Wrote up my now-ex-lunchtime #OSE #TTRPG campaign. Some people might have success with short sessions, unfortunately I do not. Wasn't terrible though.

@tinheadned 45 mins is ambitious! The kids and I play 1.5-2 hr games and they work really well, usually can fit in one encounter and a bunch of exploration/dialogue/intrigue or whatever. Used to be short ones (ie < 4hr) because their concentration was lower when they were young but found even now that it's a really nice session length - easy to plan, also means a bit more flexibility I think, esp if you can fit in more frequent sessions as a result. 45min tho - killer!
@UraniumSlug yes it was indeed ambitious - it's doable with discipline I think. But we didn't have it.
@tinheadned 45 mins doesn't give you a lot of time to get into the flow of anything, though if you're playing OSR and the gameplay isn't too deep I guess it's doable
@UraniumSlug 45m was okay, we'd have a fight or an explore, sometimes both. 30m because someone arrived late? Hrm.
