[QUOTE="billd91, post: 8752514, member: 3400"] Except when it's girl-/boyfriends. I experienced a bit of this too, though the group didn't, at the time, completely break up. For one of the players (and main DMs), it was wanting to spend time with his girlfriend, who did try to play in one adventure. And for another player it was picking up a part-time job that ate into our gaming time. In both of those cases, they didn't break up the group, but they did significantly reduce the time we had available to game compared to the years prior. And as one of the players who wasn't particularly interested dating and who didn't have a job, I was in the position of Will Byers though without quite his urgency (due to his trauma and unrequited love for Mike). All that said, having kids is a very [B]BIG[/B] deal. It's one of the reasons that my wife no longer participates in the Thursday night game (though we added a Sunday afternoon game so she could play). And it's why games have shifted venue so that the game is at the homes of players with the youngest kids who need the most care from parents who still want to play. And it's one of the reasons one of our games might shift back to online or go hybrid now that school has started up again (I've got 2 high schoolers and 1 middle schooler in a game I run). [/QUOTE]
