I’m just posting this because I’m kind of excited and I wanted to share with someone. I reconnected with some of my old friends and we are going to get together virtually and do a RPG together! I’m not sure yet how things will go with scheduling, etc. and I don’t know if all my old friends will participate (2/6 so far), but I’m really hopeful! I think this will help purposefully bring us together and give us an “excuse” to be in each other’s lives, which is something I’ve been in dire need of lately. Just the thought fills me with hope and pulls me out of my bullshit doomerism I’ve been in lately!

How do you guys keep connected with your long distance friends?

Edit: committed friends up to 5/6. Unfortunately, I got a nope for the last one. They said they left the past in the past for a reason (oof) and nothing personal against me, and I keep trying to tell that last part to my brain. I guess it’s like grieving, I just need to feel it until I don’t. 😢

    Edit: I just realized you were responding to my question and I read it wrong. Yeah, none of my friends are on LinkedIn, and I think the most of them are on instagram and facebook which I don’t really use these days.

    Original response: That’s a good idea, but the friend I approached to be GM said she’s actually taken classes on how to run RPGs through messenger apps like Discord. I’m having her look at Matrix though, just for good measure.
