Everytime I leave the house to do anything, I either

1. get shit from people because I am wearing a mask -either minimizing and simply gaslighting comments, or plain agression
2. when they seemy mask they decide to share their grief with me. It is so hard to listen to all the stories of people dying and becoming disabled from covid, shared by maskless people. I tell them masks work, and they should vaccinate. But it is so tiring. I am just trying to survive. I wish others would help each other survive. I am already tired from my chronic illnesses. Seeing the COVID numbers rise and no one masking or doing anything and staying in denial is horrible for my mental health. I am trying my best to hang on to my sanity. I wish you all that you stay sane too.

Question as in title.

Hi! I am looking for one player to join our wednesday group.
System: to be decided together
When: Wednesdays, 7PM CEST (CET)
Where: Discord voice chat
Safety tools used: Consent form, checking in after sessions
Players needed: 1
Language: English
Game master: me, or another member of the group, no one - or everyone (in our oneshot GM-less games) or if you have an idea for a campaign or one-shot- you as well!

We are are a group that enjoys games that, above all else, help us create an interesting story. As players, we like exploring, problem solving (in a broad sense of the word) decision making and seeing the consequences, and impacting the world and story that we make together. Player agency is highly valued in our group. We also like interesting roleplay.

I, as a GM, dislike crunchy games that are too far (for my taste) on the simulationist side of the spectrum. We will not play DnD or Warhammer, we will gladly play, for example, PBtA games. I like games that help us push the story forward and give a good base for the roleplaying.

In our group so far we have played games such as Monster of the Week, Fellowship, Masks, Subway Runners, some GM-less games and various one-page RPGs. Sometimes we switch and someone else GMS. We are planning to play more similar types of games, and maybe experiment a little with different systems and genres.

We discuss which systems we want to play and reach a consensus about them, to make sure that everyone is having fun and is feeling the vibe. Right now we are thinking of playing City of Mist next, or maybe Apocalypse Keys or some cypher based system.

Tone: on the scale from "wholesome" to "edgy" the tone is usually more on the "wholesome" side. We did explore some slighlty darker themes during our last MotW campaign, but darker does not necesarily equal "edgy".

We have banned some topics from play, one of the banned topics is violence against children and animals.

Genres we like (the list is not exhaustive): high/classic fantasy, space fantasy and sci-fi, urban fantasy, cyberpunk, humorous or weird games

Currently we have 3 active members (including me) of the group that are willing to play campaigns, and a couple more who are on hiatus or join us for one-shots only.

Requirements: -Be an open-minded, inclusive person that accepts human diversity and does not discriminate any minorities. -Be willing to read the systems that we will be playing to prepare for the sessions (we will gladly share books with each other) -Be willing to communicate openly about the systems that you want to play. -Be willing to communicate about preferred styles of play -Be willing to be patient - I am neurodivergent and can be just a little bit scatterbrained at times. -Be 18+. People in our group are all somewhere between 20's and early 30's -Be ready for an adventure :) If you want to join or have any questions, post them below or DM me.

Hlo I have a linux laptop (popos). I use lutris to launch my windows games. I have a pdp controller for xbox. It works great with steam and legit games but does not work with games i launch through lutris, no matter if pirated or legit. Lutris recognizes the controller in the wine control panel, it just does not work in games. Another controller, also pdp, but in a different color, works fine with lutris games. What is going on here? Can i fix this somehow?
