[QUOTE="jbear, post: 4598838, member: 75065"] I have two groups. Every player is married and has one, althogh most two kids. The logistics is a nightmare, and from a dnd junkies point of view, I have had to chill out about arranging game nights big time. No one is p-whipped, no one has a psycho control freak at home beating them when the come in the door. Everyone has families, responsibilities and a lives that doesnt have the game in the centre of their orbit. So I take it with philosophy: once a month for 3 or 4 hours or not at all. Definitely if I was the player and the DM came at me with an agressive attitude like some who have posted here the only response from me would be just as agressive... and it would probably all spiral down the rabbit hole into some wierd street fight with katanas... ehem... actually no it wouldnt, but it would be a good reason to stop playing... So I don't know what advice I can give you that you havent already received apart from breathe deep, stay chilled and spend some feat slots on enhancing your diplomacy skills... Meanwhile see if you can interest new players in joining the game, or beginning a new campaign. That way if you play the new game 3 times a month, it doesnt matter if you only play the other game once a month. [/QUOTE]
