You'd think the characters would have died of old age by then, given how fast RPG time flows. ^.^;;

Nah. They only play every few months. :)

Odd, I find it tends to go the other way. I would expect the characters have only seen about 2 years pass for them.

Ditto, though depending how they're playing, there's often a lot of compressed time between levels for D&D games. In my own game, which plays about as often as they do, 2 years have passed in game, and 7 years in the real world.

It works for me! And for the other folks commenting. Your Internet must be broken.

Hey, you got the emails about Call of Cthulhu at my house, Tomorrow Night, 7 PM, right?

Awwww... that's sweet.

I still have my handpainted figures from my early 80s D&D games. Mostly females, since they were in short supply in all the guys' kits.

That was a very touching article.

It sounds really golden; growing old, having kids, running games, having that be your future. They seem like great guys and, as much as I wish I had a future like the one they got, I'm glad they get to have something like that.
