Wow, I want to know where some of you people find time to play in/GM so many different games.
My wife allows me every other week, and the occasional game day. But that's about it. Those of you playing 3+ games, are you in college, or high school? What gives?
I'm out in the "real world", working full time. The answer, in my case, is that most of these, I don't play very often.
I have three regular gaming groups, plus the folks I play RPGA stuff with.
- Two 3.5 groups meet about once a month (I DM for both of these). One group plays on Friday nights, the other on Sunday nights.
- The other group is my original group, which has become kind of geographically spread out as people have moved. We get together 4-5 times a year (sometimes for a couple of days at a time), and play several different games during those meetings.
- I go to a couple of big conventions a year (GenCon Indy, Winter Fantasy), and play a couple of different RPGA campaigns there. Also, I play RPGA stuff online, too, probably 2-3 games a month.
So, on the whole, I play 3-5 times a month, with three or four long weekends of serious gaming per year.
PS -- my other secret for playing often is that my wife is part of the first three groups I mentioned. So, she's more forgiving of my time playing than some wives might be.
