[QUOTE="GQuail, post: 4522749, member: 30709"] This is very true. It's not something that you can judge before the time, either - we'd just need to wait and see how the two parents get on. I think the situation is slightly complicated by having both of them playing. If it was just one, then it may be that after a couple of months they would feel more comfortable letting each have a "night off" a week or whatever, where one gets D&D while the other ones gets to play golf, visit friends or whatever. But having both of them play means that any solution really has to be "all or nothing". Your later plan is the one I currently have in mind: run some sort of cliffhanger/conclusion session (as I usually try to do for hiatuses) and then leave the game for either a full restart or a "movie-length special" to end it. In-between would be a good time for not just one-offs, but also little campaign games we've not had a chance to play. There's a few games in my to-run pile which aren't really one-session friendly, and I might even be able to con another player or two into running something. (Hey, I can dream...) [/QUOTE]
