Message: <blockquote data-quote="Vegepygmy" data-source="post: 4403130" data-attributes="member: 40109">Currently, I travel about 20-30 minutes to play. In the not too distant past, I traveled an hour. My feelings about "save or sit out" effects were the same in either case: I'm okay with them. Currently, I play once a week. When I had to travel an hour, I played only once a month. Again, my feelings remained the same. Sitting there listening to others play is not as much fun as playing myself. I don't consider it (as many seem to do) "sitting there doing nothing," however. Sometimes I use the time to plan what I will do when I get back into the action; sometimes I help other players, or help the DM keep track of things. Sometimes I just watch as events unfold, because although being a spectator isn't as much fun as playing, it's still some fun for me. And more fun than most other things I could be doing with that time. My situation is nearly identical. I'm an attorney. I'm married. I have kids. I play one night a week for 3-4 hours. I travel 20-30 minutes to play. Not just you (there are obviously many others who feel the same way), but it's definitely a style preference...and not everyone shares it with you. I suspect, in fact, that the number of players like me is, while perhaps a minority, still a very significant minority.</blockquote>
