Message: <blockquote data-quote="Chimera" data-source="post: 266171" data-attributes="member: 2002">Sorry to be tired and lazy here while I rant a little.  Just wanted to go off on the Clique-ish Minnesota Gamers.  Hope you don't mind.  (If you do, please skip reading this)Ok, I was perfectly fine with this when it was just ME and a group of long-time friends.  We didn't recruit outsiders, so we weren't hurting anyone by being clique-ish.  But it's getting irritating as hell for me in dealing with my two new(er) game groups.  Both are groups of long-time friends and/or they play in other games together.My CoC group consists of the GM, his wife, a close friend, me and another guy.  The other two of us are pretty much outsiders as these three aim the game at each other and constantly bring things to a halt to talk about their mutual events and acquaintences.My D&D group consists of five guys who are playing in at least two other games with each other; and me.  The game is constantly interrupted by discussion of those other games, or of their mutual events and acquaintences.  I am a total outsider in the group and it's wearing on my nerves.On top of it all, I just moved, I have been unemployed for close to a year (Tech market majorly sucks!), I'm getting married shortly (just got the license) and much much more.  In short, I am too exhausted from everyday life lately to deal with this crap.As much as my soul cries out to play! , I think I'm going to have to take some time off from gaming.  Give me a month or three and I'll be casting about for new games.  Games played by groups of people who have NOT been friends since High School.  Heck, I might even be ready to GM again.  For a group of people that I don't know, who aren't going to interupt my description of the bad guy's lair with an aside about their kids, or their vacation, or whatever.Thanks for letting me vent.  I go sleep now.</blockquote>
