I didn't join from the beginning of the campaign, but after hearing how much fun my friends were having my fiance' and I asked if we could join and the GM agreed. One of the other PCs was the daughter of a very powerful dragon. We went on a quest involving her father, who'd gone insane. We took an artifact back to him that we hoped would cure him. Then suddenly the GM announced that everyone lost all memory of those events, as the result of a spell cast by the dragon. Now my character and my fiance's character had never even met the rest of the party.  Basically the GM told us that things weren't going the way he'd wanted, so he pressed the reset button. My PC and my fiance's PC had to meet the other party members all over again, and only another player's pixie PC was able to remember anything about what had happened before the reset. Then within a couple of sessions the GM stopped scheduling sessions or answering his phone or email. He apparently turned all his attention to helping his wife with her new jewelry business and taking care of their 4 kids. I haven't seen him since. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" /></blockquote>
