Yeah I actually tried beehaw initially but they never dealt with my application, so after a whole I just went with Lemmy.world.

My dad taught my brother and I and it was always either nothing or, more often, just simple grid paper and dimes/pennies. Still do it that way if I’m not using Roll20.

Not to discredit any of what you said, but to add to this I think a big piece of this that often gets glossed over is that since then the parties have become more ideologically sorted. Back in the day, conservative Democrats often worked with conservative Republicans and progressive Democrats often worked with progressive Republicans, and that isn’t really an option anymore.
