I had so many experiences just like yours (including at the goblin camp) that I ultimately soured on the game altogether and haven’t gone back (not sure if I will). I really wanted it to be more role-playing based but anything I see or experience just makes it look way too tactical and meta gaming for me to sink into.

But it’s a beloved game so I know that it’s mostly just me it doesn’t work for. I hope you find whatever enjoyment you can from it.

I agree. I enjoyed it so much I got it after the first post

I prefer my Dickens to be as dour and melancholy as possible. Which is why I’ve always liked the George C. Scott version the best myself. Other than sound volume issues with the blaring horns of doom I think it’s great. But that’s just me.

They sure did. They did Alanis Morriset and it was awesome. But seeing Jeff and Pup tossing microphones back and forth and be so in sync and having so much fun was legit the height of all.

I didn’t know Jeff before that show but they were incredible. And Double Band was the best thing I’ve ever seen at a show ever. Love Jeff now and will see them any time

I have the Thagomizer comic hanging at my desk because I was raised on Larson and to always remind me that silliness can make a profound impact.

Some (obviously only blue) states are starting to implement some groups for themselves to fill the gap. Hopefully they have the budget and success with it to really help it blossom.

They HAD a group for digital infrastructure. Guess who was one of the first groups targeted by DOGE? 18F was the group that was all internal to upgrade services like Weather.gov, Free File and lots more.
