[QUOTE="TheSword, post: 9083482, member: 6879661"] So there is a history to this. I’m from the Midlands and when I was a teenager my best friends family moved to Kent (about 3-4 hour drive away). I used to go and visit a couple of times a year for a week or so vacation and when I did I’d always jump on to his weekly D&D game in the local pub. That’s were I met [USER=7031143]@GuyBoy[/USER] and others. After a few years of that, [USER=7031143]@GuyBoy[/USER] and the most engaged players in that group split off to make a more invitation only weekend group and slowly phased out weeknight games in the local. This coincided to me moving to Guildford (an hour or so away) and I started attending a regular weekend game every 3-4 weeks. Fast forward 10 years and a job came up in Kent and I moved in with one of the DM players as a lodger for 4 and bit years. These were the golden years of gaming! Then when work took me back to the midlands it was back to commuting. It’s a long way to go but we play all Friday night and most of Saturday so it’s worth the effort. The nice thing is we generally fit 2-3 campaigns in each weekend so we get a mix of playing and DMing. Ultimately I think sometimes you have to make an effort if you want to keep in touch with people and when you’ve been playing regularly with people for 20+ years they become friends for life! The down side is it’s harder to acquire newer players but I think that’s another way online games have been brilliant. [/QUOTE]
