[QUOTE="bento, post: 3724256, member: 36597"] Backing up DK on this, the stress comes from balancing free time between family and personal needs. I choose not to game on the weekends because it takes too much time away from my wife and kids. My wife is with the kids all through out the week, so the last thing I want to do is schedule my days off to be away from them. When I tried to get into groups that meet on Saturday or Sunday, it causes marital stress. Every other friday night has become my night out and I support my wife with her own outside activities. So it all works out for us. I think DK was joking a little about laying down the law, but I too have felt his frustration, that time and effort has been invested into a hobby, and no viable outlet has come along that meets our time constraints. Our SOs need us around, but we also want to feed this need to game. I believe RPGing has lost a lot of older players due to scheduling problems and is one reason I think DI and VT will help the hobby. It's not a perfect solution, but it gives an outlet to continue gaming. [/QUOTE]
