A good friend of mine (also a regular gamer with us) passed away very suddenly and unexpectantly at age 16. We stopped the campaign and didn't resume for a few months. As most in our group were very close to him, the new campaign became a very therapeutic way of dealing with our grief. It grew into the longest lasting, most memorable campaign any of us has played. I remember sessions of very emotional roleplaying. We ended up discussing beliefs in the afterlife and the meaning of our existences all in the framework of D&D. And when the campaign ended in its natural climax, there was a catharsis reached, and we stopped playing for quite a while. So I guess that my advice would be ... it depends on your group. I would ask them what they would want to do. Are they feeling comfortable with it?  At any rate, I hope that you can continue to celebrate the life and memories of your friend at the gaming table and beyond. Retreater</blockquote>
