[QUOTE="Imruphel, post: 3485616, member: 15684"] I'm the same age and went years without playing as a result of moving to Singapore from Australia and being too busy to find Singaporeans to get into D&D with. However, I used that time to prepare a couple of different campaigns which, when I returned to Oz, I was able to DM for a good couple of years. I've since moved back to Singapore but I still only play when I'm back in Oz. Fortunately, my business allows me to travel back a little more regularly these days... three games in the next two weeks! I agree. I think one of the most important things to do when you're feeling a bit drained by D&D is to stay away from messageboards or at least stay away from threads where the topic includes: - rules debates; - comparisons of editions; - Forgotten Realms (my preferred world but, sadly, threads involving FR as a topic generally devolve into "everyone is a munchkin" etc...); - anything to do with a WotC business decision; and - pretty much anything posted on the WotC boards. Learn how to use the ignore function; stay away from the trouble-makers and the nay-sayers. Read some good story hours/campaign journals to remind yourself of how much fun a good game can be.
