When your regular DM can't (or doesn't want) to DM for a while, how do you prefer to rotate DM duties?

What's your groups preferred way to handle temporarily passing the DM torch?

We have lots of different games going on, in different systems and by different DMs. So if a DM isn't available/doesn't want to run for a while that game simply goes on hiatus and other games carry on as normal.

We tend to play alternate games. Heck, sometimes D&D isn't even the main campaign, though it usually is. I currently but my 5E campaign on hiatus, and one of my players is running a Star Wars SAGA game. I intend to run some Shadowrun for a while when I'm ready, so who knows when we'll actually get back to my D&D campaign. But that's okay.

We continue the existing campaign, but with a different DM

We have one or more alternate campaigns, with their own DM's

We use existing characters but don't worry about keeping continuity with other adventures

We run one-shots with entirely new characters

We run one-shots in entirely different game systems

When our regular DM doesn't run things, we do something else
