To be honest, I tend to ignore rules that require me to juggle lots of variables in a game. I don't mind losing if winning requires me to do a lot of "If I do this but he does that, I won't be able to that other thing unless I do this as well." I generally play thieves and fighters in D&D, where I can just hit things or sneak around instead of trying to manage spells.
I was the despair of the family holiday board games with my lack of competitive spirit--though it was lack of killer instinct in my In-Laws case. Choosing to win a game instead of taking an opportunity to sabotage a fellow player was considered wussy.
edit: I'm not very good at chess, either.
Well, we've managed to drive off one player, let's see who's left. I'm starting the planning for the next game. Ryan's already signed up. Who else would like another go round?
Can't for a couple weeks. Academic year is almost done. Next week is looking to be an 80 hr week. June?
ugh sorry it took me so long to reply. Alas I have to pass this time on

I just don't want to be holding up the game.
I am heavy into organizing our tabletop simulator/skype D&D group, the Deep Harbor Adventuring Company. I'm also finding that I need to spend more time studying the Ravenloft guide in order to provide the best experience for my players.

We are in the process of expanding our group and maybe running games more often than Sunday and the occasional Monday nights (we usually start at 6pm West Coast US time) please send me a FB message (Laga Ratica) if you would like to learn more.
I'm already involved in two D&D games, unfortunately. Adding a third would likely put my marriage at risk.
One of our group is having trouble with just the one.
Laga, I've been looking to get into another TTRPG group! I'd be pretty much starting from scratch, though, I've never done it online before. What Edition would you be using?
Currently we are using 5.0. I believe you would not be the only player starting from scratch.
