[QUOTE="Crothian, post: 3509168, member: 232"] Welcome to EN World!! Many of us you will find are just like you. We have jobs, families, and life and responsibilities outside of gaming. I found that first I set one full game night to talk with the group and hammer out what we all want from the game. I see if people want it to be more social or more gaming. If you get lucky and everyone becomes good friends then hearing about one of the Guy's kids is not that big of deal anymore. My group has even scheduled cook outs, zoo outings, and other things that were not about gaming so everyone could meet the families and the wives could meet the other gamers. Now to the in game stuff. If we have rules issues I tell the group to write down what the question is and I'll make a quick ruling. Then later in the week someone can look up the rule, or we can ask questions on EN World, and get the rule right. And I'm more then happy to change some things if I get a rule wrong and it screws over a PC. But if we get a rule wrong and it happens to help a PC we usually let that go. We have our own message boards for just the group. We use it to handle paperwork, shopping, and it allows me to post a summary of last week's adventure and an opening to what is going on this week. We also plan special events, and use it for socializing. A couple of guys that had to leave the group because of outside situations still read and post there. The biggest thing is shopping and selling things. Now all that happens on the boards and I got the players doing it. Once you get a lot of that stuff out of the way it allows more time at the game session to be used for what you want it to be used for. Best of luck!! :D [/QUOTE]
