[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 9560343, member: 6796661"] Did you spring it on them at the last minute? Like they came to play D&D and you said "let's play Star Wars today"? I could see some players getting upset with that. Even so, was there at least a discussion or debate. Was it "I want a break from D&D, let's play Star Wars" and they said they would rather play D&D, and you said you didn't want to play D&D that day. Or did you just make the suggestion and they immediately got up to leave. With my regular group, I've suggested running one shots from time to time in other systems. I have one player who noped out of a Paranoia game because he doesn't like science fiction games. Not a big deal, the rest of us played the one shot and picked up on our D&D game the following session. I can't imagine myself getting up and walking out on a game, even if it came as a last minute surprise. I can see situations where I might be disappointed, but I can still enjoy myself hanging out with people playing whatever. If it was a complete change in campaigns, I may drop out and not come to future sessions. I suppose it depends how close one is to the other players.
