The reasons can be summed up as follows:No one can commit to a regular game time due to work conflicts (like being in another country for x weeks)No one has any game material other than myself.No one wants to actually DM. Me included.I haven't played DnD as a player since 2nd ed. And that's not due to a passion for DMing.I've been thinking about this exact issue lately, because two of my players seem to be itching for a game. The more I reflect on it, the more I realize that only 1 of my players is causing any real problem. So, when I eventually get past my burn out, I will try to run a game without him, and see how that goes. Problem is that leaves me with only 3 players. And I feel 4 is the minimum for a good game.Zustiur.</blockquote>
