So normally my gaming group meets once every other week (best for our schedule with kids, work, etc) and by that time everyone's anxious to play. Well, we had to push it off one more week this time, so I sent them this email:
Yeah, I know it's Thursday and there's no D&D.You're probably salivating so bad right now that you have to keep a spit-rag handy to keep the drool from hitting the keyboard. You've thought about maybe getting a single-encounter fix from one of the street-DMs in downtown Milford or Framingham, but you just know they'd pawn off some high-level encounter on you that's really just a repackaged Keep on the Borderlands bugbear brawl. Or maybe you've thought about calming your nerves by disciplining the kids more, but all that comes out after witnessing the latest slug-fest between Bobby and Jenny is "Bobby your grapple check failed, go sit in timeout." You've also considered spending more time with your significant other, but last time she complained about having too many dice in the bed. There's a vice-presidential debate on tonight. Just keep blinking your eyes and maybe Sarah Palin will stop looking like a red-state succubus and Joe Biden will stop sounding like a drunk Elminster.
It's really a no-win situation. You find yourself reaching for a d20 every time a political ad comes on TV, hoping you can make a saving throw to keep your sanity.
What can I tell you. It's only one more week, and then we'll have the first full-attendance Pathfinder session. With any luck, all you laggards might even make it to level 2! Dare to dream.
Keep hope alive my friends, hoping that is to see you Thursday October 9th for an orgy of Adventuring Party-on-Goblin action!
