How to know when you're wanted.

A lovely moment today - Tony, player of Cheleth the Half-Elven Sorceror, commented on how much he enjoyed our Saturday Night games, and that the world was so much more fun than the games he played in his younger days. Such comments help make a DM even more eager to please her players - and occasionally kill their characters.

Our local minatures/gaming supples shop, Tin Soldier, Penrith, offered to help out a week or so ago when I was first looking for a fifth person in the game. As it turned out, a friend of Marlène was wanting to come join in, so the vacancy was filled.

I've had three offers now from people who have heard through the shop that there's a game afoot.

It looks like the local area is inhabited by 1001 players in need of a DM. I suggested to the shop that once I know my Uni timetable, I might be able to set up a once-a-week afternoon game there. The offer was immediately accepted, with promises of some compensation for time spent. Mmmmm - more figures. More paints. Evil... And this may solve the problem I have with one of the kids in the other game who has started school down the mountain and can't get back here in time to join the usual mob. He's old enough to be able to join in a slightly-older game, and if he were coming back with me, I think his mother would be OK about it.

So I'm going to have to be very very careful not to over-commit myself. And this could be a lot of fun.

On a completely different note, some time ago I emailed a ... person .. and the mail bounced back after two weeks. I didn't have another address for him, and wondered whether he had closed the address on purpose or something else had happened.

This evening I received mail from him to apologise for the delay, as the email provider he'd been using had dissolved and not passed on last messages as promised. S'cool - I can cope - and he was so nice about it. He's turning 19 in a month and I want to hear all about his last year at Uni and how life's going and tell him all about the wedding ... he is a very special man and is going to do great things in this world. I may only be his bioological mother, but I'm still very very proud of him.

If he's anything like you, he must be special indeed.

Hear, here (said he, hedging his bets on spelling :) )
