The thing is, the chairs set up around the table are these awful folding chairs...after a few hours my back starts to itch. (That's what happens when I'm REALLY uncomfortable.) There are a couple of very comfortable chairs (and a couch) just a few feet away, in the same room, so when things start to slow down, I'll go and sit in one, and inevitably I fall asleep.I think boredom does have *something* to do with all this, actually. The game in question is very heavy on combat. There's very little roleplay outside of the occasional in-character joke. (We have a gnome illusionist in the party, as well as a human ranger who's infamous for...well...many things. The rest of the party is often equally wacky. So there are more than a few jokes.) Trouble is, the sessions are eight hours long, and we usually only get one or two combat sessions in. Figure each combat session lasts between one and three hours, and I'd say one is generally a better estimate.I play a magic user (basically a wizard, for those of you who are unfamiliar with 1e). I throw fireballs, I throw lightning bolts, I call upon the awesome power of the Wand of Frost. I try not to get hit. Combat tends to be pretty boring for me. I'm waiting for our other magic user to get high enough in level that I can dump my character and roll up a nice paladin or monk.In theory, we'll be starting a 3e campaign eventually - and said campaign sounds REALLY cool - but I'll likely be moving in the fall, and it's not likely that the campaign will be ready by then. *Sigh*.</blockquote>
