Yeah, I've been playing weekly for a little over two years. My group just picked up the Stargate tabletopper, although communal World of Warcraft sessions facilitated by every guest bringing their laptops over have been eating into our tabletop time. Our games around this time of year usually hit the rocks anyway. A few of us celebrate Christmas, and all attend our new year's party.
A group of mature roleplayers is a precious thing and somewhat tough to come by. Most of us roleplay our characters to the best of our abilities without any mind to statistical favor or player cohesion, and it's a hell of a lot of fun to bounce them off each other. We have our MMO's for 'run out and kill stuff for xp and loot' gratification.
Edit: Yep, I'm talking about the sit around in an enclosure of couches and chairs and talking at each other. Some of our players like to do their best at what we call 'acting' in any other context, others just dictate what their character says or does in response to everyone else. Some are improv actors, others are on-the-fly authors with extremely limited control of their fictional universes. It's a fun challenge either way, I do some of both.
