As I've said..my gaming group isn't the greatest, longest we have ever
played for is about 4 hours. I spend most of my time on the floor anyways,
when I'm not at the computer. Much more comfy that a dumb old bed or couch :)

Lets see.. Pile of books on the left, pile of notes on the right, players
scattered around being dorks, yeah, that about sums it all up. I suppose
its partly my fault, I don't GM them nearly often enough to drive some good
habits into them.. Well, maybe this year I can get around to the twice
monthly games.. :)

When I was at college, I ran a large Star Wars cam[pign, and we played a
LOT of marathon game sessions...

anyways, our Dorm Lobby, which was essentially just another dorm room
without teh beds and a door going outside (and the pop machine), was about
20 or 25 feet square, with no furnashings. We used to throw a pile of
matresses on the floor from our beds, and sprawl out on those. I would sit
in a corner, leaning against the wall, surrounded by books, pop cans, and
pizza, with five or six (or 8 or 10) guys sprawled on the floor playing
Star Wars for 6-8 hours at a time... And we did this four or five imes a
week...

I miss those days...:):):)
