[QUOTE="JeffB, post: 5426650, member: 518"] Totally agree- I have a wife (my second, I made a mistake the first time around :D ), an 11 yo, a baby on the way, a full time job, and I just bought a house. Almost every night after work, I go pick up my son from school/his moms, take him back to my house, help w/ homework, cook him dinner, drive him home then come back to my home. I have him every other weekend, and on the other weekends, I have to do all the stuff I could not do the weekend when I have my son and the focus is on him. And D&D is not even my main hobby. So I have little time to actually PLAY a game, let alone strive for rules mastery and create tons of mechanical BS through some complicated system. It's a [B]game[/B], and shouldn't be work or a chore- I have enough of that/those already. And then you have to coordinate with the rest of the players- they have lives too with tons of complications. and responsibilities. I envy the people who have the time and ability to play regularly for hours, and spend 10s of hours each week creating NPCs and such, but I'm not one of them. [/QUOTE]
