[QUOTE="catsclaw227, post: 4756695, member: 14197"] First, Welcome to Enworld! Second, Welcome to D&D! It is sorta off-topic, but I have a question about this comment: Have you tried face to face gaming yet? I understand that you area family man. So am I! And there are lots of them here on the boards, so there will be a lot of people you can relate to. That aside, finding 4 hours to get away once every two weeks to game is REALLY important to my family life. I get a break, I can laugh it up with friends, I can immerse myself in a fun game, and these kinds of "getting away for a few hours" activities are a known and effective theraputic for relationships. Face to face gaming really is wildly different than PbP gaming, and the entirely different dynamic makes D&D/RPGs play out much differently. Granted there are good F2F groups and bad F2F groups, as well as good and bad F2F gaming individuals. Getting out there can be crap shoot. When I moved from Cali to NC, I posted on Meetups and went to the local FLGS and got a chance to sit for coffee with a potential gaming buddy (or two) and get a sense for people. I guess I was doing gaming-friend interviews without actually realizing it. And it worked really well. I love D&D and if you really like what you are doing now, you should really give it a shot. I am not sure where you live, or if it is even feasible, but I recommend giving it a try. And you wife might like a break from you once in a while too! (mine sure does.... :P ) [/off-topic] As for the PDF sales.... it really sucks for me too. I really, really wanted to get Arcane Power and E1 on PDF. Especially E1. They have lost my dollars on this deal too. [/QUOTE]
