[QUOTE="Olaf the Stout, post: 5188874, member: 13703"] My Shackled City AP campaign is currently on a 6 month hiatus due to my wife and I having our second child. Before the break it had been running for just under 2 years. My wife doesn't actually play but I agreed to take a break from gaming while we settled in to dealing with 2 little ones in the house (I'm the DM so for me the game is more work than just showing up to play 1 night a fortnight). After the birth of my first child I put the campaign (a different one to the current one) on a 2 1/2 month break and we picked it up again without any trouble. This time around I don't expect there to be any difficulty in picking the campaign up again, despite the gap being a lot longer. About the only thing that will be an issue is that the campaign stopped mid-combat with a dragon! Obviously I didn't intend on stopping the campaign like that! The dragon fight took a bit longer than expected and it was getting a little late (we play on a weeknight) so we decided to end the session mid-combat and finish the combat the following fortnight. The next session was meant to be the final session before the baby was due and a dragon fight seemed like a good point to put the campaign on hiatus. Unfortunately my wife had to be induced a few weeks early so the next session never happened. When we start the game again we have agreed to restart from the start of the dragon encounter since trying to start mid-combat will be just too difficult, even though the battlemat still has our positions marked on it. Before the "restart session" I plan to do a recap of the whole campaign to date, just to refresh everyone's memory of what has happened. I have taken advantage of the break in the campaign to run some one-shots. We played a couple of sessions of XCrawl which everyone really enjoyed and have expressed an interest in playing again. Next session I'm running a Feng Shui one-shot and I'll probably run a Paranoia and/or Call of Cthulhu one-shot before we restart the D&D campaign. Being only able to game once a fortnight I haven't really had the opportunity to give any other games a go. However this gap in the campaign has allowed me to try the other systems out on my group. If we got straight back into the Shackled City campaign I probably wouldn't have got to give these other systems a go for another year or two at least. Olaf the Stout [/QUOTE]
