What do your parents, or god forbid your children, think about

Anything that gets me out of the house is a good thing to my parents.

to the horror of my bank account

Though we are not americomrades, they still oppose D&D because of the satanism-scare. Don't have anything against other RPGs though and as long as I don't mention D&D, I'm fine.

>>44839345
Oh man, that sucks. I'm really sorry dude.

>>44839230
They fully support it. My mom's friends used to play in high school, even.

>>44839230
My dad got me into wargaming. I found his 3rd edition warhammer fantasy stuff in the attic.
I think he actually used me as an excuse to get back into the game under the pretense of 'spending quality time with my son' to my mother.

>>44839230
My step-mother thinks Chick tracts are true. She's convinced my father of that, too.

My mother doesn't understand any game that doesn't involve alcohol and/or a ball. My step-father only remembers I exist when he's pissed off.

And I can't have kids.

I don't get along with my family, to put it mildly.

My mother is a Quaker, and therefore is fundamentally against violence, even simulated violence.
However she's pretty big on personal freedom, so she supports me doing whatever makes me happy as long as it doesn't literally harm others.
My father is glad I'm not following in his footsteps, I at least don't have a child at the same age as he was and nor do I have a heroin addiction.

>>44839230
Everything I do that doesn't isn't associated with becoming either a doctor or lawyer, my parents think is stupid.

>>44839230
my dad still honestly believes I cosplay my characters so he buys me wizard hats and shit

My dad is weirded out by it, and will occasionally mock me about it, but he doesn't try to actively prohibit me.

My mom is perfectly fine with it, though she got scared when I got introduced to it because Satanism bullshit. In the end it worked out fine because I ended up getting to beta test a game that was made by the guy who first introduced me to tabletop stuff back when I was a kid.

>>44839632
are you asian?

All they know is that I read sci-fi novels, which they consider "a waste".

Just wait till they see their monster girl grandchildren.

>>44839644
And I hate you, too, anon. Let's hate each other together.

>>44839644
I think he's a swell guy

>>44839695
Still a better love story than Twilight

>>44839230
My father saw it as a way for me to relax and express myself. Mother saw it as a waste of time and money. Step-dad doesn't care.

This isn't so much a hobby to me at this point as it is a legacy.

My dad and his boss were the first ones to get me a real rpg book when I was recovering from a major back surgery about halfway through high school. My /tg/ obsession has spirals immensely since then, but I don't think he knows to what degree. My dad's so laid back about everything that I could knock up a stripper and he probably won't flinch.

My mom died before I reached high school, so she never got to see me become a fa/tg/uy.

>>44839642
Heh, at least he's supportive

I haven't spoken to my dad in a few years, but I imagine he would make fun of me for it.

My mom doesn't care. When I told her about it when I first got into it, she just stopped my awkward explanation and said "No drugs or anything else illegal involved, right? Ok, then whatever as long as you enjoy it."

>>44839230
My mum doesn't really understand it and my dad just laughs about it and talks about parts in Big Bang Theory.

>>44839784

You did phrase your operation like was an unfortunate consequence instead of something you chose.

My dad was against it at first because of demons and shit, but he's cool with it now.
My mom died before I started playing, but she probably would have been cool with it because she was a big Tolkien fan.

>>44839230
They're the ones who got me into it, they were DnD 1 players.

So yeah, parents don't care at all. It probably helps that everyone in the group is from our church.

My parents were and are still very cool. Pop reads SciFi, fantasy, and military fiction, so he gets the settings. Ma doesn't understand how it works, but gets that it's about creativity and problem solving. They both think it's kind of nerdy, but also were happy that it was harmless fun when I was a kid. They know I still play and never comment on it except to ask if it's a game night or not when they want me to come over and visit.

My kids are/were into Magic and CCG type shit, which I dislike. I got some of my 40k models from one of my sons who abandoned them when he decided he hated everything and everyone around 16. I actually started playing 40k after he quit. I didn't play wargames as a kid, and initially disliked the idea because my exwife's boyfriend was into it and I guess I was jealous because he shared that with my kids. I got some of his old models too, which is ironic because I gave him a ton of 2ed AD&D stuff when I quit gaming for a while many years ago.

>>44839230
My dad got me into DnD and tends to play with us when he can.

He ends up being the one with the best one-liners.
>"Past you or over you, we need to get to our friend."

Guy keeps rolling wizards... Should probably look into a bard sometime.

Pretty young single dad with a daughter. My parents never really minded though thought it was too expensive of a hobby. My daughter about old enough to start involving in tabletop, and she can definitely play board games. She enjoys the hobby, and it's my attempt to try to turn her from exclusively video games.

They've never made any negative comments (outside occassional ribbing) and my mother has asked me questions about how tabletop roleplaying games work from time to time.

>>44839896
>It's satanic
Why the fuck don't people just pull the cleric card?

Seriously, is anyone gonna debate that a game where you have the option of performing miracles and smiting demons is satanic?

>>44840085
I tried the "The demons are the BAD GUYS!" route with my parents. Didn't really fly.

>>44839230
My parents are chill, playing some of the most popular boardgames themselves. Grandparents are a bit more interesting. They couldn't comprehend the idea of rpgs. When I picked up on ccgs they've instantly connected it to traditional card games and gambling. Hence not only
> Did you win?
but also
> How much did you win?

>>44840085
>Why the fuck don't people just pull the cleric card?
False gods!
A friend of mine once mastered a game for some catholic clergymen. They were chill, just insisted on being Priests of Jesus Christ in DnD.

>>44839345
Sorry about that anon

>>44840085
My dad was joking when he said that, if it wasn't clear. Neither of my parents actually think it's satanic, they both LOVE Lord of the Rings and are well aware that D&D is just another form of the fantasy genre.

>>44839230
I brought my father to my FLGS which is also a cafe, many laughs were had. I played MtG with him as we smoked pot high on morphine that he brought over.

I think he'd enjoy Call of Cthulhu.

So it really still happens. PnP and satanism, always thought it was old 60's stuff. Or maybe it's an american thing. Never heard of this before coming to /tg/ (French here). Personally both my parent don't care what I don't. Evenmore then think of this as social activity so better than vg.

>>44839345
>thanks to a recent operation

Intentional? UK? if so, what age and where did you get it done?

>>44840247

I played with a priest who just played a cleric devoted to good in order to get around the whole picking a god thing.

He was in our group for a session for some charity thing and belonged to the same church as our DM. Don't remember the denomination. His cleric did do a good job keeping our asses alive while we fought mutant werewolves.

He got me into it, ran games for me and my brother all the time. We had a long running Chivalry and Sorcery campaign, it was fun stuff. I remember going into his study as a kid, flipping through giant shelves filled with source books and back issues of Dragon magazine.

God I want kids. Everyone else seems to want to wait till they're forty or something though.

>>44839230
Dad used to play D&D back in the 80's
I tell him about campaign shennanigans and he tells me about his old stories he can remember

>>44839740
Let his memory live on, anon. And then when your children, or even the children of your players, decide that they want to continue along, you give them those minis and you never look back.

My daughter thinks it's the coolest fucking thing in the world. She sits on my lap when I DM, quiet, eyes wide open, watching intently, sometimes gasping or giggling.

She'll probably grow out of it in a few months, I hope.

It's not so much an American thing as certain parts of the US and Canada. I grew up on the coasts around major cities and I've never encountered this stuff in person either, but when you get into the really backwoods areas you can find pockets people who believe some truly shockingly stupid shit. It's also very generational. Young people here are overwhelmingly less religious than our parents were. I've never even heard of this stuff coming from anyone under the age of 40 or so. It's always parents, grandparents, uncles, etc.

>>44839230
>My dad is weirded out by it, and will occasionally mock me about it, but he doesn't try to actively prohibit me.

True /tg/ mentor. Carry his legacy and tell his story truthfully.

>>44839230
My parents played DnD back in the 80s when they were military, so they both understand and accept it. They initially helped me get into the hobby, but I'm way deeper into it now than they were.

>>44840213
Her mother walked out on us after having her. Not sure why, we never got a reason or even a word about it. Thankfully my parents did most of the work for a few years since I was too young to be properly taking care of a baby.

>>44840982
Maybe it's because of Television/Radio, like anti vaccine now; People tend to be easy to manipulate on stuff they don't care enough to learn about.

>>44839230
They don't much know about it other than im into it. they don't care.

I started when I was seven, i had just started a junior course at cartoon school and one of the teachers showed us how to draw D&D 3.0's core races and dragons using Lockwood's reference sheets.After browsing a few pages of the Monster Manual, I saw Reynolds' depiction of the iron and flesh golems and fell in love with the game.

My parents believed it was a tabletop game like competitive risk at first and dad even tried playing with me once. When they finally realized, they pulled the satanist game card and I passed my teenage years playing at my friends' houses to stay away from my parents' judgmental stares. They eventually stopped worrying as I had never committed any kind of crime or big misbehavior so they just believe I'm a lazy piece of shit who didn't want to go to college to follow his longlife dream of being a cartoonist.

I still play rpgs and since I started lurking here I have been getting much, much better at DMing.
Thanks guys.

>2016 - Not following AO and getting nothing from it

My dad played D&D in college. In a way he was the one who got me into sword-n-sorcery fantasy when he gave me his book collection, which had LotR, Shannara, and the Belgariad in it.

>>44839230
I don't like talking to my dad about my geeky hobbies, because despite the fact that we enjoy a lot of the same kind of stuff, I've never really seen him get excited about it or get invested in it the same way I do. And I feel like the "getting invested" part of it is a fundamental part of tabletop in particular. Also because he actually enjoys Big Bang Theory.

I wouldn't be surprised if I found out my mom was into it when she was young, because she had always been a huge lover of scifi and fantasy fiction. But she died before I actually got into tabletop, so I never thought to ask her.

>>44839230
My wife thinks I play poker or some shit with my friends. I never told my parents I was a roleplayer. Partly because I'm ashamed of this hobby, partly because noone in my country knows what it means (maybe a few who watched some stupid shows like Big Bang Theory).

>>44839230
Dad's cool with it, some light ribbing thrown around. Mom died a few years back of cancer, but she'd likely be okay with it.

>>44843576
She's 8, I don't think it will stick. And if it does stick I'm not sure I could deal with my little princess being a ca/tg/irl

>>44844609
Believe me, its better for you two to bond through a shared hobby than to have her grow disconnected from you like so many girls with daddy issues do.

I've been searching like crazy for something to share with my father so we can bond because we never actually share anything, but its been no good. Really, if she's interested in the same things as you you should encourage it. Just make sure she grows independent from you too lest your relationship grows unhealthily dependent.

But I wouldn't take anything I say too seriously. I am 21 and have no kids after all.

Still, I hope I can have a few kids in the future too. A boy and a girl would be great. I'd do and teach them so much stuff.

My parents are fine with my playing, but they are pissed that I'm the one running it in my basement.

The players don't mind though, so I'm fine.

>>44839230
My mom doesn't care, and my dad's a bible-thumper who bought into the "D&D has satanic rituals!" bullshit, but can't stop me because I'm an adult.

>>44844609
It's funnier to me to imagine her to be like fifteen and six hundred pounds.

>tfw love of my life doesn't want kids and eight years haven't swayed her
Welp, maybe I'll make a cool uncle. Who knows?

I'm 37 and am forever DM of our AD&D 1st Ed Greyhawk campaign. My boys are age 7 human fighter and age 9 half elf Cleric We also have my neighbor age 41 elf wizard and his son age 10 halfling thief round out the party. We play every Friday night while the females do craft night. this is the only night of tje week my boys are allowed junk food and soda.

Growing up I had to hide D&D from my overly Catholic mother. She was ok with Other FRPGs and other genres but no D&D!

>>44845398
If you want kids you should just tell her so, that you NEED them and that cannot resign yourself to not having them.

If you are the love of her life she should understand that its something important for you and will do it for your happiness. If she still says no maybe you should think what's most important for you, her or your future children.

If she'd be willing to let you go over not wanting kids she probably wasn't the one like you thought she was.

>>44845398

Age? It's easy at 25 for a woman to declare No kids evar! Once they hit 30s they realize there is no turning back, it's now or never.

>>44845438
Got any fun stories?

Tell us about your children too, how are they?, I want to be a dad some day and I'd like to hear how its like.

>>44845208
Are your parents pissed about gaming in the basement or are you living in the basement as well? My uncle is a carpenter, nearly 50. Smokes weed every day. Works about half the year. Cooks great pizza and lives with his parents my Grandparents who are in their 80s.

>>44839713

>>44841195
This. I want kids. My partner wants kids. But we don't have nearly enough money to raise them properly.

>>44846181

Kids have amazing imaginations. Once you get them into the story they become obsessed. I field story line questions all week long. It has also peaked the boys interest in history, math, cartography, vexology, heraldry, mythology, and fantasy in general. Before we started tabletop a little over a year ago I have did choose your own Adventure books and Heroquest board game to get them ready.

The first game night I wore my old hooded cloak from my SCA days in college and turned off all the lights in the basement which was lit with candles. I had made their characters with them already. When they comedown stairs I addressed them by their characters names. "Dad this is kind of scary"....IAM not your Dad I am your DUNGEON MASTER! evil laughter. They thought that was very corny and laughed, they absolutely love game night. And so do I.

>>44846376
I can't believe you actually made me wish I woke up tomorrow ten years older.

Its a feeling I haven't had since I was 8.

Enjoy it anon, enjoy it as much and as long as you can.

My parents are cool with it.
When I was coming up with plans for a modern military game, I ran them by my dad (a former army officer) to see if they were sound. That was actually a pretty fun conversation.

>>44846352
How poor can you be? I only make ~65k a year and my wife doesn't work. Our son is doing just fine.

>>44846352
If you keep waiting for "enough money", you'll grow old and realise you're still just waiting. Take a leap of faith, and what money can't buy, supplement with love and caring.

My parents are just really glad that i'm not a smoker or a drinker like my siblings they love that I have friends over for such games and actually got me a bunch of pizza for session once.

My mom thought that I would stop studying if I got into the hobby so she was initially against it. When I was still doing well in highschool she became OK with it. My dad doesn't really care, just happy I'm having fun. Tried to get me to talk about it once during lunch before I was leaving for school. I regret only kind of talking about it now. He was only trying to bond.

My son is 4 months old so he doesn't have an opinion. In fact I haven't played since he was born.

My wife is OK with it but it isn't her thing, I just have to spend my allotted pocket money for the month on it if I want new things (just like she has her pocket money for any hobby/music stuff she wants).

>>44845102
I don't know, man. I wouldn't want to push it on her. Kids are flakey, one minute they love something, the next minute they couldn't care less.

>>44845305
No, fuck that. My baby girl won't be a whale. I've already got her in swimming lessons and I'm looking for more things to sign her up in, her mom cooks healthy for us.

>>44839230

Then don't push it onto her. Just ease her into it like you would any kid into a new hobby, let her feel the waters for herself and figure out for herself if she actually enjoys it or just thinks that she does because her dad's in charge of it.
Ask her if she likes magicians, or knights, or dragons, or animal-people, or any other classic fantasy staple you can think of. Ask her if she'd want to play around as it for a little bit once a week, and if so what she'd want to be. Give her some dice (2d10 and 5d6 should do the trick at first) and just let her mind go free; the sense of enjoyment should go before any mechanics. Have her decide what abilities she would have (for instance: Dragons can fly, breathe fire, bite people, and claw things, whereas Witches can charm people, talk with animals, and make all sorts of potions) and then bullshit some starting numbers: +3 to Magic, +1 to Swords, 25 hitpoints, whatever. Tell her she needs to beat a target number whenever she wants to do something cool, and then have her roll whatever dice you think works best. If she enjoys it, great! Keep doing this stuff with her, and eventually advance her to actual rules and games. If not, thank her and be happy in the fact that you gave her the chance to blossom.
The important thing is: "YES, BUT..." let her try new things, and if she does something strange give her a complications; don't shut her down, but give her a challenge. Most importantly though, is let her have fun.

>>44840280

Makes sense, as LOTR is Christian as fuck. Do they also liek Lewis?

My Dad got me into D&D when I was 15, and he, my uncle, my brother and I bonded over it and have a great time playing. I'm forever DM, and it's been a great 4 years.

Did you make a thread about this a while back? I vaguely remember this story.

Southern Baptist Parents. Father is a pastor actually.

I didn't really get into tabletop till after Id moved out. They weren't thrilled and gave me a little shit.
Not a lot. But some.
But I was on my own, so what could they do?

Offhandedly I mentioned to them I was playing with a group of guys from an extremely conservative home school collective.

I named some of the families these guys came from and they've been cool ever since. I wasn't home schooled but the families have enough presence and respect behind them to ease their minds.

The home school families are cool with it for the whole Tolkien fantasy thing. They love fantasy.

Couple that with me explaining its basically "improv acting" and "collaborative story telling" they're a pretty much cool with it.

Now if they would only stop giving me shit for enjoying booze.

>>44839230
Mom's been alright with it mostly saw it as "aw he's finally making friends. Its weird and I don't get it but I'm happy for him." kind of thing. Dad was mostly the same way with a feint vaneer of mockery, but usually of the other friends that played it.

>>44839230
My dad is a total fa/tg/uy, and my mom shares my love for science fiction books. My folks are totally cool with /tg/ stuff. Finally was able to talk dad into giving 5th ed a shot, and he currently is playing a evil campaign with his old gaming buddies.

Both of my parents are huge fantasy nerds. They have a legit library in their house and most of it is Brooks/Pratchett and other types. However, neither of them see the point of games that aren't "sports" so tabletop and vidya are both things that make their eyes gloss over. Also, when I was living with them during college, my mom forbade me from hosting games at our place because my friends acted like a bunch of drunken sailors. But beyond that, they're supportive because they know I love it. I just wish they would stop nagging me to "Get those games turned into books so you can do something productive with that imagination!" Somehow they forget that I never got above a C in english/Lit.

My father finds it awesome and asks me to tell him about games, but he doesn't have the time or patience to actually play. My stepmother doesn't care much for it, but she was really happy when I started the hobby cause I finally started to do something with living people.

My mother plays wizard elves, whatever the system is, and likes social interaction and investigation most.

>>44839230
I have played and still mostly play DnD with mostly close friends. My ever-expanding throve of WMH/Malifaux/Infinity minis on the other hand initially raised suspicion in my parents and later my girlfriends to follow. I just say its like a chess thing and that seems to work out so far.

My father plays with me in a weekly AD&D game whenever I'm home from college. He plays my character while I'm away.

My mother doesn't really get it, but she's happy that I'm being sociable and enjoying time with my friends. She's even willing to put up with my group meeting at the house while I'm home for breaks. She's a saintly woman.

My daughter really wants to play games with us, but I've told her she can't, until she learns to read a bit better (she's 4).

I've been trying to find a game I saw on /tg/ once that was really simple (like it was for kids), it was one page, and you had three hearts, Zelda style, and it only used d6.

Both my parents respect and are sort of impressed of miniature painting and such. Both of them are into crafty things, so there's that.

Mom was mildly worried when I started playing RPGs, with the satanic scare from the 90s, but that went away quickly when she saw the people I played with and what we did. Now they both just think it's nice I get social and have fun.

I'll probably introduce any eventual kids to traditional games, and I'll try to see if my eventual niece/nephew will be interested.

This? I like the simple approach but think 2d6 + attribute is a bit mathy for little kids. I'd be tempted to do something like having a target number that is typically in the range of 3 to 5 (or over), and having the player roll take the better of 2 rolls, a single roll, or the worse of 2 rolls (depending on whether they're using their strongest, middle, or weakest attribute). For difficult or easy tasks, you could change the target number (typically raising or lowering it by a single point). This means that there is never any real math for the player, just comparing numbers and seeing which is bigger.

>Target # 2 (task is laughable)
>Strong = 97%
>Mid = 83%
>Weak = 69%

Target # 3 (task is piddly):
Strong = 89%
Mid = 67%
Weak = 44%

Target # 4 (task is challenging):
Strong = 75%
Mid = 50%
Weak = 25%

Target # 5 (task is heroic):
Strong = 56%
Mid = 33%
Weak = 11%

>Target # 6 (task is incredible):
>Strong = 31%
>Mid = 17%
>Weak = 3%

>>44840318
>always thought it was old 60's stuff
Uh, 80s stuff.

I'm the same way. It's weird as shit to hear about how people still give a fuck about /tg/.

My parents don't speak English, they just assume I'm playing Monopoly with friends and that we get very into it.

>>44855614
Alternately, you could do a single roll, better of 2, best of 3 sort of thing (instead of worse of 2, single roll, best of 2), raising your average target by a point or so. In that case, your chances of success would look like:

>Target # 3 (task is laughable)
>Strong = 96%
>Mid = 89%
>Weak = 67%

Target # 4 (task is piddly)
Strong = 88%
Mid = 75%
Weak = 50%

Target # 5 (task is challenging)
Strong = 70%
Mid = 56%
Weak = 33%

Target # 6 (task is heroic)
Strong = 42%
Mid = 31%
Weak = 17%

I kind of like it this way, because having to take the worse of 2 rolls can feel punitive, whereas the worst you end up with here is having to roll a single die. Also, the gap between the scores is a bit smaller in terms of your chance to succeed, which I also think is good.

Good on you friend, we have a lot of people on this planet already. If you ever want kids, you might as well just adopt. We are going the same route with the girlfriend. None of us really wants kids of our own (age 30 and 35 already), especially since we have close friends with 2 little daughters below us as neighbours. I've watched their "sufferings" closely the past 2 years, and while they are a lovely family and good folks to have around, I don't what to put up with the kind of shit they do by being parents. I prefer my good night's sleep, freedom of inviting people over for late night gaming sessions, and overall working freelance from the couch without interruptions, or from a coffee shop of my choice.

I would never give up this freedom just to have a little person around.

They were about 1/3 of why my group broke up- the rest were legitimate reasons.
Because I have two of my siblings as roommates they feel like they can just show up whenever and consistently showed up during session, despite me consistently telling them when it was.
When I finally just scheduled session around their arrivals, they stopped showing up then.

my dad thinks its cool cause he's military and has painted model planes and jets (and various other vehicles) since he was a teenager. He sees my interest in miniature war gaming as a chance to bond over the painting aspect of the hobby and buys me new brushes/paints/and models randomly throughout the year.
Mom doesn't care, it's just another geeky hobby in her eyes.
Fiance likes it more than video games because i don't hog the TV or sit at my computer with a headset. My hobby table isn't far from our living room due to living in an apartment so building/painting time for me counts as quality time with her as we talk about our days and stuff.

You know what the work week used to be? There wasn't one. You worked until you got enough shit done to not die. Now you have the luxury of not only choosing exactly what kind of work you do (and most of it is sitting on your ass), but also how long you do it, with the expectation of leisure time at the end of the day.

NOT TO MENTION that you also get a retirement and benefits and if you are so fucking pathetic as to find no means to support yourself (which used to mean death) you can apply to have a giant network of professional thieves take other people's money (people who actively work to improve their situation) and give it to you, solely because you are so devoid of agency that you are given the same kind of pity and support that one would lend to an animal. Like a stray cat, if the cat were also unable to hunt, fight, or reproduce.

A "Work ethic" isn't a measure of how many hours you put in. It's your attitude toward self-sufficiency, which you have none of, you petulant, incompetent man-child.

It's however also true that peasants for example never really had dedicated "free time"

Instead, however, their work time was never pure focused work like we do nowadays either. Folk songs, folk tales, social gatherings were often entangled with doing work.

I've been aching to play some tabletop since I've been home from school over winter break, so I convinced my mom, by brother, and my sister to play 5E.

They had fun, and it was one of the most involving sessions I've ever played. They didn't really have any conceptions of limits in the rules, so they were much more creative with what they had (using a frost spell to push a cloud of evil mist out of the way, throwing axes to trigger traps). They also enjoyed the dungeon crawling and combat much more than I thought they would.

Overall, really looking forward to the next session.

Reading a book about ancient history of Mesopotamia, naturally deals with the whole transition of hunter-gatherers into agrarian societies. According to the author's citations, studies of modern hunter-gatherers suggest one only needed to hunt for meat 2-3 out of every 7 days. And I've heard elsewhere such as from Dutch/British visitors to 17th-18th century Southern Africa how damn relaxed and comfortable hunter-gatherer existence was.

Not the whole story of course but interesting to hear. Similarly I've read that the lot of peasantry in Europe varied significantly depending on the century or location and not in the erroneous progressive notion of "everything got better as time went on". German Peasants being better off before the 16th century and their abortive rebellions and the reformation shitting on them and basically re-asserting serfdom, peasantry in the 1400s-1500s of France being fucking awesome but then declining in the 1600s, ect.

I can bring up a similar example. The Hungarian plains were the country's most developed region in medieval times, densely populated and the second place in the entirety of Europe to adopt the use of scythes for harvest due to the abundance of wheat- but after the Turkish occupation lasting from the beginning of the 16th to the end of the 17th century, most of it was wilderness running absolutely rampant, with the populace either living in surviving small clusters of villages or centered around the sprawling rural cities that could keep people safe from the constant border skirmishes. The 18th century saw massive immigration, and in the 19th the plains were a major source of wheat for the entire region, but in terms of technology and society it remained backwards compared to the country's northern regions and with the wilderness pushed back and the natural swamps gone, sand dunes started popping up. By the 20th century parts of the plains were among the poorest regions of the country, and remain rather miserable places still.

Well, they did bring corn here, at least...

Parents are veteran neckbeards. My father has played DnD since the first edition came out, and got my mother into it and they played second edition for years. I pretty much grew up into it.

Your mom has a neckbeard?

Well, my Dad still recalls it sometimes when he feels like mocking me for something, which is all the time.

In fact, he's like that with most things I like.

I never understood parents who mock their children. What the fuck do they hope to achieve?

My parents often questioned and still question my choices, but never mock them.

Sorry for offering our sympathy, asshole. Next time I won't bother.

I think it's the only fun my dad has anymore.

I asked him once if there was anything he enjoyed. He went quiet for a minute, and then said no.

Wow so many children of veteran /tg/ers

I mostly wargame and since i spent tge fiest 8 years of my working life in the army my wife pretty much just plays it off as "oh he's just really into army stuff". She really likes my painting too. I gave her Dad a 20mm painted figure of ieyasu tokugawa coz he's into that shit.

My daughter likes is occasionally allowed to use my old brushes to ruin a mini.

My parents dont mind what i do aslong as it makes me happy sucks to hear about peoples parents giving them shit about their hobbies.
:3 chill at my house guys. No judging here

Well, mainland Turkey/Istanbul arguably, as the byzantine decline was leaving cities depopulated and desolate, with Constantinople having farms inside the Theodossian walls by the time of the Turkish siege.

Holy shit i cant type on a phone

If you ask anyone that is Christian from Eastern Europe, no.

But I bet those that helped the corpse empire stay afloat to keep Russia busy would certainly have nice things to say about them.

Eh, my parents are neutral on it. They aren't interested, but they think its cool I have hobbies.

I don't think I could ever give up my /tg/ stuff to someone else. I know lots of people have what I have, but it's mine. I've put a lot into my miniatures and character sheets, and I'm hoping to make plenty more memories with my stuff.

You're gonna have to let go eventually, bro

I can be like that grognard from a the thread a few months back - only instead of getting my stuff thrown out after I die and only having it luckily be rescued, my family has a vague sense of its worth and can give it to people who I'm sure will appreciate it, at a point where I no longer have to feel bad for my poor miniatures getting stripped and repainted, or the pages of a book I treasured getting thumbed through by someone else.

My mom encourages it. She's a teacher and has used role-playing games with young children who are very shy or have troubles coming out of their shells.

She says children become more social and develop their communication skills a lot.

If only she knew...
God bless her heart

My dad hates and mocks me for doing anything that he thinks is stupid which to him means anything that doesn't directly involve me earning a larger paycheck.

My moms Alzheimers was already pretty bad when I started playing so I'll never really know but she probably would be happy I'm actually spending time with other people instead of being a recluse like I was as a teenager.

IIRC, Vasalgel will be tested in America by the end of this year or at some point next one. I´m in Europe, waiting for you guys to get it to pay you a visit. Actual commercial release will probably take a few more years.

RISUG... not sure right now. Pretty sure it´s closer to release, but it´ll probably still take a few years.

Nothing available in Europe yet.

I get the feeling too many people have that problem.

Try to help him find a hobby. Watching TV doesn´t count.

They brought the true faith to the unbelievers of Constantinople. That has to count for something.

Vasectomybro here. I know that, however, I do not think in nation states. Negros or whites, all the same to me. What matters is that we would be fine with 5 billion less people. I do have hopes for viruses doing huge swings out of africa and india the next decades. A billion here, a billion there and we have to put less stress on the planet.

Yrs. Baths and science.
