[QUOTE="ckirby, post: 158006, member: 3439"] Hello all, Recently, I have had to pull the plug on my D&D group for an unspecified amount of time. My recent promotion, Summer weather, and other personal events have created a real problem for me and meeting weekly with my group. In short, I was and am, burned out. I was the DM, so me leaving does put a kink in peoples' plans, I am sure. There are a number of individuals in the group, however, that are more than capable of continuing on as the DM...no one stepped forward, though. In fact, when I left, a number of other individuals left with me...making it look like a group split..which it was not. Now, here's the catch....I fear that there are a few members of our group who took my "jumping ship" personally. While I cannot do anything to make them "snap out of it", I do regret that we might not be able to play again in the future. Sad, really. Any advice? Any stories? A number of the members from the group still talk to me but there are a few who seem to disbelieve that I even exist anymore. Pretty silly. All of the people I played with were fine examples of creative, energetic gamers...a real credit to the game. Loosing them as players is a hard hit to the gut. [/QUOTE]
