[QUOTE="Frozen DM, post: 2541367, member: 35841"] Count me as a victim of this horribly debilitating curse... There are periods where our group will go from one game to another, crafting characters and running introductory scenarios, only to switch to a new game as soon as its released. In the last month we've switched from D&D to Warhammer FRP to Arcana Evolved. And I'm getting ready to pull the plug on AE so we can play Mutants and Mastermids 2nd edition. My second gaming group is a little more stable, but we still switch every few months. We were playing MM 1st Edition, then switched back to D&D and are now in a somewhat stable d20 Modern game. Unfortunately, at GenCon, me a couple of that groups players started Shackled city (we had nothing to do Wednesday or Sunday evening) so the rest of the group would like to switch to that soon. Having 2 different groups to play in helps alleviate some of the symptoms of Gamer ADD, but as a DM I still find myself switching from one campaign idea or setting to another. The other DM in our group is likewise having the same problem, trying to decide between continuing his d20 Modern game, or running us through a 3.5 conversion of Temple of Elemental Evil, Against the Giants and Slavers series. I agree with Crothian though, sometimes you need to see how you can incorporate new interests into the current campaign. I've been planning on running a Planescape-like game for a while now, just so I can experiment with different settings and rules, all the while keeping a consitent campaign going. [/QUOTE]
