[QUOTE="Stumblewyk, post: 5843249, member: 67606"] My players are good people. Honestly. About 6 years ago, life dictated that my wife and I move back to her hometown. Our son had just died, and my wife *needed* to be near to her mother and sister. As we sat down to our next session after my wife and I had decided on the move, I sadly explained the situation to the group (they were all *really* great during our son's ordeal, but none of them were aware we considering moving). We had played monthly, rotating homes, for just a little over a 2 years at this point, and had all gotten to know and like each other quite a bit over that time. Even so, I was sure it meant the end of our regular game. Without skipping a beat, they all just kind of looked at each other and almost as a group said, "Okay. We'll drive out to your place to game every other month. On the other months, you drive here. Fair?" Yeah guys, definitely fair. :) I still get kinda misty just thinking about it. It was such a simple gesture, but it meant a lot at the time for me, and I'm so happy to still get to game with those guys. Then, a few months ago, I decided I was kinda burnt out GMing. I'm generally in the "write your own adventure" camp, but decided that I just didn't have the energy to do that, at least for the time being. I announced I'd still run the game, but I was going to start running pre-written modules. When I decided which modules I was going to run, one of my players bought me a Paizo.com gift certificate, covering the price of all 3 modules. He told me he just wanted to thank me for running my game for the last 7 years, that was all. He knew I worked hard to provide him and the rest of our group with a regular game, and he wanted to let me know it was appreciated. :) [/QUOTE]
