[QUOTE="Olaf the Stout, post: 5454498, member: 13703"] With all the "bad/weird/wrong player/DM" threads I have been reading on EN World lately (and enjoying I might add! :D) I figured it was time for a thread with a more positive bent to it. Gerard, a player left my game in October last year to work overseas as a drummer on a cruise liner (half his luck!). Last week I found out that he is back in town for the next couple of months while his ship get some maintenance work done on it. I'm a little surprised at how happy and excited I was after hearing the news. He had only been playing in my group for about 2 years and while I definitely considered him a friend, outside of gaming sessions, we didn't socialise much (different friend groups and stages of life). However, I got along really well wlth him (and Gerard's brother, who was also in my game, but also left to work on a cruise liner!) and I was disappointed when I found out last year that he was headed overseas. He's a really nice guy in general and a good player to have at the table. I was also quite chuffed to find out that after Gerard's Dad picked him up from the airport, one of the first things he wanted to know was what had happened in the campaign while he was away and when the next gaming session was. Gerard's Dad currently plays in my game. His sons introduced him to D&D (and roleplaying in general) for the first time a couple of years ago, when he was in his 50's!. So next session should be awesome. It will be great to see a friend for the first time in about 4 months and to roll some dice together again. So what good things have happened in your gaming group or gaming life lately? Olaf the Stout [/QUOTE]
