Snorkmimi Land would be a great instance name

That is pretty cool!

A lot of the people who responded here have focused on the secrecy, but that’s actually not my goal with it really. It just seemed nice to put the laptop away for a while and have quick reference for rules and plot points all laid out at once.

Do people really have players trying to ferret out secrets that much, or that are that distrustful of dice rolls? I can’t imagine anyone doing that in my group, but maybe I just have a good one.

I do focus a lot more on roleplay and discourage metagaming, so maybe that’s part of it too.

My cat snuggles with my wife when she’s sick. Not with me though 😅

Another vote for no screen! I definitely overestimated how common these were.

Mine nearly dies of starvation every day (allegedly). It’s a horrifying existence 😔

It really seems quite uncommon these days based on all these responses!

It’s interesting, it seems like most people don’t use one based on this thread.

For me the wall isn’t the point, I just like the idea of not using a laptop. I already spend a lot of time on the computer.

It sounds like most people are using a laptop!

I would love to get to that point someday. I still need cheat sheets though. 😉

Did you use one before you knew all the rules perfectly?

I like that NPC generator idea. That’s clever!

I actually wanted to get that DM screen you mentioned but it wasn’t available where I live. Hoping it becomes available someday though.

Well the goal would be to not have the laptop

My cat is like a champion soccer player the way he shoots it under there. It takes like 1-2 taps sometimes, what a legend.

Would people really just exaggerate on the internet like that? 😔

I would agree with that. I’d rather not play than play in a bad group (or a group that doesn’t play the style I enjoy)

Yeah, that makes sense. Those people would really hate my games because I’ve switched to call of cthulhu lately and in that game you are absolutely not powerful 😅

I guess that makes sense. To be honest for me it’s such a social experience who I’m playing with is the biggest thing I care about.

Do that many of you really play in these antagonistic as fuck groups? I see so many memes that imply a very a hostile dynamic between DM and players. I think you might need to find a better group if that’s the general atmosphere.

I’m glad I don’t play with people like this.
