[QUOTE="Guest 6801718, post: 6923745"] First, let me say how sorry I am to hear about your family Centurion!. I can't imagine what you must be going through. Gaming can be that much needed escape sometimes, to let some of the stress out. So perhaps I can help get you back to enjoying your hobby so you can have a much needed break. Perhaps the solution is to switch roles with someone and just be a player for a while rather than a DM. You can have fun crafting a character with a good story and enjoy the game without the stress of dealing with group conflict. That way you still get to play and enjoy your hobby but with a lot of load taken off you. I would encourage someone in the group who hasn't been a DM to give it a shot. If the player (OP) hasn't run a game before, give it a go. Stepping into that role of DM will give you really good insight into what goes into running a game. If running the game was burning you out and making you want to quit, then try just being a player for a while. You still get all the fun of hanging out with friends and gaming. Plus getting to explore a world instead of running one may be just as good a mental distraction for you. [/QUOTE]
