Default Re: Home Game Guilt

Start drinking and playing the maniac role. In my home game, which we play every week, I went for 6-7 months without ever having a losing session. The others were that bad. I started feeling bad about it AND some of the players stopped coming. So, I started loosening up almost to the point of recklessness, gambling more and drinking. Basically, I decided to separate the game from my normal game and treat it as a fun social event. I started to see much more variance in my results. I still come out a winner 3/4 times, but I have a few huge losses here and there, which I don't mind (they are offset by some huge wins and the stakes aren't all that high). The game has become more popular and fun for the other players now because I am creating so much action, and everyone wants to get in there and gamble to take their shots at me.

Just be careful not to let your maniac play leak into your regular game.
