[QUOTE="Lord Zardoz, post: 2867539, member: 704"] Kenobi65, I agree with pretty much everything you have said. Thats why I stated my observations on this topic as the first post in this thread :) I more than aware of the reasons for my current set of difficulties in finding and maintaining a game. I know as well as anyone that being dedicated to playing in a game does not mean you can continue to do so. Both of my previous games were killed by stretches of overtime at work. And I am very much a realist, and acknoweldge that other people are very likley to have demands on their time that prevent them from playing in a game, even if they want to. While I have no objection to playing with gamers in their 30's and 40's, the problem there is the same for me as playing with gamers in their 20's. In my last game, my boss was one of the players, and he was in his early 40's. My own problem at the moment is quite specific. The first part is that I have recently moved, and essentially do not know anyone. That problem will eventually solve its self. The second problem is that I am impatient, and really craving a game. That is a problem ceated entirely by my own state of mind. At the moment, I think that my best chance for finding a game will be to keep my eyes open for the next gamer convention that takes place in Ottawa, and simply show up and play. At the worst case scenario, at least I will get a couple nights of one shot gaming in. Of course, none of the above changes the fact that I am fixing for a game right now, and utterly lack the means to make one come to pass. END COMMUNICATION [/QUOTE]
