I look forward to my once-a-week game night. Even if we aren't playing D&D or any RPG, maybe just a board game. When something interferes -- work, illness, family, etc. -- it's really a let down, especially when the news of the cancellation comes just a few hours before the game was going to start.
When I was young, we played anytime, anywhere, anyhow. It was rare for a player to not be able to show up, but even if someone was missing we played. We didn't even need a quorum. Two guys can play? Fine, one DMs the other through a module, a pre-constructed and poplulated dungeon, or some hastily-made series of fights. Or maybe we just picked a couple of monsters out of the MM (or gods out of the D&DG) and pit them against each other.
We'd play at the very least once a week. Sometimes 2-3 times a week, even if only for an hour here and there. If we couldn't play, we could at least talk about playing.
Nowadays, with a family, a career, and all the other things that go along with them, once a week is the best I can manage. And there very little "shop talk" between game nights.
Our game night for tonight just got cancelled. And it disappoints and depresses me.
Is it really pathetic for a grown man to mope and pout because he won't be able to get his regular game fix this week?
