The university is at least forty-five minutes from home, though obviously when I was studying I had other reasons to make the trip. Most of the games I've played were held in the suburbs of the Inner West (Ashfield, for instance), within ten or fifteen minutes' drive from the main campus, with a forty-five minute or more drive home for me.Since I graduated, I've either been making the forty-five minute drive from home or about the same length from where I work in Seven Hills.In mid-2007 I'm moving to the Inner West myself right before I get married, which will improve my (and my fiancee's) gaming situation considerably. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Oh, one other unusual case: before my fiancee moved here from California, we used to make the three-hour or so drive from her apartment in San Luis Obispo (she was studying at Cal Poly) up to the Bay Area, partly to visit her parents in Mountain View and partly because we wanted to game with her old DM and his girlfriend in Fremont. So I guess three hours or more is about the longest I've historically been willing to drive for a game, though I wasn't the one driving (she owned a manual (stickshift) car and I've only learned to drive automatics).</blockquote>
