[QUOTE="billd91, post: 9559922, member: 3400"] It starting to sound to me like someone (or ones) in the group didn't think you and they meshed as well as either of you may have hoped when they first started coming over. That happens sometimes and why I always kind of look at adding a new player as being a try-out period. We play a few sessions and see if we've got good enough chemistry to be worth the effort of the drive, blocking out time on Saturday, putting up with the fat cat that always comes to sit on my bag (looking at [B]YOU[/B], Holmes)... It honestly might not be anything more than that. You could always ask if they just didn't feel the group had the chemistry they were looking for, no hard feelings, etc. But as far as the question of single games - there seem to be [B]LOTS[/B] of groups that play just one game together. Or maybe just one main game + 1 supplementary one. My main heyday of having lots of games to choose from [B]AND[/B] having readily willing players was back in college. My (future) wife and I were part of a campus gaming/fandom organization so it was easy to schedule a variety of RPG groups. D&D was most common, but there was also Call of Cthulhu, Paranoia, Warhammer Fantasy, Champions, Cyberpunk, and Shadowrun. Not long after we graduated, Vampire entered the mix.
