[QUOTE="Raven Crowking, post: 3057844, member: 18280"] I have to admit, I have a good group of players. Like some others, I seldom get the chance to play, usually because people would rather play in my game. (Shrug) I haven't DMed through the entire summer because of other commitments, and no one picked up the baton. When I decided to run the WLD, I did so only on the provision that all the players chipped in to pay for it. I might try getting Ptolus the same way..... :uhoh: Back when I was in high school (early 80's), I had players who would pick up modules & materials because they wanted me to run them. When I was in the Army, I had players who would buy pizza. When I was in California, I had players who would host games, and for a while I even roomed with one of my players. When I first moved to Toronto, the first group I had was pretty thankful for the games I provided, and they even remembered my birthday. The group I have now has less disposable income overall, but still remembers my birthday & show appreciation in other ways...if only to tell me it was fun & what they were excited about (or not). Overall, over many years, I haven't had very many players I'd complain about (and fewer that I would both have reason to complain about & kept around). The worst day gaming hasn't been better than the best day fishing, but the average day gaming has been far better than the Star Wars Prequels, so I guess I ought to be happy. :p RC [/QUOTE]
