[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 4524242, member: 463"] My mostly non-gaming wife got pregnant. Meant I had to give up RPGing for about a 9 month period before and after the birth, but I've been running regular twice-monthly games since Bill was 13 months old, with a break next month as my wife is having surgery for an ovarian cyst and she'll need me looking after Bill for a while at the weekends. Should be back in December though. My feeling is that paternity/maternity will disrupt but shouldn't necessarily mean a permanent end to participation in the campaign. There are babysitters, if both parents play. There are evening games at their house. That said, given how long your campaign has run, it might be a good idea to run a finale over the next few months. You should keep connections open to the new parents though in case one or both would like to rejoin a new game once things settle down. Edit: Breastfeeding - I'd recommend either do it discretely, which takes practice, or do it away from the table. It took my wife a few months to be able to breastfeed completely discretely. [/QUOTE]
