Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kae'Yoss" data-source="post: 3646319" data-attributes="member: 4134">I played in 3 gaming circles so far (with some overlapping between the circles, especially two of them where one was basically the 3e department of the other).I am still playing in one of them (and often run games as well), the others I quite because it made no difference, anyway:The first had too many people who didn't show up quite often, without telling anyone. We'd meet at 16:00 somewhere, and by 16:30 the DM found out, through a couple of calls, that most people wouldn't be there, and we just went home again. One summer, when this has happened for like 8 weeks straight, I told the GM that I'd quit, because this just was too ridiculous. He agreed and said that the games would probably break up, anyway.The second group (the 3e off-shoot) basically ended the same way, but this time the DM was part of the problem. When he one day called that the game was cancelled yet again (that was an hour before the game started), I just called him that I had enough and that I wouldn't return.I have one funny story about that: The initial DM of the third gaming circle I played in (best DM I ever had) wasn't playing with us regularly any more (with him living a couple hundred km away to study at a university with a medical faculty of some renown), only during semester break. One session, when I was asking whether anyone had a problem with us stopping early (for some minor reason I had), he told me that he had to go out in a blaze of glory, since this was his last session for this break, and as the campaign was close to its ending, the last time he could play this character. I agreed to keep on playing.I ran some adventure scavenged from Dragons of Faerûn involving a Redspawn Birther (I think. It's a large red dragonspawn that packs some punch). The thing attacked his character, got a crit, and essentially bit him in half (he was hammered to -15 or so). I swear I didn't fudge anything in that fight, but when I asked him if that was glorious enough, he had to agree that being eaten by a dinosaur-like thing was some way to go.</blockquote>
