[QUOTE="spinozajack, post: 6639061, member: 6794198"] It's much harder to find a new DM than it is to find more players. Ditch the guy, if his friends drop your game out of spite or loyalty then just get more players. Talk about it with a few players who would probably keep playing with you regardless, and ask them if they would start a new campaign with you or just reboot this one. So end the game, be selective about your players, and invite only those you enjoy gaming with and being around. D&D players come and go, and annoying jerks you are better off without. You have to be willing to walk out of this kind of immature or even abusive relationship. If the only reason you're gaming with this person is because of fear of losing other friends and not gaming, that is not a good reason. I agree with others who say no gaming is better than bad gaming. After a blow up from a player who didn't like our DM's style last summer ended up derailing the campaign, within two months I had another group going with all brand new players I found online, and I found the gaming was actually more fun than with older friends. Sometimes you need to mix things up. You'll be surprised, the oldest relationships are not always the best or strongest or most fulfilling or even true friendships. Momentum is not a good reason to spend time with people who argue with you or make your life hell. If you're willing to walk and you're not bluffing, you regain the power in these situations. Sometimes it's better to be alone than compromise who you are or what you need out of a relationship, and that goes for all kinds, spouses, girlfriends, friends, D&D groupies.
