[QUOTE="Charles Dunwoody, post: 9145574, member: 17927"] That makes sense to me. I think what helps me is to try to do more than just game with my group. Which can be difficult when the group is together only to game and really doesn't want to do other things like board games or movies or go out to dinner. However, if you are in a space that allows it, I do think eating a meal together can establish bonds beyond the game table. It might only be 15 minutes and everyone brings Subway or Taco Bell but I'm beginning to believe those few minutes of breaking bread together may be the glue that holds the whole campaign and group together. We just started having dinner together a few months ago in my group and it has helped me quite a bit, and it let another person in the group flex his creative cooking muscles and cook for the group instead of the host doing it. When people can talk not just about the game but also good food, it expands the connections the group has to each other. All human beings need to eat and the vast majority of people like eating in groups rather than eating alone. It is a bigger connection than gaming alone, at least it seems that way to me. [/QUOTE]
