[QUOTE="aboyd, post: 4844201, member: 44797"] I run a D&D 3.5 edition game. I voted for the 6 hour option -- I spend about 6 hours to prep for a 6-hour game every other weekend. As it is, I don't typically feel very well prepared. There are times mid-game when I am reading over some text for the DM in a module, and the whole game goes into a lull while they wait for me. However, them's the breaks. I can't do better as I don't have the time, and in fact I'll do worse in a short while when I start up my new job. A 6-hour planning session and a 6-hour game means that every month I lose 24 hours of free time to this game. As a working man with a wife and kids who need my attention, getting 24 hours each month is [i]really difficult.[/i] I try to get around it by including the family on as many games as I can, but sometimes they are completely uninterested. I end up doing "make up" time with them, going to parks, going swimming, getting away from computers and nerd games. Between D&D, work, and family time, there is almost nothing left over. [/QUOTE]
