Message: <blockquote data-quote="jdavis" data-source="post: 671101" data-attributes="member: 8704">Yea but by page three the situation has been fleshed out a whole lot more. As far as the not showing up arguement goes this has taken a life of it's own outside of the topic and it is obvious that there are several ways to view it and they are all just opinions. The fact is that everybody plays different and expects different things out of the game. You can't say "hey you are wrong it has to be this way and only this way" in this discussion. Yea almost everybody in our group has a wife and/or children. One person carries a beeper and may have to leave at the drop of a hat if it's his weekend to be on call, and one guy used to run a tech suppost desk (the one who got e-mails on the IPAQ). One player's father-in-law is really sick and he misses a lot and has to be in almost constant touch when he can make it. That's why we don't play deep serious games anymore, the real world just won't let us. We are thankful we can still game at all, heck we don't hardly see each other except on game day, it's the only regular "friend interaction" left to us. If we got as touchy as many people around here are on stuff the game would fold within a week, the game is less imprtant than our friendship, D&D is just something we do when/if we get together.</blockquote>
