Has this ever happened at Aqua's home?

lol. Fun video, but a couple points of information:
- Playing 2-person D&D is a little weird.
- They're new-wave players, and most certainly the video's intended for that and the lay audience.
New-wave players wear getups. They think D&D is improv, stream their sessions or tie them to some kind of social media thing, use the books as a how-to crutch and even get cross when the DM does any kind of homebrew.
Our group's OG. No getups, and yeah we do character stuff here and there but it's equal parts in-character descriptions, catching up, solving puzzles, using game events to tell stupid jokes and some collaborative world-building. My fellow players aren't influencers but they are very and I mean VERY much into legal substances. How we and the DM treat the game is that it's all homebrew. (We didn't even call it that back in the day, it was just how you played.) And no one records it. Had a guy who kept insisting we give it a go and so we stopped asking him back. Thing is, far more players are like him today than like us. It's hard to find games that aren't of this new kind.
I hate going. Every time we have to drive to and then through Baltimore, they're all massive stoners and we're not, and when we leave it's 3 AM, in Baltimore. But every time I'm like that was awesome when we meeting up again.
