[QUOTE="Hereticus, post: 4785953, member: 83093"] I will admit being in a bad mood since Thursday evening... when a game I worked hard to prepare for never happened. The local 4.0E game in town ended when three of the five players other than myself either moved, or had family issues. We only ran ten games. My on-line 3.5E game has pretty much came to a halt, for whatever reason. I joined a new 4.0E game, and we've played for a half year now. We lost one DM due to a job change, and we are about to lose our second DM (and his wife) due to a job transfer. I travel an hour 15 minutes to that game, and it will continue, but another 20 minutes further away. That's too far to travel on a work night. I ran an 8th level Delve Night for that group on another night for three weeks, and it went well. So I wanted to try DMing 4.0E again. The local store owner said he had five or six players, but no DM. I volunteered, and despite that a 16th level adventure was a stretch for me (along with the the new PHB2 characters that I haven't seen played yet), I put alot of prep time into the game and in understanding the basics of the 16 character classes. The game flopped, nobody showed up or bothered to email. Yeah I was a bit pissed. I apologize if I've pissed anyone here off, that has not been my intention. I specifically want to apologize to Pirate Cat who had to clean up after one of my rants, and to Rechan, who that rant was directed toward. Whew... that's better, I got that out of my system.
