Message: <blockquote data-quote="JediSoth" data-source="post: 5547633" data-attributes="member: 13882">I'm currently experiencing a dry spell. It started in early 2009, after the death of my first wife in Nov. 2008. One of my players left immediately and the game kind of fizzled after that (I think it lasted 2-3 more sessions). I met someone else, moved (a whopping 3 miles) and found myself without a dedicated game room. The amount of work required to prepare the basement to have a game room was overwhelming, so very little got done towards that goal in the last year-and-a-half.We experienced some minor flooding in the basement just before Easter due to a sump pump failure and now the basement is finally all cleaned up. I just have to put some waterproofing paint on the walls and figure out exactly how I want the gaming area set-up before I can get up and running again.Since my first wife's death and the fizzle of that D&D 4E campaign, I've only gamed at Gary Con and Gen Con (and two Pathfinder Society sessions). Until the basement flooded, I was starting to think that I might have to satisfy my desire for fantasy roleplaying-ish entertainment with World of Warcraft. Now it looks like I might actually be able to put a gaming group back together again.I had another dry spell as I was finishing up High School. When I moved to VA in 1990, I left everyone I knew who gamed back in Germany. I gamed sporadically (mostly Star Wars D6) with someone I knew in Germany who also moved to the same area in Virginia (unbeknownst to either of us; we happened to encounter each other by chance at the Burger King on Ft. Lee), but didn't really find another group to game with until 1994 ... a little more than a year before I would move yet again (until I was 21, we relocated every five years due to various factors). That time, however, I never considered thinking my gaming was over for an extended time; I was always trying to find a group. It was harder in the days before Internet when you didn't have an FLGS nearby.</blockquote>
