[QUOTE="Holy Bovine, post: 607326, member: 203"] Heh - that is exactly what I was thinking! In highschool we would play [i]nearly every day[/i]!! We (there were 4 of us) would make sure we had the same 2 periods off giving use about 2 1/2 hours in which to play D&D and eat junk food. We took over an old classroom that was no longer being used, we even had the blessing of our teachers after a few of them observed us playing. Boy do I miss those days :D Now I play about once month and DM every 2 weeks both last anywhere from 4 to 10 hours (average is about 5). I'm trying to start DMing every week again and hopefully this will be happening (might even get one of my players to start DMing again too). I certainly would call a 4 hour game session a 'waste of time', perhaps your probelm player has other reasons for wanting out of the game? I'd talk to him about it, perhaps he is just not enjoying playing anymore. Don't take it personally! I have gone through similar things. There was a 3 year stretch where I didn't play RPGs and it had nothing to do with the people I was playing with - I was just burned out on DMing. Fortunately D&D 3E came along and rejuvenated me!! :D Oh yeah - my 800th post! Whoopeedo. ;) :D [/QUOTE]
