I definitely consider my primary gaming group family. But I wouldn’t be opposed to playing with, or running for, another group on the side or the occasional one-shots at conventions or what-not. But my tolerance level will be different there…

As a 45 year old I don’t have anywhere near the time to game I wish I had. When I get a regular group I treat it like family. You don’t get to choose them, you have a special bond that only goes so far, and you have to learn to make the best of it.

When you speak of passions, I think of my volunteer efforts. Your volunteer group may be comprised of very different people, but you share a passion that motivates you to strive toward a common goal. When things get intense, we count to 10 and say “Think of the animals”. (I volunteer at an animal shelter charity)
