[QUOTE="jasper, post: 5672674, member: 277"] Some of the following is typical in my xp. Below is my only xp with 4e. Some old college buddys decided to return to our college on Saturday for lunch and to update each other on what is happening etc. That came off with out much of hassle. Then Bill one of my long time players before life drew us apart invites me to 4e game at the local gaming store. No problem get the time, take the wife home. Go to store. Bill is there and none of others gamers are there. Now I arrived about 5 minutes before game time and Bill had went straight from the lunch to the store. Over the course of 45 minutes the rest of group arrives. Much discussion on who is going to dm, what game system, and what module, etc. And other normal discussion on game systems what people are planing to do with their campaigns etc; these conversations were the most enjoyable of the day. I still wait. 1 hour and 8 minutes after game time I look at my watch. I announce that I going to the bathroom and in 5 minutes I walking out the door. I don't care what system I play. I don't care who dms. Just handle me a fighter type class and dice and I just wing it. By the time I got out the bathroom, they had decided on the dm and system. 4E over Pathfinder. And still took over 20 minutes to decide on the published module and people to pull out pcs of the correct level. I never did get an answer why if pc had played thru this module they could play thru again. A little after 6 pm, I very bored and fed up. And to top this lack of time sense group, the dm states," come back on Friday at 7 and Sunday at 1. We generally start on time." I fled the store. Now 4e maybe a great system. in fact this board has made sound better than what all the gamers at local game store make sound. But I will not play with a group that disrescpects me and my game time. I have a job, wife, and other stuff to do. If your group can even park your rear in the chairs with a reasonable time. I don't want to play with you. I can go home and chase the wife around the house with the ice cream scooper. :) [/QUOTE]
