Well the game day thing isn't going to work out. The guys back home were either scheduled to work or otherwise couldn't quite make the drive. My attempts to make it up there instead have been equally quashed.
I must say I miss having a regular game group immensely. Seems odd that in a huge city like KC that I can't find a good group. No one bothered to tell me in High School that I'd only end up with 5-6 hours a week for any free time activities! LOL
Kansas (and probably the whole mid-west) is just a little to repressed to have scads of RPG fans. There's plenty around, but I think I must require a pretty narrow sub-set of game buddies. Or maybe I just keep comparing all new game groups to my old one (which is of course the best). But mostly I think I just don't have the time. One weekend a month is about the best I can hope for and I never know exactly what weekend that's going to be. Ah well, seems like a silly thing to be disappointed about.
There's a million more things I should be making time for--like better exercise, fixing the house, general house work, better financial planning, better organization, more time with wife, more time with kids, probably even more time on just keeping up at work. All way more important than a few more hours of dinking around.
I've been fighting this tide for about 5 years now--just less and less time for gaming. Maybe it's time to hang up the dice bag for a while. I bet if I knocked out some of these other things, that free time might magically re-appear. Dunno for sure... I guess I'll just have to wait and see.
