Bah, it was 20 or 30 minutes, and it wasn't every week. Most of the time I'd show up early and we wouldn't actually start until 7 pm anyways.The Shaman said:Let me make sure that I understand what you're saying: you were consistently rude to the other gamers by making them wait around for you or forcing the GM to work you in after you finally grace them with your presence, then you get annoyed when the other characters outlevel you by taking advantage of the bonus the GM offers for showing up on time?
The DM worked at a gaming store that closed at 7 pm. We played at the gaming store after her shift. She'd tell us to show up at 6:30 pm so that we could start promptly at 7. I would show up at 6:30, have my stuff on the table by 6:40 at the latest and wait for her to finish up closing the store for 20 minutes. I also had to pick up another one of the people coming to the game and grab food on the way there, without leaving especially early, the time to do that could vary from week to week.
I'm the only one who actually SHOWED up every week. We were friends and we could cut each other a little slack in start times. Although, since I'm late to everything I do no matter what it is, people are used to it by now.
