Er... noise. *smile* When at full strength, my campaign consists of one GM, 12 players, 1 extra wife (a gamer but not playing in my campaign currently), 4 children between 1 and 2 years old, and 3 cats. Yow! The kids are the problem though... as adorable as they are, they get noisy. And since one of them is mine... and we can't have one of the players without the other three coming along, we have all these kids. We're considering offsite babysitters sometimes. Might make it fun for the adults toget a day off. And no, grandparents aren't an option... we don't live near enough. *smile* As for how to work around it... we just do. We let the kids toddle around and play their games and I go on around it. Dani sits on my lap or whatever, and we just move through. Gotta do it. Some of the game is played in other rooms to help too, but then Dani comes running in because Mommy is elsewhere and she wants Mommy, not Daddy (and not the other kids *grins*). >Or what evil ideas have you come up with to torment your players? > Can't say, they're on this list. Or some of them are. *grins* >Or even what mischief Deb Allen has planned for her group now. ;) > What, invoking me by name? *grins* Lessee... I'm currerntly running three PBEMs and 1 FtF game (three Amber, one otherwise). What sorts of mischief do you want to hear about? I'm also working on putting the world of Elendar and the game system of Reflections into some kind of coherence (with help from Josh on the system work and help from some players on the pieces of the world). Details on my web site. Unfortunately, the PBEM is overfull, so I cannot accept any new players.
