This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Well I was raised Roman Catholic myself, and went to Catholic school — with Sisters! (nuns allowed to mingle outside with the laity) — for well over ten years. I'd be lying to my latent martyr/messianic complex if there isn't a little guilt inside. And lying is a sin of course... ;)

Besides, a little suffering is good for the soul. And I'm an American, so more is better! :p

(I'm curently suspending several games I am running for months, some even years, due to personal family and health upheavals. This whole year has essentially been out of my hands especially. Naturally I tighten my celice at the thought.)

You know, people keep comparing non-TSR D&D to deck-building in Magic: the Gathering. But maybe it\'s more like Katamari Damacy. You keep sticking shit on your characters until they are big enough to be a star.

Quote from: jeff37923;845473I know, its dumb. Do any of you other people feel twinges of guilt in similar circumstances where you have to miss a game? Either as a Player or a GM?

This is my answer as well.
My name is Ramón Nogueras. Running now Vampire: the Masquerade (Giovanni Chronicles IV for just 3 players), and itching to resume my Call of Cthulhu campaign (The Sense of the Sleight-of-Hand Man).

Really don't have that problem. All my players are very motivated to get that weekly game through, made it a fixture. Them fellas need their XP.
So if for some reason I can't make it, which seldomly happens anyway, I have no bad feeling, because they either try to re-schedule or are even more motivated the following week.
