[QUOTE="robaustin, post: 477798, member: 2703"] We've had two folks in our gaming group have kids and it did not affect us in any big way. One was when our DM and his wife had a baby, we had a 2 month hiatus and then came back to playing just fine. Since both of them play in the game it was pretty easy since we played at their house. The other guy who plays in our group, when he first had his little one, brought the little guy to the games a lot. It was alittle awkward at first - he sometimes had to get up and do a feeding, changing or whatnot, but generally worked out well. He brought the porta crib and set it up in another room and the baby slept in that... Now the little guy is almost 4 and plays with our DM's daughters (5 and 1 1/2). Doesn't have to mean then end of your group at all as long as you and the whole group are accomodating. If, however, you have folks who aren't "kid people" this might not work out as well.... Also - if you plan to play at the person's house who has the baby, you might do better with evening sessions. When we play on Friday nights, the DM's daughters are already in bed - so we play from 9 PM to 1AM (or later) - and we get in a good chunk of a game without interruption. --*Rob [/QUOTE]
