It’s easy to give birth to monster guilds/raids.. it all depends on whether you can parent them to success…

Ahh yes.. the phases…

I highly recommend the shots, as long as you don’t have to do anything early the next day (or raid late into the night)…

maybe a little sedative or two might be a better option… anti depressant even…

yeah… there always seems to be some sort of handicap.. learning impaired, movement impaired, clock impaired, hearing impaired, thought impaired…

Well, that’s kind of harsh – I do enjoy it . . . mostly. I think I’m in working with raiders and guildies that would qualify to be in the terrible two’s. I just need to push through it knowing that it’s just a phase.

It’s just a phase. . . really.

/drinks another shot

Maybe that’s the same thing as being a parent :)

Except sometimes its the GM who needs grounding. How do you punish Grandpa-GM in front of the kids?

Great post man.
