Grave Shift at Taco Bell. Me and my manager would get off work at 6am Saturday mornings, go over to my buddies house and wake him up by 7:30am. (The looks you get when buying beer at 7:00am in Utah will forever bring a smile to my face.)
We’d get about 8 hours of actual gaming in, the buddy we woke up would drive us home to let us finish off our beer and crash out. I always seem to have trouble remembering the first 2-3 hours of my Saturday Night grave shift. My first class Monday mornings always seemed a little hazy as well as we usually did this both Saturday and Sunday.
Back in junior college, i was in one game that lasted 27 hours. It was the culmination dozens of old style dungeon crawls into the same dungeon over several years. This was before campaigns so it didn’t matter that there was no continuity. Not all the characters had been there before, nor had they all met before. What was important was that collectively we players believed we knew enough to finally clear out the place all the way down to the nearly god level wizard who ran the place, and then slaughter him. Which we did. We took over 200% casualties along the way, fortunately we had two high level clerics each with a wand of resurrection.
Then i went ot a university and the only thing i could do for 27 hours were projects.
And now, it’s hard enough to find a 4 hour time slot that everyone can handle. in fact only 1 session in 4 has a full complement.
The first serious gaming group I was ever in was one of those. We gamed several times a week, from right after the working members got home till the wee hours of the next day before they had to clean up and get ready to go back to work. Then on the weekends we gamed from Friday evening all the way through to Sunday evening so they could get a little sleep before going back to work on Monday. Then we would start the whole process again… I miss those days.
But I just can’t keep up that kind of pace anymore.
i know a group like those guys 0.0
Did that when I was a student.
Only we did not have jobs.
We just gamed all afternoon, evening, night and morning.
I was in a group like that… may be “THE” grup O’s talking about.
Wen I was in college I used to do lan parties with my buddies… normally 48 hours practically strait.
Hum… wait… college?
I did one of those 2 months ago… and I´m 33…
Giant O!

Haha! I was totally one of those guys! Of course, it was a lot easier before everyone went and got lives.
Verke, Of course that’s us! Lots of playing we got done, though.
Remember how we tried again later but the others had replaced Role-playing for Poker?
