When I was a student, a friend texted me one evening:
“Tequila. Name of our usual bar. Now.”
I replied “OK” and was there 20 minutes later. She was a little surprised, but learned exactly the lesson of this post that evening.
Making plans

Proximity really makes friendships better, and at least easier. Some of the best memories are made on a whim. And even with the busiest people you can have a better chance of seeing them with a spontaneous text versus a long-term plan.

When I was a lad, it was two words, the first with a question mark, the second with a full stop
Pint?
Pint.

It is universal. A full conversation from when I was younger:
Øl?

What about the time dimension though? Oh silly me it’s if course right now.

A question mark? You got laid off a question mark?

This is literally how we taught English to the Russian exchange student in our dorm back in uni

Since drinking is most likely their first hobby 😂.

Drinking and fucking around with Ladas in the garage.

too bad I don’t drink anymore, well actually I drank this Saturday while celebrating a friend’s birthday but I literally can’t remember when I drank before that, probably like my birthday in May.
BuuShizzle@lemmynsfw.com 1 year ago
Just happened Saturday. Told the boys randomly to drink at 9pm and they showed up 10 mins later.

This is how easy it is for guys to make plans.

Man I wish.
Getting everyone to agree on a date and time for D&D is harder than any encounter you could face in-game
WhiteHawk@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I swear, planning any sort of group activity with adults is an absolute nightmare
Damdy@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Plan the activity with a smaller group than you would want initially. Then invite others to an already organized event and rely on fomo to get people to go. Works great.

The way myself and my party does it is we play every other week on Saturday from 6pm to 10pm. This way everyone knows the schedule and can plan around it. If people can’t clear their schedule to play then we replace them. It’s harsh but it’s the only way I found to play D&D consistently.
And I myself have excused myself from a game because my life schedule changed and couldn’t keep the commitment I had previously and it would be too much work for the rest of the party to change their schedules.
rockSlayer@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Harsh but fair. It ensures that everyone that can work their schedule out in advance, while also presenting clear expectations for participating in a voluntary hobby. Is there a consecutive number of missing sessions before being replaced, and if not how does the DM work it out in the campaign?
bearwithastick@feddit.ch 1 year ago
You have to be harsh, otherwise nobody gets to play. When we started our new group we made sure to inform everyone that playing DnD is not to be treated as a secondary hobby that can just be canceled for other stuff all the time. Make it your priority, plan other things around the sessions if you want to play with that group. Of course, any emergencies excluded but otherwise treat it as if it is your sport club training. If you miss too many sessions, you’re out.
I know this sounds super arrogant and mean, but it’s the only thing that works consistently.
snuff@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I only run west marches style games now. The pcs need to be back in town by end of session or miss out on carousing or possibly worse depending on where they are. Each game is self contained so people can drop or join as they want.
problematicPanther@lemmy.world 1 year ago
You have to lure them by asserting drink.
WarmSoda@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Food is great too
random_character_a@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I can’t even get more than 3 people to join in a multiplayer session on steam and you don’t even have be physically there.
littlewonder@lemmy.world 1 year ago
What game?
smeg@feddit.uk 1 year ago
You’ve got to get people to commit to a weekly slot, ad-hoc sessions lead to madness
Senseless@feddit.de 1 year ago
It’s been over a year and there are still two people that haven’t finished their damn character sheets.
Doug@midwest.social 1 year ago
Or even just a board game night.
Maybe it just means boring guys. Drinking is a secondary activity, not a primary one.
Donkter@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yeah this convo is either saying they’re going to a bar which can be fun. Or they’re 18-22 and drinking is as much about buying the alcohol as it is imbibing it.
