I have had many friends throughout my life try to get me to start play D&D. I know I would enjoy it, I just have far too little time to start schedule it that into my life as well, plus very few friends in general. Let alone ones that would consistently make time to keep the story going.
I have always enjoyed making up crazy situations, mostly just to play jokes on people.
It’s great you have a solid crew and get to be DM and have a lot of fun together!
Looking forward to learning more about this game from you.
It really is time consuming. I spend around 10 hours total every week on DnD if I count in both planning and playing. But I love it and enjoy every moment of it.
