[QUOTE="twofalls, post: 2327105, member: 23718"] I find it interesting that you would ask this question. No, adults (who are truely mature) don't hassle their GM about when the next game is going to be, because thats nagging, and it's impolite. Games for adults have to be scheduled in such a manner that they can be anticipated and planned around so generally everyone knows when the next session is happening. Summer months and year end holidays tend to simply be bad for gaming when you are playing with adults who are primary caretakers of families. In addition, adults (again with the afore stated condition) tend to honor their commitments and if they have to cancel them it's for an appropriate reason. Now whether their reasons are appropriate in you mind or not I can't say. I have two groups of gamers, who meet every other week each, so that I am gaming once a week. The general excitement level of the games is high, and I know that they are having a good time... they are also my friends and respect the effort I put into entertaining them. If you are gaming with folks who either don't respect your time, your game, or you, then that might explain your issue, but there are any number of other possible reasons. Asking us to say if its your game itself or not is quite impossible to reliably answer. I get the feeling from your posts that no one on Enworld plays in your game so all in all, with the information you've provided its just not possible to answer your questions. Even with more details (short of meeting you and sampling your game) are we likely going to be able to give you what you are after. :( I think the sugestion to start a new game is a good one... and I'd advise trying to fill it with good friends. Best of luck. [/QUOTE]
