How has the relationship turned out for you? It sounds like you've enjoyed the whole delegate thing. I was considering it at one time, but then life just got way too busy. | |

Personally, I loved it. I worked hard to get the games I loved. And, it looks great on a resume when I try to get a corporate game job in a few years (gotta finish school again)
It got me on the Convention Volunteer list, and I got to meet some great people, and take some great trips. Most importantly, it made me realize I can do this, I can do any of it, even though I'm just a guy. I can definitely do this.

I'm not surprised. A lot of us don't know how good we have it compared to a lot of other people in the rest of the world. Also, one's problems tend to occupy the mind more than one's good fortune. | |

Same here. Before, one could see the transition from 1st to 2nd to 3rd, and all still felt like D&D. 4e just feels so different from the good thing we've had for so long. Still, I'm going to give it a try. | |

Now, that sounds totally stupid. They can't even remember that it was you who showed them how to do it - and not so long ago I might add. | |
