Ash's tardiness to the D&D game leads Cam to fear the worst...
Nerd By Northwest #76 – “A Serious Commitment”
(Click on the image to see the full-size version)
This is just playing on the common occurrence in role-playing games when groups experience the loss of a player when said player gets into a serious relationship. It would be easy to blame the new girlfriend/boyfriend, but in my own experience it's usually the player who ditches the game without any serious pressure from their new partner. Which I feel is a big mistake... for one, it's good to spend some time apart so you don't seem too eager or desperate. But secondly (and just as important), finding a good gaming group can sometimes be harder than finding a new girlfriend or boyfriend. 😉

My only experience of D&D type games was many years ago with a colleague who was into it and I was already in my current relationship them. I can see the appeal, but just got into other things. I know @hockney plays various tabletop games with his partner.
Back in the 80's when I first got started in it, it was just one of those perfect hobbies for a young kid who was imaginative but a bit of an outcast. Thankfully it's become a little more mainstream now and not exclusively a ridiculed 'nerd hobby'. Though being a more cerebral hobby I doubt it'll ever become as mainstream as sports or the like. 😕

Well, I'm not sure if this is purely bot-driven or a real live person actually reviews these posts... but thanks either way. 😊
