[QUOTE="scourger, post: 5540896, member: 12328"] Man, I've been there. It really stings to have your group quit your game, especially if they are friends. But, it happens; and it sounds like it has happened to you. The worst part to me is that you apparently were not invited to the Pathfinder replacement game. But you still get to play in the semi-monthly 4e game, right; or is it gone? Can you get an invite to the PF game (and would you want to)? Two things to keep in mind. First, there is no loyalty among gamers. I mistakenly thought so at one time. But, this is not a team sport. There are no groups, just irregular collections of individuals. Even your friends will not show for a game that they don't enjoy and will choose other games or activities that they do enjoy. Everyone is out for their own fun, and you should be too. Which brings me to my second point, this is all about having fun. If you're struggling to keep a game running, don't. Give it up. Or switch up the players. Ask your friends what they want to do so that you can get on with what you want to do to have the most fun. And, don't take it personally. Because it isn't. I know it's hard not to take it hard, but you can choose to just take it as everyone is just exercising their individual preferences; which they are. You are too. If the groups need to split, that's cool too. To each his own and no hard feelings. [/QUOTE]
