Does anyone here actually play in a weekly RL Rpg game?
Recently started in a bi-weekly game. Logistically, it's a serious challenge for me, and it's taken almost 3 years to find a game that might work at all based on location, day, and time. But, we've met 5 times time (which is 3 times more than the prior two groups lasted), despite the disruption when the GM unexpected went into the hospital, and it looks like it'll keep going.
This particular group has a lot less RP in it than I'd like, but I am enjoying the social aspect, after ~20 years without it, and the hands-on aspect (I'm a tactile learner) is noticeably accelerating my grasp of the system (vs. learning it via PBP). Also helps to be able to ask about a point, and get an immediate explanation.
So, not a perfect fit and not easy to manage in my circumstances, but I can, and want, to work with it.
I'm still hoping, eventually, to find something local, but even though my town city-fied itself almost a decade ago now, only the tweens and teens are that lucky yet. They get to have a weekly session at the library. The adult population in town seems to think board games and bunco defines gaming. :P
