Ain't this somehow exciting!
The past is a rudder to guide us, not an anchor to hold us back. |

I schedule my groups start at noon, they whole group never arrives on time, so the time before the last player arrives is chit chat time. Periodically people's schedules work out so we play long enough that we also order food. We tend to stop playing while we get the food situation organized and passed around so we chat then too. But by and large we have so little time to game we generally game and leave the chatting to hangouts and the like.

I always tell my players to arrive at 11:15, knowing that at least one of them will not arrive until 12:00. The time until the last person arrives is for chatting, but I make them start at 12:00, even if the tardy person hasn't arrived yet.
The reason for this is that one of my players comes from Nottingham (I live in London and we play at my place) and it's really not fair on him if we're left hanging about as he's come 100 miles, by train, to play a game, not chat on about what's happening in everyone's lives. Plus, in order for him to get home at any reasonable time, we have to knock off at 18:00. -- Lexin GM from Gwynedd, Wales - seriously old school - playing RPGs since 1980!

I live an area of the US with a great mass transit system and I still would never imagine trying to schedule a game with someone traveling 100 miles by train. (For me that would be someone coming from Milwaukee and while there is scheduled service that service is not what I'd call reliable).
I do miss the UK. Except for that crazy TV tax thing. my Realm Works videos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZU...4DwXXkvmBXQ9Yw |
