That isn't a point of contention. Nobody thinks you actually secretly want to do it. The points of contention seem to be whether the...

It is very weird to hear people describe a multi-session game as a 1 shot. Aside from that, lots of folks play once a month (or less)...

That's the problem with necromancers, they're always just rising out of the woodwork. :)
