[QUOTE="Tim Hubick, post: 6311465, member: 6749195"] so i just wanted to start off with, I'm a DM and I DM a group of 3 players. currently we're in a campaign. I currently have a strong love for D&D, but i also have a very strong love for making tanks called Terrariums, Vivariums, and Paludariums. about a year ago, i started a pretty big project to build myself a 120gal vivarium tank. it was extensive and the only time i had to work on it was on weekends. well every sunday evening is when we play D&D. players were getting mad at me for skipping D&D to work on my hobby. I work evenings till 8pm and after work i get pretty exhausted and i just wanna come home to relax. while i was working on that 120gal viv, it tooks 3 months to complete, and alot of money. well in that time frame, i cancelled D&D to work on it. thus the players werent happy with me. Now thats all done and we're gaming again. but now i have another Tank that i'm ready to build and now the players are worried and angry that i'm gonna take time off again to work on it. I do and I dont. how can i sort through this situation? how can i balance the two? [/QUOTE]
