Get your favorite takeout and sit at elm park if the weather stays nice. People watch and just hang out together, see how you both click. Walk around and look at the geese, be silly, be yourself, and have fun. Cross the bridges and take selfies together. Walk down to the bean counter afterwards to grab a fancy coffee drink and share a dessert.

Something inexpensive is the Elm Cinema in Millbury. It's 6 bucks a movie, cash only and they have inexpensive concessions.

A&D pizza is also right across the street and also not too pricey. They have good humor ice cream novelties.

I thought this rule changed recently too but I can't find any info online applying specifically to Worcester. I just tear off and throw out any greasy bits and recycle the clean bits.

but, in general: when in doubt, throw it out. if the recycling stream is too contaminated then it gets burned or dumped into a landfill instead of properly recycled.

You wanna learn, or you wanna play?

I'm already running something, but I'm not running it anywhere near Worcester.

I can, however explain stuff. I play in two campaigns and host one.

Edit: if you play PC games, I'd snag Solasta. It's the best reproduction of D&D on PC

I, too, would like to join a newbie group! I'm currently in a game with my husband and his friends, but I very much feel like an outsider since it's my first campaign and they're more his friends than mine, you know?

The easiest way is to find a local shop or get your friends to start playing.

If that doesn't work, you can go through DND discords and jump into new campaigns online with random people. roll20 is what I have to use nowadays. There are plenty of people starting games nowadays online that will help new people learn.

I would say find 3-4 of your friends and just start playing. Who cares if you don't know all the rules, it's best to play with people you like and trust and just have fun. You can even dm yourself.

For sure, some cyclists need to chill. But drivers running red lights and speeding are a much bigger danger. It would also be a lot easier for cyclists to ride predictably if there were good infrastructure in place for us. Believe me, I would rather stay in a protected bike lane than ride in traffic.
