I'm not worried about satan (satin?), I'm worried about guys who become so obsessed over something they forgo sleep and food. Like WoW, which is just the video game version of D&D.
Also, I wondered about doing D20 type games on gaia. We do have the dice for it.

*Lee rolls a 14 on his d20 which exceeds Garek's 10 AC. Lee whips out a broadsword and slashes garek. But he only does 5 HP of damage, which is but a flesh wound.*

I tried to play DnD with my friend over MSN a while ago.
It got about as far as reading one page of the handbook.

welp, it sounds like they want to start another game at an obscene time at night. Wonderful. This may be my last time gaming with them if I even go.
My biggest question is if this is NORMAL for D&D, if All D&D games start late and go all night or go for 24-48 hours? I mean seriously, get a ******** life. It's not awesome when you do that s**t with WoW, it shouldn't be awesome if it's any other nerd game. This is why you die a virgin, because you spend more time gaming than actually having a life. (mind you this is for those insane gamers that never sleep and eat junk food all the time, not anyone who casually games maybe a few hours a week and eats healthy).

Well, D&D games that last all day are usually the norm for a decent group. Hell, back when I was in Tech school, my friends and I would start gathering in the Lev building, play Magic or something until everyone got there around 11 AM, send someone on a munchie and soda run, then start playing D&D until the Lev closed at 10 PM. Of course, we did that only on the weekends X3 Oh, and down Fridays. But then, I also had a pretty good group, so it was plenty fun.

Yea but that's all day, not all night.
Last night we played until almost 6am. I slept 5 hours. It's not the lack of sleep, it's the fact it ******** up my biological clock.
It wouldn't have been so bad had we not done what we did. Around 11 we started making character sheets for a new ocean-based game we were doing. And then we got to 1:30am, was pretty much done with the sheets (2 hours later!!!!), and they decided "well, two of our guys are missing, maybe we should wait until next week so we can play with them." PERHAPS THIS WAS SOMETHING WE SHOULD HAVE DECIDED BEFORE WE SPENT 2 HOURS MAKING CHARACTERS. blarg!
So we spent another hour making quick simple level 1 characters (should have just used a character making program, takes 2 minutes per character!), and a guy who had never DMed before started a game at 2am and we gamed until 6am and leveled up once.
See, if we'd just stick with one game, instead of everyone in the group going "Well I had this idea for a game..." and we switch games every week, we wouldn't have to make new characters every week. We'd just be able to jump back into the game and spend MORE time fighting and LESS time pouring through books and making characters! DUH!!!
Since I do not know any other D&D group I am sticking with them for now, but I have two choices, game with them or don't game with them. I reserve the right to say "no thanks" at any time. And since they stick me with the healing and rogue classes they'll be SOL when they need support. razz

I just mailed out the check for a doctor's bill that was $1.30 after insurance. Seriously guys, leave me with at least ten dollars so it doesn't feel like you're just ******** around with me.

Lee, maybe you could suggest a "house rule" that you have to play a scenario for at least 1-full gaming session regardless of suckery. At least then you might be able to encourage them to gain interest in the development of the story and characters they create. (To be honest, I've done something very similar to these guys before in something unrelated. I did it on the free time I had, but obviously I got very little done and I kinda look back at that and see it as a big waste of time. /: ) Shakeidas I just mailed out the check for a doctor's bill that was $1.30 after insurance. Seriously guys, leave me with at least ten dollars so it doesn't feel like you're just ******** around with me. It probably costs more to process that check than the bill itself. They should just wave the fee at that point. razz

Hmm...That is a good point, Lee.
To be honest, I'd say ditch that group and try to find another. Your local game shop is usually a pretty good place to look around. I remember going to one here in Tucson, and a week later I had my first session with a pretty decent group.
Sounds like to me that either they can't make up their minds on what they want to do, or they have a really short attention span. And that, naturally, doesn't work well for D&D. A good campaign might last months, if not years (Yes, it's happened. Not to me, but some of the local furs her have been playing one for about three years now, and it's still going.) Those one shot deals would be more suited to pick up games.
And as to them making you always be the cleric or rogue, if you want to play something different, I'd say tell them to ******** off and do what you want. Let them find out what it's like to run a session without a healer X3 They shouldn't force you to play a class that you don't want too.
And to be honest with you, it's generally a good idea to have one session purely for rolling up characters, since it does take so long (even longer if you only have one or two sets of books X3). Seems like to me that these folks really don't know what they're doing, but that's just what I think.

Funny how there's a discussion on D&D. I just downloaded the character builder from the D&D site. Full version thanks to my friend.

Davin_Nightwind And as to them making you always be the cleric or rogue, if you want to play something different, I'd say tell them to ******** off and do what you want. Let them find out what it's like to run a session without a healer X3 Did that once. In our level 1 monster-character-only session. Said "I've been a healer before, I don't feel like doing it again." Suffice to say, the one character that had ANY healing items/spells got KOed during our second battle and it was all "RUN AWAY, RUN AWAY AND HIDE." Fail was had.

URGGGHH MY ******** WASHING MACHINE. scream
If it's not draining on my floor it's just not draining AT ALL.
So I tried to ring out my clothes and put them in the dryer, but that wasn't good enough and now my dryer is full of ******** water. scream
My hands are freezing, and now I have a huge mess to deal with.

That sounds like fun though! All you need to do is hide, wait for the baddie to leave, then drag the corpse of your friend off to sell his body to necromancers in need get him resurrected.

I don't suppose you can hook a hose up to your washer and have it drain the water out to a yard or something? May family does that, though I don't think we use ...er...enviro-safe stuff... Dunno what that's doing to the soil, but the plants still grow!

We'd just be able to jump back into the game and spend MORE time fighting and LESS time pouring through books and making characters! DUH!!!P
Yeah, having a continuing campaign does wonders. It's nice to play a campaign, and then come back and play the same characters again for a while without having to make new sheets every session.
Then again there's the other extreme, I've once played the same character on a campaign with the same DM every 2 weeks in 6~12 hour periods for a whole year. And since the guy finished working at 10pm, we'd always get all gathered up and start at 11pm. sweatdrop
Davin_Nightwind (Yes, it's happened. Not to me, but some of the local furs her have been playing one for about three years now, and it's still going.)
Yeah, same here. My friend Vince has been running his campaign for about that long in 3.5th edition rules, and every now and then we take breaks from it and another person DMs a short 3~4 session arc. We've got a session coming up tomorrow actually, gonna be our first in over two months, what with everyone moving to new apartments.
In my case, I used to DM on a different day of the week (and with a smaller group, 4ish people tops whereas Vince has 7 players) for my 4th Ed campaign in a Steampunk setting.

It is! You end up having to make due without, prepare in advance with healing wands and/or other items, and alternatively simply plan out battle strategies in which you can minimize the amount of damage taken by the party.
Our longest-running campaign and party has actually had no dedicated healer for a very long time (7 months, to be precise) outside of a Fighter/Cleric of Kord multiclassed character who came in way late. She was our only source of heals other than a rogue or wizard using items, and yet was actually our tank. Go figure.
Psycho Lee My biggest question is if this is NORMAL for D&D, if All D&D games start late and go all night or go for 24-48 hours?
I doubt it's "normal", but as far as our group is concerned, even when the late-workers aren't necessarily part of a session's roster, we tend to play during the night anyways because then we don't get people knocking at our door or phoning us in the middle of the session and interrupting the flow. And since it's night out, we can use the dimmer light in the dining room for ambience when in dungeons. I mean, besides the custom mood playlists I made and put on my roomie's laptop for the occasions. xp
The only downside is that 2:30am is the limit for calling for pizza until 8 am when the early pizza places around the city open again.
