[QUOTE="Edgewood, post: 4711402, member: 20132"] I thought I would start this thread for all of us who love to role play, and have done so vehemently in days gone by, but now find themselves in a place or situation in their life where its just not feasible. For me, my situation is thus: My work had transferred me to another province and invariably took me away from my gaming group who are now two time zones away. As a result I live in a small town where there is no gaming community, no game store and no real outlet to ply my DMing trade. I have tried numerous times to set up a game via webcam with my old group but scheduling was a nightmare. I have also tried to go the webcam route with others closer to my current home but again, scheduling was a major hassle. So, here I sit, with an entire campaign world of my own creation not being used. I have plot lines not being forwarded and I'm stagnating in a state of Arrested RPG Development. Long do I yearn for the days when I could get together with my friends and slay dragons. I really miss role playing...:.-( So, if you're in the same situation as me, share your story. We, the forgotten gamers... (The above was really just added drama for sympathetic effect) [/QUOTE]
