[QUOTE="Aramax, post: 5427012, member: 49002"] When I got married 24 years ago My wife and I had to write and sign contracts that my church made us.In the one for her I stipulated that I would be allowed to play twice a week and go to 3 conventions a year. This has allowed me to keep up my weekly game that is soon going to enter its 30thYEAR! I only play once a week now and I almost never go to cons,but that is my choice(that and my work schedual and lack of money).In reicent days I have considered quiting or changing hobbies but the wieght of the near 30 years keeps me going,I realize I could be a much better DM but am held back by my mediocre players who are my best friends.This frustrates me like when the Batman pc engaged in an active discussion with the Superman pc about the relitive merits of strip clubs,Ah well...So to some degree I dumb it down and we laugh and still manage to have a good time. I dont think Ill quit untill I am too old to roll dice(or more correctly too old to be able to understand the dice....)and I think Im stuck w/ my players,after all theyve been w/ me since the begining.
