[QUOTE="DrZombie, post: 1342577, member: 15640"] I have been in two groups basically. When I was a lot younger I used to game evry friday-evening with a few guys. Didn't knew 'em before i started playing. I guess they were allright in a general kinda way, but, you know, a bit socially awkward. I guess that i'm a sociable kinda guy, it takes a lot to annoy me. The gaming was strickt hardcore rpg, we didn't really socialise even during the game. One night a new player arrived, and it sorta clicked, i mean we were both thinking "thank god, at least someone normal around here". After the game we went for a drink, and another... At about 4 am we were both drunk as skunks, trying to figure out how the hell we were gonna get home. He's one of my best mates now. A few years later I moved to a different town, university city. I've met a bunch of new gamers, both cool and uncool people. A gaming group formed, we used to play at least four times a week (deep sigh). I introduced the guy from the first group to my new group. Real life caught up with us, wwe all got married, whenever we get together it's a bloomin' kintergarden. We still play though. To compare the two groups : the first group was realy strict rpg, and we had a decent time. We had some tensions, but we knew what to avoid. The second group is much more fun. True, we don't actually focus as much on rpg's as we used to do, but basically it's the guys getting away from wives and kids, having a few beers and a great night. Maybe I'm turning into an old fart. Is there any point to this rambling? I dunno. The thing is that basically all my mates are people I've met through roleplaying. There are a lot of creeps, singleminded munchkins and abusive people out there with the social grace of a lobotomised chimpansee, but somewhere out there are people that like having a good time, people you can talk with, and people who will be your best friends. Life is too short to fart around with people you don't like on your free evening, you'll get plenty of that at work. Have fun, meet some friends and dump the rest. [/QUOTE]
