Holiday poll - do you get more or less (roleplaying) gaming done during the holidays?

[The Hound]

Do you do more roleplaying or less roleplaying than usual over the holidays? MORE, because you and your gaming group are off from work, school, etc. and your relatives all like to play D&D after they've had their Christmas dinner, or LESS because your buddies are all off visiting relatives far and wide and the only games your relatives want to play are poker and monopoly?

Well, I just got a new group this month, so more as of this year!

Starting tomorrow afternoon through Friday evening - with sleep and food in-between - we will be playing for hours upon hours. Its become a tradition.

Yep, the whole loser and satanist thing. While they sit around and watch NASCAR all day.

Much less, typically. One of my games is on Sunday night, and so the holidays are wrecking it this year, since both Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve are falling on game night, two weeks in a row. We're trying to reschedule, but it looks like a three-week hiatus.

In fact, the holidays are typically the time of year when my games fall apart, due to everybody having busy schedules. After people get back, the momentum of the game has faltered, and it doesn't last more than a couple of sessions after that. Hope it doesn't happen this year.

Less.

If I am not on vacation, someone else is, or several someones. Even though I play mostly online via yahoogroups, the post count goes way down.

There are simply too many familial demands on time during the holidays for gaming not to suffer.

 

[Shades of Green]

No holidays in the winter for me, as I'm Jewish and Israeli and my college has no Hanuka vacation (damn them!).

 

[diaglo]

pretty much the same.

i'm hoping to start the new year off with more.

 

[Wombat]

My gaming group ranges from 33 to 47.

The holidays really cut into gaming, what with family and friends and distant relations.

So, yeah, December is pretty much a dead month for us and gaming.
