My old game group used to meet in a basement with a single light bulb

We would play Risk for six hours straight on a folding table, with one guy keeping score on a napkin. Now we have a dedicated room with proper lighting and I track everything on an app during our Gloomhaven campaign. The shift happened around 2018 when we all got a bit more money and space. Does anyone else miss the messy, simple setup sometimes?

Man, that basement setup sounds iconic. Honestly, do you think the game itself felt different back then, like was it more about just hanging out? I wonder if the fancy room and app makes the whole thing feel more serious now.

Didn't it used to be more about the people than the gear?

Is the app really making the game better or just more complicated?
