Yeah, you're exactly right. I think that's really what the main problem is. How are you supposed to find out who's compatible with you...

Yeah, those reasons all track with me. I feel as if a lot of GMs don't have the luxury of being able to run multiple games. I think...

37%. I would think it is much higher than that. I think there are a few reasons: 1. Players believe they are going to continue, but...

Yeah, I'd have to agree. Real-world responsibilities don't stop because you want to run a session. But, interestingly, you mention that...

Seems to me "life gets in the way" is a good summation of a lot of campaigns that end before they resolve--kids, jobs, other more-adult...
