After the first attempt at Winter Court you decided that we didn't give it a serious go and we spent our next 5 hr session doing it all over again. tee hee hee Can't wait for the next time we cross swords or break bread. And always remember ... We've had more good times playing than bad, some of the bad ones are just more fun to talk about.

As Shekaka and I were just talking about the other day there has to be some kind of compromise between DM and players otherwise... the players aren't into it and nobody has fun or the DM isn't into it and nobody has fun. See the pattern? We've been lucky enough that most of us have been friends forever and even though we are pretty harsh with each other, "hard truths" don't ruin the group make up. While we'll try about anything, we're not shy about saying "Dude, this blows, lets try something else." As a player I've come to really like the schedule nazi way of doing things. When we were kids it was easy to find time to play and could run over on a dime. In my adult life I like to know that every other friday at 6pm is scheduled for gaming so I don't plan stuff on those days ever, and I always know when making plans X day is D&D, sorry can't go out / do whatever blah blah.
