No computer and no games make my partner something something

My partner and I are going on a holiday for five days, which means *dun dun DUNNNNN* NO GAMING FOR FIVE DAYS. Poor thing. Who in their right mind would want to be battling waves on a beautiful tropical island when they could be at home battling undead rogues instead? I really hope he can [...]
