[QUOTE="witzend, post: 375086, member: 99"] Thanks, guys. After I wrote this last night I realized that M [I]was[/I] probably asking husband to help him do it. That's an even worse idea. Not sure how much you guys know about role playing games. Once you have the group together, it entails meeting for hours on end to decide things like "What's your name?" Roll the dice, look at the map, compare notes, debate and remember why some obscure thing from your mother's church group prevents you from using that name, get everyone's opinion on the name and how it works with their name. Multiply that by the number of people in the game. Then roll the dice and decide what color your hair is. Literally, this can go on for hours and they never get around to playing. Then, while your friends are gone, you can read books and paint game pieces and go on practice runs with your characters and see what will happen if you roll a 9 instead of a 12, or a 6 instead of a 3. In play each roll of the dice requires a specific story that everyone must agree upon fits in with things that you don't know about them or their characters, and a great deal of trust that the people you are playing with are telling the truth about what they themselves have worked out at home which may prevent you from doing what it is that you worked out at home - not something M's capable of.
