HA!
And like I said, if you're weren't there, you might think, "Sweet! What's the problem?!"
But when you have 3 hours or so per week to game, and you're married, and there's not a lot of beer involved, and you really just want to get some orc-slaying time in....
It gets boring much more quickly than you'd expect.

Believe me, I understand. Our whole group is made up of married dudes, except for one who's living with his SO, and we do one good session every other weekend (our only game), so we like to eliminate distractions too.
If we wanted that, we'd sit around and watch a porno instead of gaming.
...ewww. terrible image burned into my brain... Five married men hovering around a 65" big screen.... can't.... get... rid.... of.... it.....

I completely understand.
I'm 37yrs old now so I have some modicum of control over my testosterone based reactions. When I was a teenager I could probably put up with just about anything as long as it had a pair of breasts attached to it.
Nowadays I have a 10yr old son and my gaming time is quite limited. I don't game because I can't get laid, or because I want to play out odd fantasies, I game because I love DMing. I love the creative expression of it.
I think too often gamers are pigeonholed into being total social outcasts. Social non-conformists....that is often true...but losers, not in my experience. In my experience, most gamers play because they love the game, not because they couldn't be doing something else.
No matter how cute someone is, if they are taking away from an activity that's already time compressed, get rid of her.

Yeah, it's amazing the difference that age, maturity, a family, and a real job makes, isn't it?

You know you're old* when a pair of twenty-something models groping each other at the game table is an annoyance rather than something to be marvelled at.
*Maybe a better word would be "mature" or simply "more mature than Rel".
May we never grow old*, good sir!
* Or "mature."
But seriously, there's a time and a place for that kind of thing, and it ain't at my gaming table... there are other places for that kind of "roleplaying."

Hah! Well, this conversation is heading towards CM territory at this point. And, sadly/fortunately, CM is blocked from work. (It's blocked as "cartoon violence." wtf?)You know you're old* when a pair of twenty-something models groping each other at the game table is an annoyance rather than something to be marvelled at.
*Maybe a better word would be "mature" or simply "more mature than Rel".
So yeah. Cheating.

Fair enough. Pardon my derailing the thread.
Quite late to the party - considering where the thread is going - but just wanted to chime in on this early comment.
If this was actually the case, the player would just as often voluntarily lower the number she actually rolled depending how she felt the story should go. Bet that hasn't happened even once.
