[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 5424960, member: 2011"] I'm totally cool with "taking the sting" out of losing the DM. I was just doing a "literal interpretation" of that rule. I do think there is a big difference between missing a week because the DM goes sking and missing 6 weeks because the DM disappeared. In the former, the players are still more or less playing and in the latter, they really aren't. We should probably discuss what happens if the DM takes any sort of extended leave. I also think that we should clarify the rule a bit more. If the DM disappears and we can get another DM to fill in, the RP continues for the hiatus timeframe. That sounds reasonable. But, what happens if that does not occur? If the DM disappears and we cannot get another DM to fill in, when does the RP end? If the DM disappears and the players decide to not go with a new DM and head back to the tavern, when does the RP end? If the DM disappears and we cannot get another DM to fill in but someone volunteers 6 months later to DM after the thread has been closed down, how do we resolve the RP? [/QUOTE]
