Message: <blockquote data-quote="DungeonmasterCal" data-source="post: 2172746" data-attributes="member: 5388">No...I never said anyone had to work on Friday nights; no one wants to game on Fridays. Only one of us works shift type work, and he works for a company that makes it very, very hard for him to request specific times off.  If he doesn't work what they schedule him without a very good reason, he'll lose his job.  The rest of us have regular "white collar Monday thru Friday 9 to 5" jobs.  We've tried gaming on Fridays, and a couple of the guys decided Fridays was too much after working all week.  I won't game on Sundays because that's the day I go to church and spend time with my family.  During my time out, some of the guys decided to run a weekly short game on Tuesdays.  That died after about 5 sessions because again, people kept running into obstacles that caused late arrivals or just not being able to make it altogether.   So, except for Sundays, I'm the most flexible one out of the lot.  Anyone who knows me knows I'm just about the least judgemental person on the planet.  I'm not judging by appearances.  I'm stating the fact that I've not met any gamers in this town who are on more than a passing acquaintance with soap and water.  I'm not saying all gamers in my area are like this; I've just only encountered the ones like I've mentioned.  I'm far from the GQ ideal of manly good looks, but at least I shower on a daily basis.Good suggestions, and I've looked at the possibility of a gaming club in the past.  Even checked a couple of local ones that tried to get off the ground, but died after only a few weeks.  I am a member of the RPGA (as of GenCon last year).  But if you read my posts you saw that it's not just my friends who can't make games regularly, it's me as well.  I'm not criticizing my friends, I'm just tired of circumstances not permitting regular scheduling.  I did contact a few folks in the RPGA from the area (there aren't many, it seems) but like me, they wanted concrete gaming schedules.  It's just not something I am able to do, which also makes starting a new gaming club very difficult.When you say gaming online do you mean games like World of Warcraft or Everquest?  If so, I have to simply rule that one out because of my aging computer.  I'm happy any day it even loads a webpage.If you mean play by post or play by email, I'm trying one of those now.  I've never really liked gaming by post, as it just doesn't have the same feel a room full of people have, with the sidetracks, tangents, bad jokes, and just general goofiness.  But, I am giving that a shot so we'll see how it goes.Thanks!  It's really just a matter of the wheels of fate aligning to allow gaming, I guess, because like I said, it's not just my group, but my life as well.</blockquote>
