I am, and you sound like you are.  But not every person interested in playing a little D&D (or whatever) is.  I wouldn't take any of it as an insult to your skill or style - they just don't feel the "importance" of the event anymore than they might feel the "importance" of playing Parchisi on a bi-weekly basis.  What's the solution?  Well, if you really *need* to game 2x a month, find people as dedicated as you are. Keep searching. Get enough games going that you're filling your time quota.  You might even run into some people who could game as much as you want to...but don't count on it.  You're in a social hobby, and you take it seriously. There's nothing wrong with that, but it has to be tempered by the fact that not everyone will take it as seriously as you do.</blockquote>
