[QUOTE="DungeonmasterCal, post: 2304618, member: 5388"] On the other end of the scale, I'm not a hard core gamer at all. I love D&D, and spend lots of money on books that actually see very little use as time goes by. I'd play every night if I could, but it's not ever going to happen. My group hasn't met since April, and I've only played once since January 15th (yes, I can remember the date), even though they've met a few times since. D&D is a hobby, and a hobby, IMO, should never supercede real life. I get to play maybe 6-8 times a year now (and that includes running games for my son and his friend). But I refuse to game when something else comes up. If I'm not feeling well (and since my accident that's been a lot) I won't game, because I know I won't have fun. If my son wants to do something non-gaming, we do that instead. My wife and I are separated, but we get along and still go out and do things. That takes place over gaming. Some of the guys in my group really can't grasp this, but I see that as their problem, not mine. I've never given up sex for gaming. EVER. I once stood up and walked out of a game I was DMing, leaving the screen and notes where they were, when a girl I was very interested in dating showed up at my house asking if I wanted to go to a bar where she was participating in "sexiest banana eater contest". It was well worth leaving my players in the lurch. Well worth it. I have, in my single days, made my players wait in the living room while I and the girl I was seeing at the time had our "alone time", and I don't believe in quickies. Some of my players got mad and left. Too bad for them. I was always in such a good mood afterward I ran some great games. Anyway, like I said, I love gaming and wish I could do it more often. But it's nowhere near as important as everything else in my life. It's a distant, distant runner up to real life. [/QUOTE]
