[QUOTE="Thornir Alekeg, post: 3415255, member: 15651"] I understand exactly what you are saying. My groups keep falling apart because players move away, players get married or have kids and are no longer able to manage the time reliably, or DMs get too busy with work to keep things going. Part of the issue has also been the players in my groups have not been that close geographically, some requiring a drive of an hour or more to get to the game. The result is that we played on a Saturday or Sunday for a long session since people feel it isn't worth driving 2+ hours to play for 3-4 hours in an evening. Then games get scuttled because of shifting work schedules (two player were nurses and a few worked in retail. Saturday shifts were inevitable.) family obligations, or just too much to do around the house to lose a day on the weekend. Obviously there are many here that have not had this same issue. I wonder if people who have better established games also have players who are closer together so travel time is less of an issue and work mostly 9-5 M-F jobs. [/QUOTE]
