The end of another week, and the start of a bank holiday weekend. Which as a full time carer means diddly squat. Especially over the last 18 months plus because of world events.

But gaming sessions with friends has started to become a thing again. And that makes a big difference to things. Something to look forward to again.

This evening we have a test gaming session at The Luxe. If this is a success then gaming sessions for Fenland Gamers will start back up on a regular basis (assuming world events don’t conspire against us). So here’s hoping things go well.

One more time with feeling, here is today’s thing…

Taking the easy route out with today’s entry for the hashtag and going for one of the alternative themes, Group. Which will also be very very short, thankfully.

Having the right group of people around the table is so so important.

Not every group is made up of life long friends. Often it is a group of strangers who eventually (maybe) go on to become friends.

So that session zero before a campaign is so important for everyone. It helps bond the group (or hopefully starts the process), makes sure that players and DM/GM are on the same page when it comes to expectations (play styles, themes, direction of campaign) , and topics that are off limits.

I’m lucky I have a great group for our D&D campaign. Some are new friends, others are friends I have known longer. All I have met through our game group Fenland Gamers. And I’m looking forward to continuing our campaign with them and seeing where we take it.
