Message: <blockquote data-quote="Blue" data-source="post: 8055219" data-attributes="member: 20564">My last sessions as a player ... didn't happen.  Falling through all at the last minute.  Feel free to skip this, need to rant a bit.A few weeks back we had the triumphant end of our Avernus campaign. That campaign got run because the normal DM for that night needed a break, so we were going back to that.The same DM was talked into a Star Ware 5e (SW5e) game by another player and I was invited to it. Session 0 occured several weeks ago, we would be meeting Wednesday the following week.And I'm in a long running group that meets alternate Mondays.So, the Monday (the 20th) game comes around, and like an hour before start the DM begs off due to work. Hey, RL happens.Wednesday - SW is pushed back a week.(Thursday - I was supposed to be running but it was one player's birthday, and she and her husband weren't available.)Friday - The DM is that just mentioned husband, and they are doing a weekend trip for her birthday, so we're not restarting the game.Following week - DM starting the SW5e game pushes it back from Wednesday to Friday.Friday - The DM has had work hit them and never did prep for first session of the SW5e game. Last minute "do I start this new SW game which I'm not feeling, but not this week" or "do we restart tonight the complex political game we put off, but pick it up after a few months down time without being sure we'll be able to play in the near future". Oh, and it's mostly but not complete overlap in players, so we'd be leavign behind one player who's ready for SW and hoping one player who wasn't informed happens to be available on no notice for a Friday night game.He picks the long running game, but still pushes it back a week.Monday - we're texting to make sure we're going to play,a dn the DM lets us knwo it's his vacation week so no game. That possibly could have been communicated ahead of time, just maybe? And in two weeks we won't be playing because two players have communicated they will be on vacation.deep breath Ah. better.</blockquote>
