Leaving Significant Other at Home to Game on V-Day?

[Aeric]

As one of the two single players in my current Wednesday night group, I am rather bummed that the game was cancelled.

Then again, the other single player in my group is a rather-attractive young lady....

Meh--my wife of 9 years is working, but our game night is Tuesday anyway. We don't generally stand on ceremony, though--especially not for "greeting card holidays"--so she probably wouldn't mind. Besides, I'm so far in the doghouse most of the time that she only keeps me around for one reason at this point, and it sure isn't my money.

As long as you can kill spiders and open jars, you'll be OK. Fear the day she comes home with a flyswatter and one of those jar-grippy things, though.

Joe and I pretty much spend all our time together, so changes in routine to celebrate Valentine's as a special day to spend time together isn't so high on the list.

Plus Joe's not romantic in the traditional sense of the word. His way of telling me how much he loved me before we were married was along the lines of "I love you so much, it's disgusting, like when you put your hand in garbage and something moves."

We'll be gaming tomorrow....or well, I should say, we'll be roleplaying tomorrow night

That reminds me of the Family Guy episode where they roleplay in bed.

"I'm a paladin with a 16 Charisma and a helm of disintegration."
"Peter, paladins can't use a helm of disintegration."
"Oh, then I'm a black guy....."


Ah, here's best wishes to all the lovers (and gamers) out there.

I try to be thoughtful and sweet all year, so I tell everyone I get involved with that I don't do Valentine's Day...it's the one day of the year they can be sure that I'm not going to do anything special because I resent being pressured to do something that should be done from my own heart, not heavily marketed social pressure.

My wife is not a gamer. Valentine's day means more to me than it does to her. I choose not to play on Wednesday because it does mean something to me. Takasi is risking the dog house treatment if he's going to avoid his wife and game. We play together.

If I'd ever actually had a significant other, I'd never even consider leaving her on Valentine's Day to go game

 

[Mycanid]

Neither ... no significant other and I have no plans to game on the 14th. I have other plans.

So, we moved it to Saturday and made it an epic all day session!!

What, the role playing or the roleplaying?

That reminds me of the Family Guy episode where they roleplay in bed.

"I'm a paladin with a 16 Charisma and a helm of disintegration."
"Peter, paladins can't use a helm of disintegration."
"Oh, then I'm a black guy....."

our usual game night is wednesday, so of course we had a choice to make. three of us have wives. two more are married to each other. two more are living together. guess what we chose? well, the remaining young single guy loses out.

not really much of a choice when you think about it. the only other thing would have been to reschedule, but i guess we couldn't settle on a day so we took the week off.

I wanted to go out with the wife, but I have a board meeting for a non-profit I help out with. We are really struggling to survive right now, and I can't miss this board meeting.

Valentine's Day is significant to my wife and I because it's the day I proposed to her (something to be said for sappy romanticism ).

That being said, my wife and I are also rabid gamers who have only eachother to game with at the moment. There's really no better way for us to "be together" on V-Day than to game. It's not like we can afford the whole dinner-movie-babysitter bit and even if we could it'd be a hard sell. Anniversaries, on the other hand, are something we usually try to splurge on, though gaming makes it in sometime during the day even then.
