[QUOTE="DungeonmasterCal, post: 1525832, member: 5388"] Well, I have to say the presents were all complete surprises. The table came the first Christmas I'd been back after moving away for a year. They barely gamed at all during the time I was away, and it was a nice feeling to know I was appreciated. Most of my (current) players have been with me since the mid 80's. I was on summer break in college, some of them were just getting out of high school. We gamed through college, moved around a bit, and then about 7 years ago most of us found ourselves back together in a different city altogether. Fate, I suppose. We're all adults now, some with kids, some married, some still single. All of us professionals with little time to get together like we once did. But when we do, it's always fun. A couple of my players make a nearly 6 hour round trip drive for every session, and that's very rewarding, just knowing they'd do that. Our campaign message board has been a little slow (but so has gaming), and the online roleplay they do warms my heart. They've nearly always been supportive of my incessant rules-tinkering, and very patient with my odd schedule that sometimes makes me cancel games at the last minute. They keep coming back, and more so than the table and the tickets, that is the greatest reward I can receive. Guys, if any of you are reading this, thanks. [/QUOTE]
