I also want to point out: if the main impediment is the ability to play games comfortably with a controller on TV, my wife and I are currently playing Cyberpunl 2077, modded, on a TV, in a different room of the house, using a playstation 5 controller.
both Steam Link and Apollo/Moonlight (I found Apollo's setup of virtual displays out of the box to bw superior) work very well.
See, i thrive off that a bit... i always stress over having the right map for everything i want to do, but i have come to realize that my players can be just as engaged when they use their imaginations. That, and i use the rule of three:
Have three places preared, have three lore things prepared, and three encounters prepared.
We are a mixed online/in person group, using Foundry, so it took a bit to get the vibe right.
I also am doing an partial home brew Faerun, where Faerun gives me the overall structure, which takes a bit off my plate.
That and.. ahem.. borrowing... from all the fantasy novels and bringing them in as homebrew.
Gave my paladin a Sword of Truth, but the whole "you can only kill people you think are evil" is a curse mechanic of the sword. Also, he gets itchy whenever anyone around him lies.
The players found a magic bell that has charges which can be used for multiple 1st level healing words, or one mass healing word once per day, with 1d4 charges recovered per long rest.
I am lifting a concept of Holds-based magic straight from the Ericcson Esslemont GURPS rules (in my 5e Faerun, Mystra is Basically K'rul, and the weave is basically the warrens, but there is a deeper, more potent, far more chaotic form of magic that is dangerous).
My wife wanted to be a druid/harry potter character, so i found a home brew ruleset for her on potion making that expands her ability to brew potions and stuff, with the main limiting resource being time.
One of my players wanted to be Kalashtar, so i have a thing where her granparents fled with other Kalashtar to Faerun, and the Quori basically hunting her family down (yay for big bads!).
I also have another person who wanted to be from critical role's Tal'Dorei, so why not have a multiverse sized campaign where something his character does causes one of the villains and him to be pulled through to a new realm? Boom. Theres the story. BBEEG#1 was trying to do something. Player from Tal'Dorei is a powerful wizard thats expirimenting with crazy magic. Both do a thing, pull each other through to a new place for both of them. Quori want to be able to conquer places physically? Boom - whatever the player and BBEG#1 did weakened the barriers between universes. The Qouri discovered this and now they want to conquer every material realm on the multiverse. Kalashtar character doesn't realizes shes the lineage of the long-thought- dwad taratai. Qouri inspired recently found ways to navigate the multiverse, and murdered most of her family. Boom BBeg #2: qouri invasion.
For sandboxing, i am trying to run with three possible BBEGs, and reacting to their choices.
I made a little solo game outside that i used to determine the BBEGs' actions to some extent and to take some of the pressure off of me having to actually make decisions.
Plus... playing it out, super fun, i can change it if i want to, AND i can throw in flavored encounters to slightly steer the players focus...
I also try not to get attached to NPCs.
I LOVE creating them - whenever i play video game RPGs i spend way too much time in character creation, and then end up restsrting five pr six times before gettig my "playthrough" character...
So i have well over 150 NPCs in Obsidian. All mostly detailed out and such.
And that doesn't include the ones msde up on the spot because my players want to go ask a random guard where the cheapest booze is.
But i will be carrying them from campaig to campaign, so its not wasted work :)
Unsure, but they are about to 100% forget they now have this quest until level 20 and are fighting a necromancer and his army of the dead and then suddenly need to keep turning surprisingly well made mirrors until light opens every door.
Makes you wish there was a store... Or a place... Or somwthing where you could get components for you phone... Like maybe a store that sells radios... Or, hell, even a shack...
AGCO is the US distributor of many European brands, and they are one of the big three i. The US. I believe they resell Fendt, Massey, Valtra, and Fella (as well as their own brands, and other, smaller US brands).
The film companies, including Killing Link Distribution and movant Voltage Holdings, disagreed with the lower court decisions. They appealed to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, requesting a reversal.
Welp. Sounds like part of hollywood never heard of the Streisand Effect.
Your... Your character is built around the Ballmer peak???? That. Is. Brilliant.
Mind if i use this for an NPC quest hook in my current campaign? My players like to have their characters drink heavily and break stuff. It would be an amazing little mini game of "feed the Nuke alcohol, but not too much and not too little or they will explode and take everyone with them". Except... Not like a bomb nuke... More like a trauma-fueled-bull-in-a-porcelain-shop type of thing.
Any further details you are willing to share about your character and their motications, I would be incredibly grateful.
Yeah, i find this to be awesome, because i can now leverage the other player's back stories into WHY they lost their memory. Or use it as an inflection point to shove the players a bit.

Identify - (a pearl worth 100+ GP) Spend 100GP to fine out what this 10GP sword does.
But, for some reason, many then choose denouvo instead...

Woah, woah, woah...
Its called "sandboxing" now.
How long did you have to spend to become immune to Iocane powder?
Unsure, but they are about to 100% forget they now have this quest until level 20 and are fighting a necromancer and his army of the dead and then suddenly need to keep turning surprisingly well made mirrors until light opens every door.
Dawnbreaker was a cool sword though.
Just want to point out... their "equal" and "correct" map is missing New Zealand...
I see you never learned the dark art of Mail Merge!
Sounds like the plot to a video game... That video game turned out great for the company that did this...
Makes you wish there was a store... Or a place... Or somwthing where you could get components for you phone... Like maybe a store that sells radios... Or, hell, even a shack...
Having just one more critic won't really do anything... Right UHG?
Isn't access to the internet a fundamental right in the EU? Wouldn't blocking access be a violation of that?
So... General Strike to stop the coup?

You seem to forget, American politics, especially Republicans, are governed by the age old law of "Fuck you, I got mine".

Its still frustrating.
