[QUOTE="shadzar, post: 5455463, member: 6667746"] 1- schedule the game sooner if possible. 2- be early to the game if you have questions as the game will start on time. anything missing will have to wait until the end of the game night to figure out. set aside time at the end of the game night to resolve issues. 3- has anyone ever played the game before, besides of including yourself? 4- stop sending out any emails. if they want to continue to play, let them come to you. if they don't then i am sorry you lost your game. it seems like you are jumping through hoops for people that do not appreciate your efforts. Send one email, telling them you have done so much work to get the game working, you really like playing with them, but you will no longer be able to be the only one working to make the game happen. There are at least 2 kids being affected by this situation. While you cannot make a decision for the other, you can for your own. Does the amount of stress carry over when spending time with your child? I don't think you are wanting to upset anyone nor trying to do anything to harm anyones feelings. Your understanding of the nature of gaming with children means you also aren't putting your own in danger of seeing you in stress. Don't let it int he future either. Really the people are imposing on your hospitality and your family's. So just let them know. tell them, in face or person not in email, the things you have listed here that you are not comfortable with about the game. [/QUOTE]
