Noom God, you no come round here no more.:(

Yeah, I know. Not on purpose though. Good news is that I'm finally working full time; bad news is that there's enough work for me to work full-time and because of that, haven't really gone on EnWorld much during the day. As for the nights... well, for a while I'd gotten really back into WoW [raiding with guildies is fun, but after a while in the same dungeon Naxxramus, it becomes monotonous], but I'm taking a break from that atm.

I'd actually sort of gotten bored with EnWorld and really only checked out the media section occasionally. Our group was playing 4e and for some reason, none of us were particularly inspired by 4e overall and no campaign lasted for very long. One person sort of DMed without really wanting to and none of the rest of us wanted to DM 4e either. After two weeks, we decided that we'd had enough of that and unanimously decided to return to 3e.

Not that I want to start a 3e vs 4e debate here, but for some reason, we all enjoyed playing 4e, but none of us could stand DMing it. Maybe it's because the source books are basically all crunch and with no fluff, they don't make good reads and seriously, who here hasn't enjoyed reading some miscellaneous 3e fluff and said 'wow, that's awesome; i'm totally using it in a game'?

So while we switched to 3e, we're noticing that while we so far like 3e better overall, there are certainly some things about 4e that we like and I have a feeling that our 3e will be an amalgamation of 3e, pathfinder rpg, 4e, and book of experimental might [from monte cook, interesting read, some 4e-ization in a 3e-based game].

I'm glad you're working more. That's a good thing these days.:) I can understand getting burned out on ENWorld. It happens and it happens to me from time to time.

I've been playing a bit of WoW myself but it's mostly solo. I don't have any friends that are close enough level to find doing any of it interesting.

I'm not a fan of 4e either. I have a group that switched to it and I dropped out. They keep trying to get me back in but I think it's mainly so the DM feels he won some kind of victory winning me over.:-S

I love the fluff in books. I buy them to read and hope to add to the game. Maybe WotC wants you to create your own fluff. If we could all do that they'd be out of business.lol
 

I've come to the conclusion that afternoon gaming is not so good for me. I don't get enough sleep. I want to try to put together a group that can play at night on Saturday or Sunday after 8pm.

I'm a little worried about what kinds of people I will find that can play at that time.:p

I'm pretty sure they would be pretty interesting.... but I'm not sure you'd want to leave your door unlocked after the last left the building.

One of the things I'm worried about. The game room is at the other end of the house from my bedroom.

I do tend to meet new gamers somewhere else first to get to know them a bit before telling them where I live.

pfft- like a locked door would slow down a vampire!
A gaming vampire would be awesome.:p
