[QUOTE="Man in the Funny Hat, post: 3282783, member: 32740"] Depends on the situation. Sometimes we're still having fun and everyone loves their PC's and the ongoing game so we just throw in some "Divine Intervention". Sometimes we roll up new PC's and start again in the same world because we didn't much care for the PC's or the ongoing plot. Sometimes we change the whole campaign. Sometimes we do indeed play a completely different game altogether - not just RPG's. Back in the day ('80s - early '90s for me), we got together EVERY Saturday, almost without fail, but we didn't ALWAYS just play D&D. We played Traveller, Space Opera, Star Wars (d6), Marvel Superheroes, a little bit of Star Fleet Battles, Micro Armor once or twice when someone got the itch, Battletech a few times, Nuclear War, Risk, Nuclear Risk, Supremacy, Axis & Allies, and any number of other board games both new and VERY old, as well as brief forays into other RPG's like Runequest, and various and sundry other games of all kinds. Once in a while we'd just watch a movie on cable or go see one. It really was a GAMING group. The advent of better computer games - and especially MMORPG's - killed off a LOT of that. But, "the situation" still is never as cut-and-dried as all that. Sometimes you NEED a break even from D&D, and a TPK is often a good indicator of mood - or at least a prompter of reexamination of moods. [/QUOTE]
