Not everyone reads the General Gaming forum. And a lot of members haven't posted in... Ever.

It's just kind of sad.

QUOTE (Paul @ Nov 10 2011, 10:04 AM)  So how often do you actually get to sit down and game, whether it's online or at the table? I've geeked out on OpenRPG for several years now, because my town is too small for a FLGS or other gamer-central. I play various games several times a week. Exalted on Tuesdays during the day. Monday and Tuesday evening are Pathfinder, and friday through sunday evenings are more D&D. I've seen various shadowrun games going on here and there, but have not joined them due to oddball house rules that I didnt want to deal with. |

I've been trying to get things going again, but things are falling apart again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif)

Haven't seen this thread for a while.
For the last few years, I feel like I've been so busy with work, building various physical skills, and focusing on developing face-to-face relationships that I haven't had time for an RPG nite. That being said, I also feel like I don't want to close the door on it. I feel like the more life experience I have, the better GM I would be. Especially since in my work I deal with lots of people who have various problems in an urban sort of situation. I feel like it would allow me to populate a modern day or dystopian RPG setting with believable, well developed ordinary NPCs. And then, the more tactical training I take, the more time I spend hunting in the desert, the more medical first aid and survival skills I acquire, and the more I train with classical weaponry like spears and longswords, the better and better tactical scenarios and house rules I would be able to come up with. Maybe in ten years or something I can turn around and run the best, most realistic RPG sessions ever. Now if only I could find a system that simultaneously didn't suck and which people also will want to use. |

Why would you bump, Paul? For shame. Plus, 3278 duplicated the thread this morning. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Yeah, he was looking for this thread actually. Which is why I bumped it. His question was more specific than mine own.

Haven't played in, oh, about 2 years now. Had a baby, that's why, and I work a lot, too. I think I might have time for a play-by-chat game, but now that I've been out of it for a while, I find the prospect daunting. Trying to get everyone's schedule to synch up, knowing the rules, the time required in running a campaign, etc. Seems tough to get back in. I've started writing again, maybe that's a first step that'll get me to want to play again too.

Teach the baby to play. It's educational!

The thing is that you need to find a group of people all willing to sit down and learn a system, and then meet regularly. Practically speaking no wonder there's lots of people who say they'd like to game, but don't really have opportunities. |

Isn't that the only point of having kids to give you someone to GM for?

I haven't been able to really play in several years. I was on New Seattle: Shadows Evolved (text based game) for quite some time, but I was more of a Reservist type player than anything due to my constantly busy work life. Now that I have moved on to a different aspect of my job, I thought I would have more free time to throw down on some gaming, but I haven't actually had much free time to even be online until recently.
Hell, when I moved out to where I am now, I thought for sure I'd be able to get in on some Shadowrunning at least once a month. There is even a decent sized group within an hour from where I live. Do I usually have the time to hit them up? Nope. Sadly, nope. |

For Table top at least once a week at the local comic shop,right now me and my friends have our blood bowl league going. For Computer/video games it a bit more random some times I might go a week or two with out playing any thing although right now I'm slowly getting into Evochron Mercenary.
