[QUOTE="casterblaster, post: 6553275, member: 6776107"] I too have similar problems but we are all to blame in my case. We started the starter set adventure when it came out and have yet to finish it. We would play every Monday for about two hours due to work and such. Sometimes players would get sick or just not feel like playing or life would get in the way. We had fun with it though. Mostly I only had to regular players while I dm and played a cleric that was started by a third player that dropped out. I find it best not to be stubborn when games have to be canceled, I feel like it turns it into "work" and not an enjoyable game. As of now we haven't played since January. I have had to cancel because well family comes first. We are also in our 30's and its more of a distraction than a serious hobby. I know it gets frustrating cause I can relate to lugging books to work and getting excited to play then it all falls apart. I just say "next Monday?" if we play great if not then theres next Monday. Just with past experience trying to force time and place and having the we will play with or with out attitude tended to drive players off so I have learn to relax that attitude. Oh and playing with just one player isn't really my cup of tea, its not as engaging or fun for me or the player but that could just be me and my dm skills at fault. I couldn't never take play-by-post serious either. Guess im just too old school and prefer the face to face, pen and paper. Good luck though I feel your pain. [/QUOTE]
