Message: <blockquote data-quote="TiQuinn" data-source="post: 9364034" data-attributes="member: 4871">We have a group of 5 players at the moment. Some know each other from work but the rest of us got together from learning about the group on a Discord. We are all friendly but I wouldn’t consider them close friends. We’ve been playing for about five years now, and in that time, a few players have come and gone. Only one player was ever disinvited to the group, and it was done by consensus and after the campaign was over. Drama has been very, very low. Everyone is a working professional just looking for their weekly game. We keep in touch nearly every other day via Discord and everyone checks in prior to the game to give updates on their schedules - whether they’ll make it or not, last minute changes, etc. We’ve had periods where we don’t play often - usually around summer and the holidays. We never try to force it. If it’s easier to cancel for a month, we cancel. If a couple of players are jonesing to play, they’ll do a board game night or try a new system (this is also when others try their hand at GMing.) As far as engagement, some players are just naturally more engaged than others. We don’t assume people aren’t having fun unless they’re very clearly NOT having fun. Again, everyone is an adult and we assume people will speak their mind if there is a problem.</blockquote>
