I live pretty far from work so I'm used to spending 90 minutes (or more if traffic is bad) in a car each day. Thus, I would not be enthused to spend more time than necessary driving to a game. For me, B (15-30 min.) would be okay, but the low end of C (up to 35 min.) would be tolerated for a really good campaign.

A much underrated and time consuming chore. I`ld rather travel :)

One thing to note is that RIers think that if it's more than 15 minutes away, you need to pack a lunch. We're a pretty short sighted lot when it comes to distances people in other states are used to driving. It's difficult to drive for an hour and still be in the state.



LOL! I have a few friends from RI (living on the boarder of it and all) and that "RI mentalllity" really bugs me. I have to drive more than a few minutes for anything so it is no big deal, but it's like pulling teeth to get them to want to.




Yeah, but that's understandable. You know, with CT being so far away and all.

D- I drive for 45-60 minutes every Sunday for the game that I run at a friends house. Also the game that runs on alternate Saturdays my players drive up to an hour to get to my place.

Part of the joy of living in Greater Vancouver BC, large city lousy infrastructure.

20 minutes by bicicle is the farthest, were all friends from the same town.

why? because I can't drive and refuse to walk. And driving a car through Leiden is hell (damned 15th century small oneway-roads)

P.S. Currently I don't have to, because I play at my house (large dedicated gaming room) even though i don't DM this game. But I have mounds of 3D terrain and miniatures and people ask to use our gaming room even for games I'm not involved in.


Fun little game...

While I personally wouldn't travel more than 15 minutes to a game I have 3 players in my Sudnay game that travel nearly 2 hours to play. Yes it does make me think I'm a damned good DM [)]
