[QUOTE="Buddha the DM, post: 1105447, member: 161"] Before she asked me to cut back I had like 1 or 2 games a week, plus a group meeting. Mind you this was all when we were both still in college a few years ago. I have been gaming on and off for around 12 years now, and I admit that it has been a great source of fun as well as a superb creative outlet. My girlfriend on the other hand has never gamed at all, she has just observed a few games that I have been in. Now I have tried to get her to play but she insists that she can't handle the math that would be involved in gaming. The most that I have gotten her to do is make a couple characters (a Half-Elf Ranger, a Human Cleric, and her latest a Half-Elf Druid). Now I cut back partly because I wanted to make the relationship work out and last (we're having our 4 year anniversary together on Sept 23). Had I known then that I would be this miserable about the lack of gaming, and not so concerned with making things last with her, I would've tried to reason with her so that I could still game a reasonable amount and still have some quality time with her. But the thought to reaching a compromise about my amount of gaming didn't even occur to me then. So now my only role-playing game related outlet is running my rather pathetic website which is currently named [URL=http://24.58.101.90/d20/index.html]The Lost Souls Archive[/URL]. I have put a major portion of the material that I have created for the d20 system on my page, and I am slowly working on getting the rest of it up. [/QUOTE]
