Just recently I had a request from my Champions GM to send him an updated copy of my character. I hadn't made any changes to her since the last time I gave him a copy. In addition, he usually wants them done in the Heromaker software application, which I don't know how to use - my fiancee usually does my character for me. Between busy schedules, we just didn't get an opportunity to send the GM a new copy. I emailed him a couple of days before the game and apologized.But the GM's repeated requests for a new copy made me feel rather irritable. Gaming is my main social activity and source of fun. Having to worry about getting my character sheet updated for a game is a bit like having to have homework done before class. I don't really like the idea of having 'homework' for my entertainment.Granted, you do have to make a certain commitment to having a character and a character sheet in order to participate in a roleplaying game, but it's my own fault if I don't keep that character up to date. It shouldn't really hurt anyone but me. OTOH, I do admit that if someone I played with regularly failed to do any prep work for a game, it would probably get on my nerves too, because it does seem to signify a lack of commitment to the game, and I'm pretty committed to my gaming experience (my Champions episode not withstanding).</blockquote>
