[QUOTE="MerakSpielman, post: 1401993, member: 7464"] We haven't played since January - and that particular game had itself been the first game in over a month. People just didn't seem to want to make D&D a priority any more. It's kind of sad, after 3 years together, that it should end so... quietly. We always kept in touch via email - and four of our players (out of eight) hadn't responded to any of the "so are we going to get together this weekend" emails for over a month now. It really felt like breaking up with a significant other. We had incredible reluctance to take the final step and send out our final email. It felt like we were ending a special phase of our life - even though we were never really [i]close[/i] friends with the people in the group. So my wife and I have started a neophyte group with a close friend of ours, but we're going to need one or two more people to really get a campaign going again. We're going to finish the mod we're working on and then think more seriously about active recruiting. I find it interesting, though, that my wife and I, when talking about the situation and what we should do, never considered for a moment [i]not[/i] playing D&D any more. It wasn't an option. Our choices were a) hold out and hope the group pulls together again or b) s=break up with them and start a new group. There was never another option considered. [/QUOTE]
