  • Here are a few cents from my side. I’ve been running games for about 20 years now, and if I had to start out now, it would be daunting. Critical Role and all of that set the expectation so high, and a lot of our communities don’t take you seriously until you created your own world. Creating a dungeon with monsters to fight seems easier than creating social encoungers.

    So here is my insight: Talk to your gm what you like and what you dislike. Also, check other systems, maybe something free-flowing like blades in the dark is more up your speed.

    Tell your GM you are fine with a premade module. way easier to prepare and most of them are a good mixture between combat and social encounter. If you want to stick with dnd, maybe still have a look at paizos Abomination Vault adventure path, its foundry module is delightful and its a really fun adventure with a good mixture of dungeon crawling, fights and social encounters.

    Do a session 0 and decide, what kind of game you want to play.

    Get your GM a copy of the Return of the lazy GM. It helped me so much with just letting go and get the players to do things. Encourage your GM to let a session run by the players and tell him when you had fun.









  • Thank you. The nuclear fanboyism is crazy here and on reddit. Looking back, almost all nuclear power planta in Germany had to shut down over the last summers, because the cooling water Was either not enough or too hot. That technology has run it’s course and every potential investment is better routed towards renewable, battery capacity or green hydrogen.

    In addition, the european pricing for power is defined by the most expensive source - and nuclear as well as coal are power sources that are getting more expensive, raising the cost for users. Supporting both sources for energy is madness.

    And yes, tearing down windfarms for coal is fucking stupid, as is hoping that russia will keep selling us gas. Europe needs it’s own power infrastructure and has enough potential for it.
