And here is where it all fell apart.
The missing player finally turned up to a session. The DM had decided to give Roll20 a try, so we had a virtual tabletop to play with, but no-one wanted to listen to his explanation of how to use it and the absent player kept trying to talk about unrelated stuff that no-one was interested in.
Everyone else was finding it difficult to work out how to use the new site, especially with the other site that our character sheets were on, and so instead of listening to the DM who was still trying to explain how to use it and being interrupted by a blast of LOTR tavern songs, they gave up and decided to chat instead about video games. At this point I quit the chat because if the game wasn't going to be played I could be doing other stuff; but apparently it was decided that the game would be postponed until lockdown is lifted. If it is ever lifted.
I am so disappointed in everyone. The DM was blaming himself for it all going wrong when it wasn't his fault; if everyone had listened to him as I had, we could have gotten it all working and have played the session, but apparently discussing Fallout glitch exploits is more important. You'd think people would have the decency to listen to the people they consider friends, but they can't even do that. They won't do any of the background stuff necessary for a playable game outside the play session so we waste an hour at the start of the session waiting for them to do it then. They weren't willing to spend a little money on a subscription which would reduce the amount of reading they'd have to do, despite the fact their respective disabilities render them all but illiterate.
I'm letting my frustration get to me and I am probably exaggerating a bit but I just wish something would work properly for once and that people would actually do the things necessary for everyone to enjoy something.
So, obviously, this is the last instalment of this particular series until we pick it up again.
If we pick it up again.
