As much as I'd like to help them out, I just don't have the time anymore... and next year we're switching to a new schedule type that will effectively double my number of students, so even if I was able to swing it this year, it would be completely impossible to do it next year... <br /><br />I have my own gaming group that I am fortunate enough to be able to play with weekly. I think I'd have lost my sanity long ago if it weren't for them.DMWieghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03682249561077936507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-549940298295825812.post-9547442396389396322011-09-10T08:34:01.433-06:002011-09-10T08:34:01.433-06:00Yeah ADD Grognard, I feel the same way. I already ...Yeah ADD Grognard, I feel the same way. I already know very few of the kids are going to get their parents to take them to the FLGS to game. Which is disheartening. I've considered a once a week game where every group gets to game once every three weeks. But right now I'm nervous about the whole time thing. Work is just way too busy. So right now I'm sticking to my guns on the time thing and focusing on priorities. Still, it breaks my heart.Sizzaxehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13715649618278080709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-549940298295825812.post-10826174741629704322011-09-09T13:12:34.490-06:002011-09-09T13:12:34.490-06:00I just wonder how many parents (and kids) are goin...I just wonder how many parents (and kids) are going to be put off by it not taking place at school.<br /><br />And I can understand the time compression factor. I have worked on a major ulcer these last few months dealing with to much load and to little time.<br /><br />I just hope you get a chance to get some table time in and the kids who really want to play get the chance.<br /><br />Now if I can just finish DEEP DELVE. Almost there.xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17814063435676111475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-549940298295825812.post-81877750192813899972011-09-09T08:41:18.812-06:002011-09-09T08:41:18.812-06:00Hey thanks Dylan and Drance.

That's not so bad! You can get a much-deserved rest. I commend you on your dedication to getting kids into roleplaying. It can have so many benefits to their social development and creativity. I myself have been thinking of starting up a gaming group for kids at a local library. I just have such limited time, however, and that limited free time is taken up with my game I am running at my FLGS. But, one can dream! Thanks for being a POSITIVE force in the OSR, unlike some people I can name. You are definitely not a Stick in the Mud ;-)Anthony Simeonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04312134763577949405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-549940298295825812.post-50832867629789669852011-09-08T21:34:29.241-06:002011-09-08T21:34:29.241-06:00Sorry to hear about your situation.
