    That Haskell/D&D barb hurt me twice

    Just start playing.

    Forget about memorizing the rules. Just make shit up as you go. After you get some experience, look at the rules again, you’ll learn some cool new things.

      I’ve been running various tabletop games for 25 years. The problem is not rules, system, imagination, or equipment. It’s getting 3 to 5 adults in their mid 30s to gather regularly in person to do anything that is the challenge.

        The only people I know who want to play are my BILs, and one of them lives a bit more than 4 hours away. They also have changing work schedules.

        I’ve only ever run games online with small groups. It inevitably turns into such a fiasco that the campaign fizzles out.
