[QUOTE="geezerjoe, post: 1029966, member: 8603"] I'd suggest 5 +/- 1 (not including DM). I like that value despite my role. I really like once a week with the occasional break ... from the game and sometimes from the group :p I prefer 4 to 6 hour sessions, but longer sessions require planned breaks and a "get your crap in order BEFORE the game" mentality by the group. Often with longer sessions it seems like the players feel that they can do their homework at the beginning of the session! :rolleyes: Come on! Dude, do that at home ... you're screwing up my game time! :p I can enjoy 100% of each but I like a reason for the Crunchy bits. As a DM though I've found that my group in the past couple years couldn't give a rat's hinney about story ... that really leads to burn out for me. I LOVE 2 different types of books ... books that give a genuinly different way to play a character (not just PrC's but approaches too) and tools for the DM. I can't wait to be able to afford Arcana Unearthed but I was very disapointed with the Psionic's Handbook ... something SO different from magic shouldn't (IMHO) feel just like magic with "a twist". My current "most wanted" book would be a book of maps, 50 - 200 maps of all types. I'd pay upto $10 for a pdf, but not much more for a hardbound or softbound. In printed format, I'd rather have poster maps or printed 8 1/2 x 11's with 3 hole punches. I'd pay upto $30 for something like that depending upon the number and types of maps included. You're welcome :) l8r) Joe2Old [/QUOTE]
