Message: <blockquote data-quote="Voneth" data-source="post: 454385" data-attributes="member: 1016">"If you kill me, I'll leave the group! I swear!"That is emotional blackmail, not a behavior I am inclined to tolerate. The funny thing is that if you guys are the only gamers in town, then who is he going to game with if he leaves? Sounds like he'll be in a worse fix than you.I used to live where there were no roleplayers myself, and after bending backwards to please the few players I could find and run games that I didn't enjoy, I almost burned out in gaming, so I took some time off. It was better to take a sabbatical than have no fun.Recently I tried to run a game at a crowded game store (luckily I also had another game I played in off-site). I gave up simiply because I got tired of getting squeezed out to make more room for the CCG players who spent a lot more money than my rpg group. It didn't help that the group I was with was starting to act like aforementioned rpgers. So I took time off again.Recently the CCG crowd died down and some store employees decided to run an rpg in the store again -- without asking the guy (me) who had been doing the same thing before the employees even got hired. Eventualy, I started running my game again, I lucked out and got some new players who are much better than the ones I had before.My point is that I discovered that there are times you have to forego the whole group to ensure you keep your sanity. I think that losing one player and have only 3 players and one GM will be fine. The two year game I play in has had at least half it's session with that same number as the fourth player either can't show up or we lost someone to work schedules, etc.</blockquote>
