[QUOTE="Lord Pendragon, post: 2486252, member: 707"] I've been interested in gaming since HS, and did manage to play in a regular Shadowrun game during college, as well as a couple one-off 2e games. But it wasn't until I went to Japan that I got to be part of a regular, well-run D&D game (3e). The DM was the husband of a very old friend, and the game was very fun. Flash-forward three years later, and I'm back in the U.S., but I've got the gaming bug bad. I'd been a long-time resident of ENWorld, so I started posting and reading in the Gamers Seeking Gamers forum, where I eventually found a group. They were decent folk, and we gamed for a few months together, but in the end I didn't really click with most of that group. Luckily, one of the players in that group, the one whom I got along with best, had been doing some looking around of his own, and eventually he formed his own group from various sources, and invited me to be a part of it. This is my current group. After gaming with the previous group, I did not really expect the new group to become good friends, although I was hoping we'd be friendly and game well together. To my surprise and delight, they've become really close over the last year. I enjoy doing things with them other than gaming. In short, they've become friends whom I happen to game with, rather than gamers that I meet once a week.That's fantastic, sniffles! I've been undergoing treatment myself this year, and my group came up many Saturdays, where we gamed with them in chairs and me in a hospital bed. It was something I looked forward to the entire rest of the week. [/QUOTE]
