[QUOTE="Henry, post: 350993, member: 158"] Tolen, certainly no one (myself in particular) is taking you to task - every person is responsible for the actions in their own best interest, and no one faults you that. When I told "don't let one person dictate your actions," I meant not to let the actions of one person dictate your own. [i]"Oh, well, he's the only DM in the group - he left, what do we do now?"[/i] I have seen this in gaming groups in the past, when a small amount of initiative could have kept everyone playing. If scheduling is such a problem, there may not be a strong solution, short of finding new players. Good luck to both of you in your future endeavors, and I hope that you may get your schedules worked out to satisfaction. P.S. - With respect to the layoffs, what bugs me is the sheer VENOM directed lately at WotC over this. Stark bewilderment I can see - but such VENOM? Calling for product boycotts? Name-calling? It's just so childish in tone it surprises me. Perhaps with the recent major corporate scandals, some people are just itching for an excuse to react in compensation for something they could not have control over in other venues. To any fellow gamers reading this who speak of boycotts and name-calling I offer two things: 1) Better now than November or December; and 2) civility is required here. WotC did nothing illegal or necessarily immoral here. I am very sympathetic for those who no longer have jobs this week (Especially the Williams'), and it is sad to see such talent get let go, but calling for vituperous action is not going to help anyone - or teach any lessons.
