[QUOTE="CanadienneBacon, post: 1810512, member: 11146"] I'm having a hard time resisting posting to this thread and it looks like I'm about to be unsuccessfull in my attempt to avoid it and let it go. I feel an overwhelming urge to put in here because I used to play for the guy who originated this thread. We played in a Scarred Lands campaign of his for a couple of months. He told us that it was his first time DMing. We all thought he was a great DM and told him as much. When it came time for me to take my annual family vacation, it was agreed upon before I left that we'd all pick up gaming when I got home. Not so! I ended up calling dreaded beast at least three times, left messages on his voicemail all three times over the course of July, August, and then even one extra time in September just to make sure. Dreaded beast, did you know that the group you just so cavalierly shoved off was, in fact, very worried for you? Not only did he not return my phone calls, he did not reply to e-mail. I actually had been thinking to myself all this time that you'd been in a car accident, hospitalized, or worse. Half of me is glad you're alive and well, and the other half is pretty angry that you saw fit to simply ABANDON your gaming group without notice or concern for our game. I thought we had a great game going. I liked you, liked the campaign, liked your style. I'm at a loss for what happened. I know that I've repeatedly said at our gaming table that I value up-front honesty. I really wish that, if you had a problem with me or with anyone else, or with anything at all, that you'd voiced your opinion. Even if you'd said, "Hey, I just can't make the trip to your house, or I just don't want to game with you anymore..." that would've been far superior, in my eyes, to you taking an absolute powder on the group. Better luck to you next time. I see you have a new group or groups now. I guess I'm posting to this moldy old thread because all other attempts to get in touch with you were obviously rebuffed.
