I host late night D&D. Or play team sports. Life is what you make it folks.
Yup, even though I'm pretty new to D&D I'm hosting a game with a few people from the us (I'm from Europe), nearly every weekend I'm chuckling because of the things they come up with, some of the best fun from the entire week, even though it's literally 1 am for me at that time
Yes I get a little bit sleep deprived, but I fix it by oversleeping till 10 AM
Life sucks but this is some of the few things keeping me here
I refuse to play D&D online. It is my "real people time", an irony considering we're all playing imaginary characters.
About five years ago I started hosting D&D 9pm (21:00) Friday evenings. There was a restaurant in town that was open late, largely serving takeout orders. So we requested a regular table in the back corner and they offered us a free plate of nachos every Friday. We usually played for three or four hours, and a few people ordered drinks or finger food -- enough for the restaurant to break even on the nachos at a minimum. It was our "bar replacement" activity. I immediately had buy in from the players, and had to turn people away.
I moved a few years later, and my new house had a large-group friendly basement suitable for D&D. In my new city, I posted looking for players for the same time slot: 9pm Fridays. I was oversubscribed within a few hours. We had a few pauses during COVID, but are still playing at the same timeslot.
I still use the "in person only" rule at my table. During COVID, a bunch we're proposing we play online. I don't want to play online. I can do that with innumerable games that already fill that niche. I want pencil and paper and friends.
Yeah, I mentioned us playing online since I can't exactly fly every weekend to the US just to play dnd
D&D at the latest night libraries!
