them were actually paying any fucking attention to anything but their next stupid fucking joke. it’s like a high school group project with random partners except they’re all useless drunk on top of everything else. if good games are that rare then why would anyone bother in the first place? fuck tttrpgs with a rusty rake.
