[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 3923450, member: 2020"] [b]From Edena_of_Neith to Monkey Boy[/b] (very solemnly) Monkey Boy, my name is Edena_of_Neith. Since you have asked, my I give my advice to you? Cherish your friends. I swear to you from hard experience that friends are something to cherish, something to hold onto, something to fight for. You say you drive 2 hours there, and 2 hours back, for them? *You* are certainly their friend ... and I sincerely, really, really hope they are as much your friend as you have shown yourself to be theirs. Don't give them up. Stop the game. Tell them you're having no fun. Tell them things have changed (as they inevitably do) and that you are not having fun. Then - if they are willing - try a new approach. A new game of D&D? A new roleplaying game altogether? A new type of game altogether? Perhaps, a whole different interaction between the group involving sports, getaways, and other fun activities? But don't give them up. Not if you can help it. Cherish your friends. Friendship is so hard to attain in this world, and it is so easily lost. You have a whole group of friends, with the potential for IMMENSE joy and fun. It may not be in that game, or in D&D at all, or even in roleplaying at all, but they are friends, and friends working together have a million options for fun and good times. Don't go on being bored and enduring the lack of fun. Talk to them. Ask for change. See if they will accommodate you. See if you and they can work things out. And maybe try something new. Because I know from personal experience just HOW MUCH joy and fun and delight can come from a group effort. Trust me when I say it is immense. Cherish your friends. Yours Sincerely Edena_of_Neith [/QUOTE]
