It's time that you could be working, going to a party, seeing family, attending church/temple services, going on a date, drinking with friends, or whatever your social venue of choice happens to be. If you're anything like me, your time and intellectual investment in the hobby are far too great to squander on people who don't share your commitment.Personally, I feel that honesty is the best policy. Dancing around issues just encourages people to speculate or continue in their behavior. Directly tell the group how you feel (politely and tactfully, of course). If they are reasonable, mature adults, you'll either see a change in the group-or at least clear the air before you move on. If being honest with your group doesn't work, they really aren't the type of people you want to game with anyway. C'est la vie.As to whether or not it's worth it to have any game over no game whatsoever... That's a call you have to make for yourself. I've bowed out of gaming for several months to a full year before, and it's a nice break to work out that homebrew, dungeon complex, or adventure path.</blockquote>
