An Embarassment of Games.

For years I have been begging friends and strangers to game more.

Now, I am faced with too many games! Quite the dilemma!

As you are aware, I have been in a long running Star Wars campaign. You are also aware from previous posts that I started up a D&D game. And, from my most recent post on dice shopping, you are aware that a friend invited me to play in a World of Darkness campaign.

I wouldn't say my D&D game is dead. I still want to run it, or maybe start again with a different idea, since I'm not too impressed with my use of Undead in that game. However, one of the players in that game is also in the new World of Darkness game and both games have been primarily concentrated on her residence as the place to play - so I foresee conflicts. I want to revive this game and march on somehow, I just haven't figured that out yet.

The WoD game has been interesting. The GM had set a large task before himself. He has a large group, and those can be unwieldy. He is also combining Vampire, Werewolf and Mage into one large World of Darkness scenario. At the very least this is ... well, unwieldy! It's ambitious, but he is pulling it off so far. The group has had three sessions and I have only been able to attend one. However, the group does a lot of in-character-email and blogging and what not. So, I've been able to miss two thirds of the games and still feel like I'm part of the deal.

I missed playing in the WoD game this week because I got to play with my Star Wars group. Our Star Wars game had not gotten together for three months! Both the WoD and SW groups wanted to play at the same time on Sunday. I don't like playing on Sundays. But, both groups are filled with busy adults and Sunday is becoming popular. I would certainly rather play than not play, Sunday or not. Hopefully they won't overlap too much as we go along.

I can't think of a time since I moved to Seattle, maybe ever, when I had too many gaming opportunities. Especially not where I'm playing more than GMing. It's a new world!
