[QUOTE="Wik, post: 5367397, member: 40177"] Just to settle any curiousity on the issue in regards to my group... Two players work Saturday nights. They run a dance instruction company, and Saturday nights are their usual get-togethers. I go about once a month myself. It's usually a lot of fun. In addition, Saturday nights are Hockey Night in Canada nights, until usually around 9 or 10 pm. Three of the six people in our group are hockey fans. Sometimes we'll watch the games at a friends house, other times we're in a pub. Fridays, I'm usually busy. As the GM, that means no game. Sometimes I'm partying it up... sometimes I'm in a pool hall. Lately, I've been watching a lot of Indie bands (so much fun!). Sundays are sometimes an option, but it rarely works out that we game - probably because we already have mondays, and most of us are content with one game a week. I know I'd only join another game if I were the player - I like RPGs, but they aren't really something I want to spend more than, say, six hours a week on. All that being said, we're very dedicated to a monday night game. I don't really know why people that play during the weekend seem to be more dedicated to the game than weeknight players, according to some people here, but I suppose maybe it could stand to reason? I just know that, in my experience, it's much harder to convince six people to show up at the same time every week on a saturday than it is on, say, a tuesday. I imagine as you get a bit older and have kids, families, and the like, this probably changes a bit. Which is why I said for the 20-early 30 crowd, weekends might be the wrong time to schedule a game. [/QUOTE]
