Nothing makes me feel immediate overpowering resentment and envy like hearing about people who have D&D campaigns that last years. Meanwhile every campaign I've ever done with my friends has choked and died four sessions in due to schedules getting too fucked and tangled to maintain ANY kind of consistent play schedule

#like i know that campaigns that run for years are extremely rare and ultimately a result of relentless determination to keep it alive #especially as adults with full lives and busy schedules #but i'm the only one in my D&D playing friend group with a fully open schedule at all times #because i'm disabled and home bound and literally cannot do anything. so I just end up feeling so fucking shitty about these campaigns dyin #the obvious answer would be for me to DM but I don't want to fucking DM!!!#I want to play my morally dubious characters with no responsibilities involving keeping the plot going beyond my own character roleplay #I have FIVE evil aligned characters sitting around that I've never gotten to play in a session that I KNOW would be so fun to rp as but ALA #not to mention my fd up teenage warlock who did manage to exist in a campaign for several months but the DM overworked themselves and quit #i am still upset about that #besides if I decided to DM a campaign it'd literally never start because I'd get hyperfocused on the minutiae of random encounters #also i already tried to wrangle schedules once before for a raid group in a video game and I am NEVER FUCKING DOING THAT AGAIN #fivertalks.txt
