[QUOTE="Ao the Overkitty, post: 1721973, member: 9758"] Oh yeah. I so know that reaction. I may get one, possibly two interested people, but mostly I just get a desire to get back to their D&D game from them. You sure you're not me? I was becoming increasingly bored at sessions, to the point where I was working out plots for other systems that I'd never run while the game was going. It took me a while and a couple of halted attempts before I took this current break. Whenever I said I needed a break, it seemed the DM would do his best to pull me back to the table. Like, suddenly, my character became very important to the current plot or the adventures sure would have been a lot easier if my character had been there. Course, it didn't help that they played at my apartment (which was the only available space large enough for all of them). I'd be asked "You sure you don't want to play?" about six or seven times each night by the DM. I usually caved after a week or two to make the questions stop. I continually felt like I was letting them down by my not being there But now, they're not playing in my apartment anymore (they're in my apartment complex's clubhouse). It made my taking a break a lot easier, since I don't regularly see them away from the game night anyway, I'm not getting repeatedly asked about why I'm not gaming. I told myself they will do just fine without me. My character's duties can be carried out more easily and more efficiently by other members of the party. [/QUOTE]
