Captain obvious sneaking in, but There is tons of legit way to exercise, not just lifting weight in the gym, you can look for Volley-ball, Rock-dancing, or karate-class all of that is a legit way to exercise, which may even be cheaper and more fun than going to a gym.

Regarding your other points

  • Get a T-shirt and either a short or a pair of legging, to start-with you don't need any of these high-end expensive fabric (Which may help if you plan to climb an alpine summit or run a marathon, but not to lift some weight casually). Total cost should be in the 10-15 EUR range (It sucks to live in a world where clothing is built by slave-like-labour).

  • Most gym would include a couple of coached session as part of their beginner package. But a typical program would be like warm-up on a threadmill/eliptical then a bunch of strength exercise either on machine or free weight, and 10 minutes of cool-down with stretching, you can modulate duration/intensity depending on your goals.

  • You can do a lot at home with body weight. However, being in the Gym sometimes helps as you are in a dedicated place with a dedicated time-slot. ideally choose a place either near your home, or on your commute, if not you'll never go there

so he uses 5e.tools, and that is all he uses his phone for. Another does not have a PHB, but has meticulously copied all of their abilities from my PHB,

I don't play D&D, but is it expected that player have their own PHB? In games with complex abilities (and even in some PBTA), I either let she rule book on the player side of the table, sometimes prepare a cheat sheet (a great way to learn the mechanics), and sometimes share a pdf when I have only that. So needing to pay a rulebook as a player seems odd to me

The whole We play a game so you have to cooperate together even if role-play wise it makes no sense is a bad practice, May-be not at the point you'll leave the table but definitely a serious sign that the table doesn't function properly.

Luckily, there is a very easy fix Do a session zero, and build a coherent party ab initio, it include in game reason for the party to work together, coherent goals (because when player A wants to abolish the reign of the emperor, and player B wants to defend the emperor you'll have a PvP fight within 3 session) and a meta discussion to have a pallet of skills matching the party's goal (At least in more epic game where you don't want to feel powerless). Almost every RPG published in the last 10-15 years contains an extensive session zero guide and tons of tips to build a relevant party.

If someone wants to play a law priest in a pirate campaign or any other character not fitting the campaign theme or opposing other PCs, it's perfectly OK to tell the no. Obviously if everybody is aligned on some PvP and betrayal the answer may be different, but it's again something to address in session zero.

It's way to avoid a lot of rpg horro stories the classical one include

  • Clear description of the game (which is done in this comic) properly managing expectations is already great

  • Line and veil, in the sense writing done theme that you don't want at the table, and themes which can be present but not in plain sight for example most people do close the door when having sex, so let's do the same in tabletop no need to go further than the bard joined the elf in their room, and what happened behind closed door stay behind closed door

  • X card, which is a kind of last ressort measure and allows anyone to stop a scene going to far

Then, some people push further and added way to modulate the intensity of a scene, like asking for more or less depending on how you feel. Being at the verge of tears after a consented intense scene can be one of your best RPG memory ever but being at the verge of tear after feeling like another player assaulted you, can be a horror story, and the difference is just about Accepting it

Allez pour la peine, une découverte récente, un truc aux accents medievo-sorceresque, mais en fait assez electro pop mais qui a des élements qui attirent mon coté amateur de métal

Au delà de l'Ironie de la situation, le Bilan de Macron/Darmanin (et maintenant Rétaillau) en terme de sécurité est une catastrophe.

D'un coté on a une explosion des cas de violences policières, avec pas mal de manifestants gravement blessés pendant la gilets jaunes, et ne parlons pas des jeunes de banlieue qui en prennent pleins la gueule. Mais maintenant on a carrément des enlèvements contre rançons.

Quand je pense que sous Jospin, il y avait déjà une peur panique de l'insécurité à cause de voitures brûlées

Usual reminder that you don't need mini, and that if you really want some, a cheap alternative is to print images on poker-token (that you can buy for a ridiculously low price on Ali Express)

As usual when talking about 3D printing, look for a fablab near you. While individual printing will be more expensive, it includes the rent and maintenance of the machine, and gives you access to a wide variety of machine to match your specific needs. IMO, unless you plan to be a heavy 3D printer user, the fixed cost of even a cheap machine won't offset the extra cost of going to a fablab, having access to high quality machine, and a local community of enthusiasts

Yes, even non profit clubs need a constant influx of newcomers, whose member due will pay the rent when the ancient will leave. And for game shop it's even worse. It's a hobby where a 50 € book can entertain 4 adults for year, so you need new comer to keep selling.

My local rpg club runs monthly discovery session and many GM gladly take beginners at their table. (most) RPG have relatively straightforward basic rules, any semi decent GM can give you a 30 minutes briefing with enough information to play. Most of these hugs books aren't rules but story, and special abilities (e.g. Magic spells and potions) so you don't need to read them before playing.

Usually, I advise to look for one shots session to start it allows to discover a game and test the alchemy with other players without signing up for a 2 years campaign.
