[QUOTE="Lhorgrim, post: 5084635, member: 12222"] I consider myself to be fairly mature both in terms of age and attitude, but I still get bored if I'm sitting at a table playing a cooperative game and end up having nothing at all to contribute for very long. 15 to 20 minutes is not that big a deal, but I'll probably start to get bored after that. I won't play Xbox or get on the computer to disengage because I feel like I'm being rude to the other players and the DM if I leave the table like that. I have played the monsters for the DM before, and that kept me engaged and I had a good time doing it. Just find some reason to let me roll dice and affect the outcome of the encounter and I'm pretty happy. If I don't have anything to do while my PC is out, I'm not going to throw a hissy fit and stomp away but I probably won't be having much fun just sitting there. If I don't have enough fun overall to justify my effort to be there (driving to the game, buying snacks, etc.) then I might find greener pastures. I don't need constant attention or to be in the spotlight all the time, but I want to have an enjoyable experience when I game. [/QUOTE]
