I'm a professional DM and a retired local con organizer. I write adventures and my own multi-campaign world, create all manner of homebrew, and generally do everything D&D.

Could a card do less?

I kinda had the inkling they weren't enjoying the games, but my response was to prep things directly appealing to their character--they explicitly asked for tough bosses. And then got frustrated when those bosses hit them.

I just wish I'd done the "hey, what's not working?" sooner, honestly.

I don't need to be the person explaining that any good BBEG has an answer to someone walking up and punching them, that the entire party deserves a say in how encounters are resolved, or that to-hits in 5e scale well beyond AC in the later levels.

I hope they find their game.

Heck, half the people my kid calls "aunt" or "uncle" aren't even blood related to her.

This is whackadoodle.

I don't have room for chaff cards, but I always give everyone around me a chance to claim them before recycling. Can't imagine ripping them up or trashing them if someone else wants them.

Not sure we can afford to turn our noses up at anything regarding the climate. Prevention is the best medicine, but medicine is the next best thing.

Yeah, we're really not supposed to have a felon in the white house, either, but nobody's counting.
