I'm 32. I have a wife and 3 kids (two of which don't live with me). My commute is 1h30m (depending on traffic).

I play every Wednesday and Saturday.

Wednesday is a short game, usually 8p-10p. My wife doesn't get home until close to 10 because my daughter has dance class (game is cancelled if I take her).

Saturday is a game I run. It's typically 7p-11p (although it can run past 12 sometimes). I've been running this one for quite awhile since before I met my wife.

I'm extremely grateful that she lets me have this hobby. Besides woodworking it's my only other hobby. I needed something that wasn't more coding. I used to sit at my desk at work and then come home and sit at my desk working on a side project but I burnt out super quick.

The thing that makes it possible for me is Roll20[1]. I've never met my group in person. I've never even seen a picture of a few of them. We met on reddit and a dnd discord and the rest was history. We're actually planning on an IRL game in the coming month or two, so there's that.
