Oh yeah I spent one session playing with real life friends, but it was actually pretty infuriating. We had all made our characters beforehand but ended up spending like 4 hours on one small intro encounter cause people started drinking and then got extremely drunk and couldn't remember anything from one moment to the next. They then called the game too confusing and went off to smoke weed before passing out.

We never played again.

That sounds a lot like the first time I ever played, except we didn't get confused or quit.

Drinking is fine and I expected the first encounter would go long as people learned, but they just drank way too much for the game and then were like "lol this game is too complicated".

Meinberg ran a fun little D&D game with a couple of us but we also only did one session. Capps was "that guy" in the party though and kept trying to steer us off track and question every NPC long past when the rest of us stopped caring.

We should do more RPGs though, the one Byers ran was really fun.

Despite our flaws as a community I feel that sa mafia is by and large a group of kind, understanding, and generous people. That's why I'm confident that in posting apostate courier's gofundme nobody here would confuse it for solicitation or begging on her part. If you can support AC in any way it'd just be further proof of the quality of people that make up sa mafia and help to set it apart as a family.

I am sorting my bags as we speak. I have many different Le Pliage and carry a pink leather crossbody most days because it rules. Oh freepeople's reusable shopping bags are also amazing.

Do you know what the Purse Forum is? There are many many pictures of bags there. I have even seen people's bags having tea parties it is really, something, else.

for me it depends on the occasion. i mostly use the recycled suit bags because it gives me the opportunity to buy garish suits i wouldn't otherwise, helps my recycle and also looks unique

for business i have an old 90s beane briefcase, and i have ... a few dozen travel bags and four laptop bags and 3 backpacks :X

Thanks for this. You're a pretty cool guy to play party games on the internet with.

You're great. You're all great. We may yell at eachother and call eachother idiots constantly, but what family doesn't?

I would be up for a pbp d&d.

Asiina posted:

Capps was "that guy" in the party though

the few times I have played d&d it was with multiple that guys. and despite everyone being sober it was just impossible to get anything done; people would just not be paying attention at all.

it really does seem like an enjoyable game though.

Play by post can be good fun. Doing stuff over hangouts has its advantages, but can also be rough if there are scheduling issues. I think I've come to prefer the advantages of the play by post format, and it's probably best suited for those of us who do the Mafia thing on forums.
