[QUOTE="Daniel Knight, post: 8443, member: 1113"] Yeah, I remember going through this. Yes, you did make a mistake in not letting them play the characters that you had all ready approved. I understand your motives behind it, it’s just you can’t really justify it if they haven’t caused problems yet. I know I’d be pretty upset hearing news that I couldn’t play the character. This however doesn’t mean that your friends have reacted in the correct way either. It’s just the time you guys are going through. I remember that it ended up being more “adult” pursuits such as getting drunk and bedded that eventually tore apart my old gaming group. Real life became more interesting then fantasy. There really isn’t anything you can do about it. Their splinter gaming group will end up caving in as well, and chances are you’ll all forget about role playing for the next three to five years. The best thing you can do, is find a gaming group of older players who have all ready gone through this. If you’ll soon be going to university this will be very easy for you to do. Otherwise I guess just put up a notice at your local gaming store. Having written all this, take it with a grain of salt. This is just advice I can give based on my own experiences, and could be utterly wrong for you. Who knows, maybe it’ll all blow over in a couple of weeks and you’ll all end up being the best of friends again gaming into the wee hours of the morn. God typing this message has made me feel old.
