Josh and Shea... MAY not have that problem. But you are very charismatic. :) Keep in mind that for me 2 was also difficult because I was MADDLY in love with you.

As for being less willing - that would require a reduction in my desire to play, but like any true addict I need my fix too much not to succumb to temptation.

Honestly, I’m willing to bet that almost any “Established DM” (especially this one) couldn’t care less whether you were the Worst Dungeon Master Ever, so long as he/she gets a chance to play for a change. My recollections of that campaign are almost uniformly positive - though I think it might have been better had Josh and I tied our characters more closely together.

Romero directed and is famous for the Day, and Dawn of the Dead. As well as the Terrentino/Romero Roadhouse project. Which I enjoyed very much actually. Thank you! Dawn of the Dead is the film you are thinking about. Day of the Dead is also a Romero film, it places the hero's after the fall of modern sociaty, much like 28 weeks later but created MANY years before hand circa 1970 something. For me I think it was a combination of both 2 and 4... But Mostly 2 because you and Teased me so bad with that Plot hook thing. DMing can be an intimidating thing... especially when you are DMing for the person who already has the "Established DM" hat. I stopped running it because after waiting Months with the idea festering; by the time I actually got to run it I couldn't sustain my own intrest... much less anyone elses. It's just bad timing. But as far as your Gaming ability goes, I don't remeber you being a bad player... actually wasn't it you and Josh's interactions that were the most fun? George A.
