Watching the 8th anniversary stream before I jet off to work. Haven't been able to play since I got hit with the rubberbanding bug so bad that I keep crashing out of the game.
I still love this game! I may not be able to play, but I love watching people play it.
And I am so jazzed for the new chapter and the single player game coming out.

!!!!!!!! D&D chapter looks awesome!
Okay. I did not grow up with D&D. I have probably told the story of growing up during the Satanic Panic of the Eighties and having a conservative mom who'd heard about James Dallas Egbert.
However, grown up, contrarian Ref likes the notion of D&D, but I am terrible with maths, ergo, while I love the creative side of TTRPGs, the accounting part breaks my brain.
I've played a Call of Cthulhu oneshot at a convention.
Well, the rubber banding isn't as bad as it was, but I still crashed out of a trial. /sighs/
I know I probably need a better computer, but dang it, I can't afford one. /sighs/
Nope, still crashed out of the game during a trial, even when I cranked all the vid settings down as low as possible. /sighs/
One of my friends played a 3 month long "internet tabletop gaming" roleplay that centered on WWII. She seemed to really enjoy herself, and tried to show me how to do the same in a sci-fi themed premise, but I found the "roll for __ " confusing!
What sort of computer do you have right now?
There's a lot of people playing TTRPGs via the Internet - in fact, D&D grew out of tabletop war gaming that people would play using small models of troops/hardware/etc.
And then Gary Gygax, a huge fan of Lord of the Rings,, decided to combine wargaming with high fantasy tropes... and the rest is history.
I've got a midsize HP Pavilion that's about five years old now, and DbD used to run fine on it till a recent update.
So... seems the secret to getting the laptop to play nice (heh...) with DbD is to 1.) restart the laptop, and 2.) run Disk Cleanup and Defrag.
