[QUOTE="Ghostknight, post: 3460647, member: 15338"] With me, its staying up till 2 or 3 in the morning- she just doesn't get how I can function on only 3 or so hours of sleep the next day. (I generally get up at 5AM to go for a run with some friends followed by a Krav Maga training session) Unfortunately, shes just not interested. Ah well, what can you do? On a more positive note- I am infecting my sons! My wife would freak if I tried to introduce them to D&D since she thinks it would give my youngest son nightmares, but Traveller is ok :cool: They asked when they saw me preparing some Traveller stuff for a session and I relented. Heh, they are 6 and 3 so let us just say that the role playing aspect is decidely missing- but the "gun shooting game", as my 6 year old calls it, is a great hit and the older at least is starting to get the idea that you can do things besides shoot the bad guy :) Its ok- they ahve a few years to go before its inappropriate for them to be the munchkins they are- after all, they ARE munchkins :lol: Sigh- when Is tarted to play in the 70s the book "Mazes and Monsters" came out, along with all the publicity about the "evil D&D game that was leading children into occultism and devil worship".
