A month of missed games. :(

Argh, this sucks.

3 weeks ago, 2/3 of my players (B & J. Yes, those are their real initials and not some juvenile joke. Mind out of the gutters) made characters for a new gestalt campaign. J didn't finish and assured me she would. 5 days later the 3rd player, T made his character, but didn't finish and assured me he would. He also asked what the other two players were, and I didn't know but I noticed that B's character was there and looked at it. None of the top of the character sheet is filled out, including class. Looking at the class abilities, though, I figure out he's a Barbarian/Monk. Cool.

Wait a tick. I swear Bbns have some kind of chaotic, or at least non-lawful requirement. Look it up. Yep.

Phone call. "Hey, J, can I talk to B? Thanks. Hey, B, you're playing a Barbarian/Monk?" "Yeah." "What alignment are you?" "Umm, I'm not sure." "Because Monks have to be lawful and Barbarians have to be non-lawful." "Oh, yeah. I forgot. I'll fix that."

2 weeks ago, everyone's at my house, ready to play. Except, J didn't finish her character. And B didn't finish revising his character. And T didn't didn't finish his character either. This actually worked out for me because I wasn't in the mood to DM, although I didn't say as much. I made it a point not to help them, though, and by the time they finished their characters there wasn't enough time left to play.

1 week ago, J's car is in the shop. So is mine. J and B always come together (they're boyfriend and girlfriend). J's car should be out in a few days.

This week, both of our cars are still in the shop.

Argh!

So now we're not gonna be able to play til next week. But I should have my car back in a couple days and, god dammit, if I gotta pick all of 'em up, I will.

On the bright side, I came up with some good ideas in the interrim. Gonna have a prophetic dream with a message delivered by a zombie child underwater, as read by me with the pitch raised.

Little Miss Muffet
Sat on her tuffet
Eating her curds and whey
Along came the spiders
That slaughtered and fried her
And had a Miss Muffet buffet


The way I have it planned, it should be pretty creepy.

I hope.

Now I just gotta figure out what the prophesy means. ^_^

In the same boat here. My players are going through a globetrotting phase. One only just got back from Eastern Europe, now another is off to Hawaii. Lucky buggers.

But I really only posted to say that I love your rhyme. Heh. Buffet. *s:):):):):):)s*

EDIT: oops, ENWorld's profanity filter doesn't like me laughing in that particular manner. Perhaps I should have written 'snickers', or 'smirks'. At least it didn't do that damn string replacement thing and leave me with 'sblack persons' like I've seen on other boards...

I can be a flake also, and I just wanna say: I'm sorry I'm a flake, but don't take it personally. It's not about you or your game. It about "out of sight; out of mind."

I don't hold it against 'em (well, except for the not finishing their characters part, but that actually worked out for me since I didn't feel like playing that day). Hell, it's partially my fault since I don't have my car either. Just bad timing.
